We live in a remote wooded area and experience power outages 2-3 times per year. I bought this portable generator to keep the refrigerators cold and provide heat during these outages. I set it up to provide power to several circuits using a sub-panel and manual transfer switch. I contacted customer service with a question on the generator connection and got a prompt answer. Within 2 weeks of getting the generator set up, we had a 3-day power outage. I ran the generator intermittingly during the outage on both propane and gasoline. Start-up and switching fuel was simple and easy. The generator worked flawlessly and kept us comfortable during the outage. I am very pleased with my purchase.
I bought this generator after the pounding Hurricane Sally gave us. It's a bit heavy and loud, but super easy to start. All I was looking for was was power and reliability. This generator seems to fit the bill.
I'm way past my pull start years and have upgraded my generator to this powerful model. This model gives this senior citizen comfort and security knowing it will power my house at the push of a button. Even from my couch with the remote fob!
I was impressed with the quality. Wish it was a little bit quieter, but all or most of the bigger generators are noisy. It seems to be very sturdy and well built. I was impressed with the quality bearings on the wheels. I like the electric remote starter and the user manual is well written with clear and easy to follow instructions. Just unpacked it tonight, put it together and started it up. So, I can't predict how it will perform yet, but if the sturdiness and quality parts are any indication, it should perform well. One complaint: the gas gauge doesn't appear to be very accurate.
Just bought this 9500, it fired right up with the key fob, tied it into my whole house transfer switch, it works great. its actually quieter then I thought it would be.
