Top of the line Generator!

Powerful, efficient, and quiet! After extensive research, I found the W12000DF Generator is the most efficient on fuel in the class of its size... AND it's the best bang for your buck. Along with a great warranty, what's to hesitate? It provides more runtime on a tank of gas than other comparable unit I looked at. We also heat our home with propane, so this spring, I'm planning on running a line to the rear patio so there will plenty of fuel for any extended outage situation.
There are plenty of outlets. The weatherproof outlet covers are a great feature, snap in place. We live in a rural area and the electric goes out every season. This past winter it was out for 5 days...frustrating as it is, but finally we can run our entire home on this plant alone...we have 2 separate electric entrances, and it runs both. Before, on our little generator, we could only run on 110; a few lights and no appliances; now we can run everything, including the electric range, water heater, well pumps and even my small welder (if I need it).
For a portable unit, this Gen packs a great punch. It's heavy, but once in place, it'll just do its thing. I love the push button start and the remote start FOB...super easy; no more pulling recoil cords!...especially in freezing weather! If you use the remote start, the switch on the Gen will have to be "on", which means it will put a continual drain on the battery but just remember to turn it off when in storage. Comes with its own charger, simple to use. Battery is a little difficult to attach but it's kept out of the way and once it's connected, forget about it. The charger port is on the front of the panel so it's not a problem to charge it.
I would suggest purchasing a transfer switch to compliment your unit. I got a 50 amp outside connector box with a twist-lock cord and hardwired the box directly into our circuit panels. Works great!

Excellent Performance
on March 21, 2022
Posted by: The Troll
from Westchester County, NY
I purchased this generator to power my house and I also wanted the option of dual fuel, because with some of the power failures we have had in our area, gas stations could not dispense gasoline. This generator easily powered my home when I tested it. It easily supplied my two refrigerators, boiler, and a large air conditioning unit (the condensing unit and the air handler). This was done while running on propane.
This generator is not noisy-probably as loud as a riding lawn mower. The generator is fits in the back of my garage, and for a man with a bad back, I had no problem maneuvering it.

Beast of a generator

Finally was able to snag one of these. It powers the whole house without missing a beat, and with a clean, low THD so the electronics are safe. Can’t wait for the first power outage.

Haven't used it yet but started on 1st try

I bought this for backup power due to two recent power outages. Murphy's Law, power hasn't been out since. After assembly and filling with oil and gas, the generator started on the 1st try. Can't say that I am eager for another power outage, but I will be ready for it when it comes.
