Everything that you need

So far am very satisfied. This generator is rated at all the power needed to run a household in emergency situations. Bought along with the Automatic ST Switch to automatically power necessary 110 volt items. Haven't wired into house yet, but have run multiple high starting draw items along with heaters and power tools in the garage during break-in running. From what I have seen, I don't think this generator will have any problem running the household. My opinion is that this is an ideal setup for in town use at an affordable price as opposed to unreasonably priced Generac and Kohler automatic generators. Really like the key fob push button start as well.

Great generator

I have bought it two months ago and so far happy with it. Durable construction, reach feature set - dual power source, plenty of outlets, even battery charger! The only remark I wished it came on a pallete so it's easier to assemble wheals. Without it it's quite a trick how to lift 200lb and do all the job with only one pair of hands.

Auto start, Key Fob, Safety features, ext plug ins

Was able to have it hooked into breaker box & ran beautifully. The provided funnel made it extremely easy to fill the oil & appreciate it came with quart of oil, so know what to use for it. The battery tender provided will be a lifesaver being able to recharge, rather than replace! Also including a tool kit with the perfect size to be able to change spark plug & do any maintenance for the unit. Another great feature are the extra plug ins are all on the same side, easy to access & clearly labeled.

Easy Set-up

While I have not used the generator for its intended purpose as a power backup, the set up could not have been easier. After quickly installing the wheels and resting pads, all I had to do was add the oil, connect the battery and the propane before pushing the button on the key fob. It fired up immediately. I am also impressed that they include a battery charger that simply plugs into a port should you need to use it. Very impressed so far.

Using during power outages

Purchased after our most recent power outage ran a few days with total loss of refrigerated items. This unit is for emergency power and plugged directly into the house power system using 50 amp outlet to run a/c during hot weather along with refrigerator. Additionally some lights and television. Nice solid unit, heavy, with easy access for fueling. Battery start and ability to charge it from the generator is nice.

Easy Set-Up and Operation

Product arrived 1-day ahead of delivery date. If you have experience with generators, set-up and operation is simple with the included manual. Be sure to purchase an extra quart of 4-cycle oil. The unit comes with 1bottle but it is not enough to fill the reservoir. It will take 2 people at delivery time to move. Once you attach the wheels it only requires one person to move the generator around. Absolutely no problems with starting and operation. I'm using it with my house and there is enough power to start-up AC/Heating unit, refrigerator, TV, lights and outlets. Did not start washer and dryer. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Heavy Duty gen set

I bought this to power a RV with 2 a/s units. It doesn't even grunt when the compressors kick in. The remote key fob start is definently a plus. I think this one will last a long time as it is very rugged. I might also add it is a heavy unit so plan on having help if you need to load it. I am happy with it so far.

Great Generator

I was actually amazed how easy and fast the the setup was. It started up on the first try and delivered the power as expected according to the specs. My most difficult part was determining the appropriate oil amount to be added. As I further examined the manual I did see the oil tank size was 1.6 quarts and oil container provided was also 1.6 quarts. So it didn't take a rocket scientist to know the entire oil container should be used. I'm 86 yrs old and un crated the 200 lb generator myself and also attached the wheels etc. I have only used propane so far and don't know if I'll ever use gasoline. I did evaluate other generators and am glad I selected the 9500DF.

Solid, versatile, heavy duty

I purchased this model got the max power output and duel fuel options. I also love the easy start and easy of use. Since we live an area where power goes out for days at a time no matter if it’s winter, summer or just a storm. Since I work remotely this unit has been a blessing.

Great features at a great price

I bought this generator to power my daughter's house during power outages. It is used as a whole-house generator with a 50 Amp inlet cabled to the generator's 50 Amp outlet. So far it is able to power her 5-ton AC unit and all appliances using the gasoline fuel option. Have not tried the propane fuel option yet.
