Great Features - Simple to use

I bought this during the Tax Free sales week for storm prep and I am so happy that I did....after a lesson from my dad, I am confident that I will be able to easily use this generator, if necessary. I love that it is dual fuel, making it easier for me to keep propane tanks on had, which is cleaner and safer stored outside by my BBQ and I don't have to worry so much about tons of the gas tanks laying around.

Well designed and sturdy generator

This generator is very well-packaged and everything for assembly is thought of. It includes oil, wrenches to pop the wheels on, etc. The outlet panel is very sturdy and well laid-out. It even has a plug-in battery maintainer to ensure the on-board starter battery is always ready to go. No gasoline residue in tank or carburetor when brand new, so very easy to maintain if you plan on using propane only from the get-go.

A must have!!!

Everything I expected and more!!! The only issue was the delivery. The box was roughed up a bit causing some scratches to the frame. It was raining when delivered and it was left hanging off the covered porch and got soaked. They even took a picture showing it was raining. So when I went to move it the cardboard was totally mushed. I had to open it right where it sat. Basically, I had to peel it open like a banana.

Great Features for the Price!

Bought this for home backup and for use with our camper. Dual fuel option is great for camping - I can hook straight to our camper's gas system. Remote start option is great to restart the genset the next morning without having to walk outside. Output is great for full camper - even with AC in the summer!

Good

I hesitate to leave a review after only owning something for a few days because the thing could break tomorrow. That said, so far this generator is impressive. I've fired it up a couple times and put some small loads on it and it didn't miss a beat. It runs smooth and my 21 gallon 120 volt 20 amp air compressor did not make this thing bog down when it kicked in and started running. I love the dual fuel option but haven't tried the propane yet. Easy to assemble and quick to get up and running. Sound is equivalent to others in this class and I thought was acceptable. Not too heavy and fairly easy to move around. The only issue, and it may not really be one, is the rated THC of less than 23%. I assume the 23% is the max running at capacity and if only pulling 5k watts this may be much lower. How much? I wish I knew. But there are ways to to accommodate this when plugging in sensitive electronics. All in all I definitely recommend this generator. Time will tell how long it will last, but so far so good.

Solid performance

Bought this to replace an old (23 years) Generac. Very easy to assemble, fired up right away. Ran it only for 5 minutes, then shut it down. 2 months later we had a week long power outage, ran it every day 12+ hours a day, no issues. Have had intermittent outages since, very reliable so far. We run it through a manual transfer switch to the house panel, runs the entire house but we don't use the electric oven or dryer.

Great Features, dual fuel, and well designed

Hi, I just received the generator. Started right up on propane. Had a minor issue on gas and had to manually set the choke. Support center and live person was very helpful. Phone number right on the box. Had it started in 5 minutes. So far, very good product. FOB remote start works great.

Excellent Generator

This generator allows me to be ready for hurricane season without needing to worry about gasoline. The LP option allows us to use the propane tanks we have for our grill as well as the larger propane tanks for our RV to provide reliable power with none of the storage hazards with gasoline. We dont have to worry about gasoline "going bad" either.

Such a cool machine!

I bought the 9500DF generator in mid September after suffering from a few days with no power. This thing is a BEAST! Started right up after doing all the pre-start procedures for first time start. Being able to start it up from in the house with the key fob is priceless! I love it. I expect it will serve our family VERY well.

Great Features, Specs

Have only started on propane to test it. Started right up, I hope I never have to use it, but am glad to have it. I needed this size to run the "whole" house in an emergency, but wanted dual fuel capability so as to not have to keep gas in it for long periods of time.
