I purchased this unit to be prepared for the next outage. March 3rd, 2020 (Tornadoes) and May 3rd, 2020 (Derecho) were not kind to the Nashville area. I was without power 8+ days between the two. In comes my WGen7500DF. This will not happen again. I have added an exterior plug and can run my sub-panel via this unit. I have tested it twice since my purchase on 7/31/2020. I am able to run all my essentials (fridge, lights, tankless water unit, outlets, TV's etc...). It can also run my HVAC unit, but in order to do so, I had to turn off most/some of the aforementioned, which is an issue. The unit itself is very well built, and was easy to install the wheels. It's about as loud as expected for this size unit. I have heard some that are quieter but definitely other that are louder. So this one lands in the middle. The auto/push to start is wonderful. Opened up the gas line, gave it a push and it was up and running! I will update this review if/when we have an extended outage. But at this point, I am very satisfied with the capabilities!
I would recommend this to a friend!

After comparing and speaking with friends with generators I decided to purchase this model because of its features, price, and amazon favorite rating. I hope I won't be disappointed when the storms come. Very heavy

Received the generator recently.Though a senior citizen,I was able to assemble and attach wheels and legs. This required leaning the generator to a 60 degree angle.Oil fill was achieved ,though a bit awkward The included angled oil funnel is needed to accomplish this.The battery connection was made by removing the ties to the leads and pressing the ends of the leads together. Neat! A battery charger is included and was used.The indicator light turned green on full charge. Do read the instructions regarding its use.
The easy access gasoline tank was filled by leaning the gas can on a wooden support placed across the frame. I then could avoid taking the weight of the can on my arms. The manual included, clearly describes the steps needed to use this generator safely. Moving the generator away from the house took some effort.The machine moves well on its wheels. Once in a good position and level,all the appropriate necessary maneuvers were made. Then the electric start button was pushed and the machine started after a short interval. Later the remote start was also tested and the generator instantly responded.
Having successfully tested the gasoline mode, I decided next to use propane in the circuit . The manual is clear about the steps needed to be taken for a fuel change. Once again there was a rapid resonse, with the notor running smoothly. Very satisfacory.
I had not tested attachment to the electrician installed transfer switch ,and so it was the last run in my initial assessment .I connected the cable to the generator and to the rransfer switch and started the generator, powering some of the selected house circuits. All went well. The initial impression is that of a well made machine with dual fuel capability and having electric and remote start. Manual start is available,but I plan on not ever using that mode! As yet I have not tested the 120v output and the GFI circuits.
In time I am sure that this machine will prove to be a very reliable home backup with ample power for those occasions when outages occur.Reassessment at a later date after further use, before a fifth star is to be added.
