I bought this product November 2nd and was told that delivery would be early December. To my delighted surprise, I received delivery November 17th. Delivery was complete with no missing parts. Instruction manual as easy to follow. Assembly was minimal ....... two wheels and two leg supports. Set up was easy and straight forward with no questions. I'll be using this generator with a transfer switch connecting to my electrical panel. The push button start is definitely a tremendous feature. This generator is ideal for my situation and am very satisfied with my decision to purchase it over other generators I was considering.
I just received the 9500 Dual Fuel generator. It was easy to put on the wheels, add oil and get it ready to run. I put a little gasoline in the tank and also hooked it up to propane and it started after about three cycles on propane with the electric start. I let it run on propane for a few minutes and then tried to switch over to gasoline. It would not start on gas initially but I had only put a little gas in the tank so I added more to the tank and then it started on gasoline. I suspect that I did not have enough gas in the tank initially. Have been running it to break in and it runs well with no issues. It is a little loud but what I expected from a portable generator. I have been breaking it in mostly on propane and it starts easily. I like the handle on the generator which makes it easy to move. Overall very pleased with initial experience and look forward to running it as a home back-up when I have a transfer switch installed.
We really like the features it offers. We can use it at home or on our lot with the camper with the 50 amp plug in. We really like the dual fuel feature, if we run out gas we can always use propane. We would recommend to a friend.
Upside: Easy set up and simple operating. Powers my entire house include AC units. Downside: Wheels are plastic, not durable and poor placement of 50amp plug which is hard to access with a 90 degree 50 amp cord plug. get a straight in line plug for better fit
