This generator is amazing. It has its own battery charger and I keep it plugged in all the time. It can use gas or propane. I like using propane. It's cheaper, cleaner, and so easy to tell when I'm low on propane. I always keep an extra bottle of propane handy, and have never run out. It also has a remote starter and I use it all the time. This is a great product!!!

I decided to go with this unit after reading all the positive reviews from already satisfied owners. I wanted a generator large enough to power my house in case of a. Power outage. After building our house 20 plus years ago we’ve had a couple of water damage occurrences in our basement from sump pumps not running. We can’t afford to be without power for more than a couple of hours without having water backups in our basement. This is a great peace of mind knowing that a start of this generator and flip of the switch and I. Have enough power to run my sump pumps, freezers, well pump, etc.

We purchased the 9500DF last year. We have been able to use this through both construction projects and weather events. Then we recently added the bypass plug on the house and it's Getting the job done for whole house electricity in our 1800 sqft. space.

After purchase I put in oil, connected propane, paired key fob and started it. Fired fight up with no "priming" like with a Onan. Applied a load and everything worked perfectly. Now I feel more prepared for the bad weather in Mississippi that results in power failures.

Generator was just as expected except one item: the display does not provide measurement of power output. It displays only voltage, frequency and hours. A Watt Meter would be useful to avoid overloading generator and ensuring load is balanced. I will need to purchase Watt meter separately. This aside, this seems like a very good generator, with enough power to live comfortably during our next power outage.

I just received my generator a few days ago and assembled it today. The instruction manual was easy to read and understand with plenty of details. I was able to assemble it by myself without assistance though it is quite heavy. It has a lot of features...especially the 50 amp output which I am connecting to my house (electrician is really). It definitely is a heavy duty unit!

Bought it a while back, but finally had the electrician come out to install the transfer switch. He took one look and awed at the unit. State of the art, well built, and lots of power. Cranks up right way and is not too noisy. I’m getting a 5 ft lpg tank to go with it, and I’m good to go for a while. Highly recommend this one, and it’s a brand you can trust.

First of all I’m so happy with the size of this generator how small it is and everything is compacted into this powerful machine . easy to assemble great rubber covers for the outlets. the handle couldn’t be any sweeter to have as it collapses making it easy to store away. This was an easy set up and I’m already thinking of the smart switch ST transfer for future purchase thank you so much for the prompt delivery and professionalism

I bought this generator for backup power as we move into our hurricane season. What little assembly was required was very simple and the product, so far, has been everything I hoped for. it is simple to use and will provide all of the power I will need.

Well packaged and started up fast and ran good. Only issue right out of the box is a faulty wire plug for the electric start. The black wire will not stay in the plug, it vibrates out when running. . No big deal breaker and a cheap warranty fix for them. I need to call customer service and see how good the service is right of the bat.
