Powerful, Flexible, and Reliable Backup for Hurric

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with the Generac GP9500E Tri Fuel Generator! It’s very well-built and feels super sturdy. It is quite heavy, though, so I definitely recommend having two people to lift it if needed. Once you get the wheels installed, it becomes much easier to move around. The setup was pretty straightforward, there aren’t too many pieces, and I was actually able to put it together by myself, though it would go faster with two people. I’m especially glad to have this generator since I live in Florida, where hurricane season can easily knock out the power. Last year, we couldn’t use our submersible water pump to prevent flooding during a storm because we lost power, so having this generator as a backup gives me so much more peace of mind. I also love that it runs on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, just with the turn of a dial. It’s super flexible and reliable, and I love that the COsense technology adds extra safety by automatically shutting down the generator if dangerous carbon monoxide levels are detected. Overall, I’m really happy with this unit and feel much more prepared for the next hurricane season!

Works great right out of the box

I was amazed on easy everything was and how well it was all explained. Setup took less than 10 minutes and you just have to fill with the oil supplied and fill with gas. Getting the gas took the longest time of the whole setup process. Started on the first pull and ran like a champ. It runs quiet and and with very little vibration. I purchased this unit because I am sick out power outages and this is the best investment made for that problem. It will run everything that is needed when your power goes out, to get you by without damage to your home or your pocketbook. Best Investment I ever made, don't know what took me so long to get one!

Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a powerful generator, it packs a lot of punch!! Great features like the electrical outlets, the size is compact and convenient and is actually a bit more quiet then I expected (it's not quiet, but definitely not the loudest I have heard) I think everyone would should have something like this for emergency purposes and recreational use. I would absolutely recommend this to all my friends and family.

Great one pull generator.

I bought this after a hurricane last fall when my other generator acted up. Its a nice generator, starts on first pull. Was able to run freezers, refrigerators and coffee maker :). The only nuisance was the GFI. I had a refrigerator that kept setting it off so I couldn't power it. I understand it is code and safety, but when you need a generator its usually bad weather and GFI's don't like bad weather. All in all a great little generator.

Good quality

This generator is amazingly easy to start. I put oil and gas in it and slowly pulled the cord to make sure the engine would turn over freely and it started right up. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because the gas fill cap is in the center of the tank. If it was located closer to the side it would be much easier to add fuel to the tank without spilling it.

Was able to get an outstanding deal on a slightly used, 0.4 hrs., 15000e.

I wired the generator up to the house and tested it out. Ran everything including a 3.5 ton AC. Now ready for the inevitable South Florida Hurricanes. Unit started right up after I replaced a 4 year old battery that was completely dead. One of my best purchases.

Excellent Generator!!

This generator performed excellent right out of the box!! Took less than 20 minutes to assemble prior to starting. Very simple instruction for assembly and operation. Came in handy when we lost power recently for 7 days!!! Believe me, we put it through the tests to see just what it would and wouldn't run and were very surprised. The only thing it wouldn't run was our drier which was no big surprise. Ran all our other 220volt items!

Best generator I've ever owned!!

Having had 2 other generators over the last 20 years, this one out-performs all the others. It starts so easy, I really do not need the electric start feature. It has plenty of power to operate the house. We seem to have frequent power losses, so having a back-up is a way of life.

DEAD unit & useless warranty

WORTHLESS. Unit will not start, presumably due to dead battery (as many others have said) that will not take/hold a charge. Generac said they would replace the battery under warranty but after 6 months and numerous phone calls, the replacement battery has yet to be shipped out from the manufacturer.
