I purchased this unit as a portable backup generator for my house. Just finished installing it. Nice unit. Minor quality issue however. I was unable to fully attach the feet to the unit due to a misalignment of the nut welded onto the frame. Not a major issue, just annoying. It fired up right away. I especially like the remote start feature. Can't say that I'm looking forward to using it because that means we have a power outage. Looking forward to using it for remote outdoor events.

Assembly was pretty easy. Oil provided was not enough to come up to proper level. Added & got to proper level. Not totally sure about bounded Nuetral but disconnected because I am using cord (14-30R), per instructions. Initial start hesitated due to battery not being fully charged. Once plugged charger in, started right up. Let it warm up then plugged in garage air compressor to put under load on each plug. Sounds quieter than expected and believe this is a good quality purchase.

I purchased this in light of power outages due to hurricanes and severe storms. Bought it after hurricane Beryl and it is Hot here in Texas. This machine has good reviews and a lot of features. Looking forward to seeing it in action. It is a great looking machine!! I pick this one for the dual fuel and power.

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.

Just set up my generator from Lowe's, the wheels were somewhat easy to install, but you need two people. We found that laying it on its side helped but the cotter pins were a little difficult. Battery charged quickly. I had it ready for a storm but we didn't loose power. The controls and manual are easy to follow. Waiting for an electrician to connect it to my circuit breakers, he said the key fob start will be a great feature.

I bought this generator primarily in the event of a power failure at the house. It has enough power to run all the things I don't want to be without during a power failure such as the furnace, refrigerator, T.V.'s, lights, modem, router, and computer. I look at it like an insurance policy just in case.

A connector wasn’t pushed completely IN and the engine was unable to start. It was cranking but never starting. One of my friend had the exact same problem with the exact same model out of the box. After plugging the connector, it fired up at the first attempt. Quality seems good, just need a better inspection from the factory. Other that the unit looks great and working perfectly

Very easy to assemble with clear and precise instructions on assembly as well as operational, safety and maintenance care. Love the fact that you have so many options to fuel power. Purchased this to replace 2 smaller generators and am very happy so far!

9500DF is the perfect solution as a power backup for my remote home. I live in a remote area at a higher altitude, which experiences power failures during winter months. This generator gives me the confidence and security that I can keep my home warm and powered during these times. The dual-fuel option is an added bonus, as I have both available.

We lose power a lot and I need the generator to maintain power as I have medical conditions that require the use of breathing machines. .This generator should work very nicely and we are having an electricition hook up a transfer switch to make it even easier.
