After spending so much time reading reviews and watching you tube videos regarding this powerful beast generator, I finally made a decision to purchase this well built beast. I just received my portable generator today, opened and set it up. I was surprised with just one push of the button it started immediately. I also tried it with the key fob and it worked fantastic. I was able to maneuver it around with no difficulty. noise level is very tolerable. I am now very ready to use it when calamity arises specially here in Texas.
I bought this generator to back up my home during power outages since I live in a hurricane prone state. The advantages of having a dual generator are amazing. This Gen has all the features I wanted on my other generators. Has fuel gage and data center. Also it is very simple to set up and maintenance is a breeze. It’s heavy duty and well engineered.
Out of the box seems very solid and very well made

I just purchased it so I have not yet had an opportunity to use it during a power outage but the generator started right up in both gas and propane mode. It is heavy but very solidly built. When running it, it was actually a bit quieter than I expected for its size and capacity. I would have to agree with a number of other reviews that I previously read that the plastic wheels might need to eventually be replaced. So far I am very impressed.
This generator has all the bells and whistles you would need. With the dual fuel fixture I will be able to run my house 24 hours a day, I will run gasoline during the day and switch to propane for the night. I had a transfer switch and lockout installed by a electrician.
Assembled this 9500DF generator today. The user manual was the best by far that I've seen in more than 20 years. Everything that was to be in the shipment was there. Easily assembled following the very clear instructions. Using the key fob it started on the second cycle (needed to get gasoline in the carburetor). Starts 1st cycle in every subsequent start. Haven't tried propane yet, but expect it to go as well. Excellent product and a happy customer.
I picked this up from a damaged goods auction. It only had cosmetic damage. I tried pull starting it without much luck. I hooked up the battery it fire right up. Have only run it a few hours so time will tell how well it holds up.
