    • Solid generator for a backup power source.
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Everything appears to be very well-built and quality. No issues and everything arrived well packaged and ready to go, out of the box, minus simple assembly of wells and pegs. It comes with a propane connection hose, oil and a funnel, tools to assemble and the wireless remote in addition to the unit itself. The handle allows for easy dollying around locations. It is very heavy, and was delivered by a team with a large box truck and gate drop with a dolly so you'll likely want a hand getting it to the desired location in case doing it alone. ... show more

    • Power, value and easy operation.
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Great product at a great price. Very versatile having gasoline and propane fuel options. Lots of power and moderate operating sound. Connection to home electrical feed has solid safeguards and easy instructions.

    • Great Generator at a Great Prime Day Price!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel - CO Sensor
I just received this generator today so not much to say yet. This will power key circuits in my house when the power goes out. Setting it up by the instructions was simple and on the first try it started. I tested a 30amp load and it powered them with ease. Noise really isn't any different than other big generators. I love the remote start and the trickle power supply for the battery, which both work flawlessly. The only negative is the foam on the handle was already coming apart. Not really worried about it as long as this generator powers my house during outages for years to come. ... show more

    • This generator is a beast.
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Wished I had this bad boy a couple weeks ago when we had a power outage for a few days. When you have a couple freezers, one with half a beef you start worrying. Luckily a friend loaned me a small generator to get through. Years have gone by without a power failure of more than a couple hours but with more and more severe storms, thanks to climate change, it 's time to take precautions. Ordered this generator for piece of mind. Better to have and not need etc. Received in undamaged box. Unboxed, assembled and had running in about 35 minutes. Read pertinent ifo before starting. Everything is straight forward and easy. Everything needed is in the box except gas. Straight unleaded, no ethanol, is the only gas to use in power equipment for longevity. Started up with nary a hiccup. The remote even worked. More reading, break in, and testing tomorrow, but this generator appears to be a beast [I hope never to have to load it up to transport without a bunch of help and a ramp]. I plugged in a couple small things and it didn't even blip. It gives some piece of mind for power failures. Looks to be a good decision for when and if needed. All I need is a hookup for my well and we're set for the upcoming winter and future storms. ... show more

    • Awsome once everthing got resolved
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
This seems to be a great device once the issues got resolved On Prime day this WGen9500df was on sale for a great price. Unlike my normal and frequent experiences with items purchased from Amazon this purchase was almost a comedy of errors that probably do not lie with Amazon themselves but more with the Mfg. company and delivery service. First off, be aware that if you live at an altitude above 2000 ft. in elevation as I do you will need to buy the high altitude carb kit to change the jet in the carburetor and the high altitude kit for the propane regulator. XPO Frieght was the delivery service for my unit. They called me a week before to schedule a delivery date and time window and told me I had to be there and to expect a call shortly before they arrived. On the day of delivery I recieved text message early saying that they were on the way. After that things went south. Delivery was three hours past the end of the three hour delivery window they had given me, I never recieved a call before the delivery driver knocked on my door saying they had dropped the unit off on the apron of my driveway. Not sure but the delivery people looked like they were perhaps contracted by XPO and to be fair the drivers who were respectful said they were not instructed to call before delivery and were not expecting for anyone to be home to recieve the item, but then said he was instructed to get my signature. I did get the delivery guys to move the unit where I needed it by the house before they left. Amazon sent a message asking how the delivery went. After I replied I got a message from XPO asking what had happened and that someone would follow up shortly after my text response but I have not heard back from XPO and that was over ten days ago. Outside of the high altitude carb and propane kit everything else you need comes with this unit including engine oil, the funnel to pour it in , battery charger, spark plug wrench and wrench for installing the feet provided for the unit. I put gas in the tank opened the gas fuel valve and almost immediately gas started dripping out (about one drop per second) from where the carb is bolted to the cylinder head, not good. I closed the valve and called customer service , used the option where they will call me back when it is my turn. Did not recieve a call back. Called again the next day and did recieve a call back within one half hour. A very nice and very knowledgable lady said that the fuel needle probably got knocked out of its seat during shipping (my generator arrived in what appeared to be excellent condition with no scrapes or holes in the cardboard shipping box) which made perfect sense so I said I will take it apart since I am fairly handy around these things and see if that fixes the situation. I also told her I lived at an high altitude and so she emailed me links to the kits I needed and also instructions to install the carb kit. Unfortunately after first succesfully paying for the propane kit I went on to order the carb kit which was SOLD OUT and realized that both the parts links she sent were for machines built before 2019. I then found and ordered the right kits for both but now also have that first propane kit also that is worthless to me. At only about 10 bucks in cost its not woth the time and effort to me to try and return. Once the parts arrived I took of the carb installed the new high altitude jet which was simple to do and reassembled the carb making sure that the fuel needle and seat were correctly orientated with each other. Opened the fuel valve and no more drip of gas.....great! I looked around but was not quite sure were the propane part was to be installed. The diagrams in the manual do not call out the item and could not find instructions on the company website. Took two more days of trying before getting ahold of a representative who seemed helpful and said she could email me something that day that shows where the part goes, she verified my email address but I never recieved anything from her. I went back to looking around on my own and found that this brass threaded fitting simply screws into the "out" (it is marked) port on the propane regulator that is actually located where you would attach a propane hose to. Now that everything is squared away this generator is great. I really like the remote starter which works from anywhere in my house. It starts easily and runs and powers well. I am guessing that most people would probably not run into what I did, but this was my experience. ... show more
