1st Time generator user

Easy setup, it started right up and runs great. Only purchased for emergency situations so I haven't run it with a load on it. From what I've seen from reviews I'm sure it will handle everything I will need it for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does a great job

I previously purchased the Igen 4500 about 4 years ago and it was a great purchase. I used it for refrigerator and freezer after being hit by a tornado. I purchased the 9500 to run my house with a 50 amp breaker, and sure I will have to turn off large wattage things but no cords running through out my house.

Good Generator: Some Problems
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: Editor
from Ormond Beach, FL
It's basically a good generator, but came with some problems. It was a brand new generator out of the box. The 4-stroke engine ran fine, but there was no power coming out of the 120V AC outlets. It did not matter what 120v appliance/device you plugged into the outlets.
The main breaker was not tripped. The individual circuit breakers at the outlets were not popped out. I turned the whole generator on and off a few times without any attached load but there was no change. I even pressed the red button on the side of the outlet case with the possibility that this is a reset. No change. The display on the Data Center said it was producing 242 volts at a frequency of 62 hertz. [This indicates it still had it's residual electromagnetic field.)
Basically, the Data Center showed the generator was producing voltage, but that voltage was not reaching the outlets.

After more investigation, I found the cause of the problem. Both 120V GFI outlets came tripped from the factory. I reset them and got 120V across the hot & neutral on all four outlets now. I also got 120V from each hot to neutral on the 30A & 50A outlets.
Hopefully, this review might help someone else who encounters this problem.

Perfect generator for my needs

Just received generator. I did a 4 hour break in with 2 oil changes. Hooked it up to my transfer switch and was able to run everything in my home (not all together of course). Would recommend this generator for anyone looking to do this same thing.
