This 9500 dual fuel is as expected. Delivered to the door. Box was a bit rough but everything was there and in good shape. Easy to assemble. Oil was included. Used a funnel to add fuel. A few cranks to start and runs smoothly. Only tried 110 so far, still in break-in period. Happy with the purchase.
I am a retired woman living in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California where we get snow & loss of electricity at least once every winter and recently with rolling electrical blackouts in the summer. I needed a generator that could run on propane, be simple to start on my own, and run essential electric appliances and lights. This generator meets all my requirements completely!
I bought this at the end of 2021 as a propane backup generator for portions of my house.
I hired an electrician to complete the electrical work to connect to the backup panel and he was so impressed with the quality and versatility he wants to order one as well. My impression of build quality is top notch. It is a little louder than I would prefer but anything this powerful is going to through off some sound. It is perfect as a backup. I like the flexibility of its portable size but I would not recommend for camping except to top off other portable batteries to power your cabin or tent setup.
I bought this a few weeks ago and I am so happy I did, we had a major storm they knocked power out for a few days. Ran extension cords to my 2 fridges and my neighbors fridge. Also, set up the home router and TV so the kids can keep streaming.
