I was actually amazed how easy and fast the the setup was. It started up on the first try and delivered the power as expected according to the specs. My most difficult part was determining the appropriate oil amount to be added. As I further examined the manual I did see the oil tank size was 1.6 quarts and oil container provided was also 1.6 quarts. So it didn't take a rocket scientist to know the entire oil container should be used. I'm 86 yrs old and un crated the 200 lb generator myself and also attached the wheels etc. I have only used propane so far and don't know if I'll ever use gasoline. I did evaluate other generators and am glad I selected the 9500DF.

Love this generator much more than the one I owned previously. It hooks up so easily and has the power to spare. Love the auto remote start and stop feature and the ability to switch fuel sources. I'd recommend this model to anyone!
I bought this a little over a month ago, and it seems to be up to the task for everything I have asked of it so far. I haven't hooked it up to major appliances yet, but I have used it to power multiple power tools and compressors and it seems to work great. It does seem to start easier when using propane, rather than gas, but that could just be my generator. It runs well on both. The only concern I have is whether or not the plastic wheels will hold up in the long run. Time will tell on that.
