Great Unit

I purchased about a month ago. Generator arrived in good condition, and unpacking and getting ready to use was well instructed, but a bit more time consuming than I had thought it would be. Only "semi-complaint" is the unit is very loud. It would get a five star from me if the muffler system made the unit a bit more quiet.

Bigger than advertised

Great generator and I've owned several over years. Very much leaning toward it being much stronger than 6500 it's more like an 8500.... Also idk what they're talking about 10.5hrs on a tank I powered my home 19.5hrs on same tank of gas during a several days outage.

First impression, this is heavy and more than I ne

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generac 9500 is nice. However it is heavy, like 265 lbs. I thought I would be able to use it more but not a lot of opportunity at this point. It stays tucked in the garage. It does make some noise but not as load as my old air compressor. Overall I think it is a good product I just don't have a lot of use for it. I requested it to see if this app would sent me something that big. Knowing Influenster will I will be more targeted in the future. Initial impressions on the 9500 are great. That being said I am not a hard use.

I like everything about it.

I've only had the opportunity to use the generator a couple of times but it does everything I could ask. This unit actually has enough power to run essentials for myself and my neighbor. He's got the snow thrower and I've got the generator.

Excellent product

I haven't had to use it yet. I've started it a few times since it was delivered and am very pleased. The electric start works well. It is easy to start with the cord too. I hope I don't need it this winter, but have it if I do.

Piece of mind

I bought the generator a couple of months ago to prepare for any power outage and haven't had to use it yet. It's great knowing we are prepared for an issue that WILL occur.

Rural Essential !

Living rural, having back up power sources are a must. It's an investment in the tools that helps forced, rustic living tolerable. Consider the top 3 best pieces of equipment and get learned about them. I know you will choose Generac also.

Clean easy panels, quality outlets

I put a meter on the outputs and ran different test loads. The generator voltage dip was minimal. Fast recovery. Pretty consistent voltage and current output. Very happy with this generator.
