After extensive research and an electricians advice, decided to go with the dual fuel. So far we've dodged several storms, but just in case, we're ready. Runs great....

I'm very happy with my generator, arrived in good condition, with all manuals and accessories.
To remove the generator, I cut along the bottom of the box on all 4 sides and lifted straight up.
After connecting the two halves of the battery cables together, adding oil and the propane cable to the tank, it was ready to start.
Turn the knob to propane, engine control switch to run and used the remote start (already programmed). It started on the 2nd attempt. Let it run for 5 min and turned off the propane as recommended. My electrician commented it wasn't as loud as he expected. Not very noticeable from inside my house either.
When I tried to connect the 50 amp cable I purchased separately (Conntek 15306), this was problematic since the elbow connector was blocked by the wheel. I uploaded a photo showing the issue. I was forced to prop up the frame on a modified 2x4 and remove the wheel. With the cable connected to the generator, I connected the other end to my home power inlet. Started up the generator, turned on the main breaker and turned all the switches on my transfer switch from utility to generator. Forgot to mention I also needed to connect a ground cable to the frame which was recommended by my electrican.
The 9500DF powered 10 circuits with power to spare. I was instructed to be careful running more than two appliances at the same time and watch the meter on my transfer switch to ensure both sides (5+5) were somewhat balanced.
Other than the the issue with the wheel, which can probably be avoided by choosing a different type of cable connector, this is a 5 star product that I can rely on in an emergency.
I would recommend getting a 2 stage propane regulator cable so you can swap out the empty tank without turning off the generator.
