Works for what we needed..

We purchased this generator due to a severe thunder storm which the winds took out a utility pole and knock power out to our neighborhood. We connected it our electrical panel and turned on circuits that we need to have back on. This unit actually allowed us to run about 90% of our home.
Generator runs great, the remote start feature is incredibly handy! Comes with a charger to ensure your battery is maintained and charged for when you need it most. Assembly was easy and I was up and running within half hour!
Bought the generator on the 16th of May and it was here on the 20th. It was simple to assemble the needed components, add oil and gas and it started right up and powered the items I bought it to power with lots of watts to spare. I searched a long time and this Machine is the best bang for the buck in the 9500 to 12000 class.
So far so good. Have only got thru the 5 hour break in period so far. Hooked up to my house through a 50a inlet box with an Interlock kit in the main box. Ran the whole house on Propane including the 4-ton AC in a short test run. My furnace did show a error code, but continued to run. Fingers crossed there. The remote start is a neat feature, 200lbs isn't terrible, dual fuel is great! Hope to never run it on Gas. I hope to update later after YEARS of use.
This is a clearly a high quality generator. Easy to follow instructions to get the wheels on and set up and running. Super easy to start - I am impressed. Haven't had to rely on it for power yet, but I am confident it will be ready when I need it most.
