Setup was easy. Love the remote. Got me through a 48 hour power outage in Texas after 2021 winter ice storm. Powered refrigerator, microwave, several space heaters, electric blanket, essentially everything we needed in our house except the heat pump (space heaters took care of our heating needs).
I just received the WGen700 yesterday and me and my father were able to assemble it quickly. The instructions were thorough and easy to follow. I look forward to using the generator for multiple purposes.
I wish we had this generator last week when our power was out for 27 hours straight. At least I could've kept our refrigerators running, our phones charged, perhaps a space-heater to keep warm, etc. I now have some peace of mind for the next grid failure. This is a very nice machine!
Pros: Easy to assemble. The remote start works great and is very convenient. Produces plenty of power and doesn’t bog down with high surge loads. Fuel shutoff is easy to access. Included a quart of oil, an angled funnel, tool kit, and battery charger. The instructions also explain how to convert the generator to a floating neutral for use with a transfer switch.
Cons: Heavy, but manageable with the flip-up handle and hard rubber wheels. It is quite loud but tolerable compared to other open frame generators in this range.
Bottom line: Affordable, powerful, with great features - this is a great buy!
