    • Good performance and value
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I had to order the high altitude kit and installed it before using. Easy set up other than that. Good performance and value for the price. It came with oil and the battery was charged and it started up right away. Don't know about long term performance, but everything about it seems good quality and a solid build. ... show more

    • Good product for emergency power
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Great packaging. No dents or blemishes in paint. Easy assembly. Started without any issues. Haven't used it for any emergency outages and hopefully won't have to. Used with gasoline and propane. Swap over was easy. Very sturdy construction.

    • Value and Quality
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Get value in a portable generator. Noise level is very acceptable. Packaged well. Easy assembly of legs and wheels. Wheels have bearings, and that is nice. Controls simple. The Instructions are very well written and include maintenance schedules. It is nice to have oil, a funnel, a battery charger, tools, a propane hose, and a connector (did not have to buy). Easy start with the start button or key fob. Well made. It is being used to power my house via an interlock switch and plug installed by an electrician, which is a simple solution. This generator and hookup is saving me thousands versus a Generac. Extremely highly rated on Amazon. ... show more

Well, I finally went to put it together. but I am missing the 4 flange bolt M8. So I will call the service team for them. And, do another post. But, it looks pretty and clean. Have not used yet. So, once I do I will do another post. Excited to have just in case, trying to be prepared.

    • Excellent Generator for power outtages
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Works great and is able to power up my whole home without any issues or problems. The remote start features are a really great touch that allows me to turn the generator off and on from the comforts of my home which is an added bonus. The noise level isn't too bad. After all it is a gas generator, so those tend to be a little noisier. The price was excellent. Way cheaper than some higher level brands that offer less power. Overall, I give this a 10/10 ... show more

    • Excellent product at a good price
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Arrived early with no damage. Very easy set-up. Everything you need is included with unit, Total set-up time about 30 minutes. Fired up easily no problems. Unit build is very solid, but moves easily. Very impressed with quality and price. This is a replacement for an older generator.

    • First impression, it’s a strong machine!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I just got my new WGen9500DF 12500W generator in a couple of days ago. Putting the wheels on and getting it ready to do a test run was easy. There were yellow tags on the oil dipstick, the propane connection and the battery cables. If you even remotely educated on how generators run you should be able to pull that part off. There is a components section in the user manual that tells you what each piece of the generator is and what part it plays in the operation. I knew what most of them were based on previous usage with generators but I still looked these pages over to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, which is not a bad idea for anyone considering not all generators are alike. Once I had everything setup and my propane connected I was ready to run the generator for a little while. I had placed the generator on the side of the house where my bedroom was, at the safe distance the manual suggest, to also test how loud it was since I noticed some of the reviews mentioned it being loud. I turned the propane on switched the fuel source on the generator and turned on the battery. On the second time hitting the Start/Stop button the generator fired up and ran like a champ. Given the first time this machine had been cracked since being tested in the factory it had to pick up the fuel is why I believe it took a second attempt to start. It was nothing out of the ordinary for a new machine and is expected to some degree when using propane as the fuel source because of changing out the propane cylinder. Propane was my choice because I mainly bought the machine for backup power during storms. Going back to how loud the machine was. Yes outside next to the machine while it was running was a little loud. But you could still carry on a conversation standing next to it without it seeming like you were yelling at the other person. Once I went inside I could hear it running but it wasn’t so loud that I’d loose sleep. I also tested the remote control and it worked great as well. So far I have no complaints that amount to giving less than a 5 star. The only real issue was the manual didn’t clearly say how long to run the unit for a break in period before putting under a load. As simple web search and you can find all kinds of info and “experts” out there that can give you the info you seek. Overall, my first impression is this unit is strong and shows that it will provide plenty of power to keep my family comfortable during times of power outages. ... show more
