Balance of features and power

We bought this to power our home and guest house during an emergency. We looked at large (15kw) whole home systems, but couldn't justify those at 10X the cost of this 9500kw unit. We have a deep well pump and our guest house has electric heat and this can run both houses plus the well. I manually switch the two electric hot water heaters on at night when other high draw devices are not running, but otherwise every breaker is on and this just handles it. The set up of the machine was easy, although there was more play than I would liked to see on the shaft supporting the wheels so I added a second washer next to the cotter pin to reduce wear. The only thing that jumped out at me as odd were during the setup and initial operation. Their user manual is really complete and quite good but it omits a few basic things. It's fairly obvious to anyone mechanically inclined that they drained the oil prior to shipment, but the manual doesn't get to adding oil until page 18, and further seems to omit the oil capacity. The included 1qt oil is the correct capacity (actually it was not quite enough as 1qt only got it just barely above the Fill line). I liked that the manual spells out that synthetic 5w-30 is ok. Even though I didn't need it, the Spanish part of the manual didn't seem to have page numbers.

First Impression

Fast delivery. I order the generator Friday at dinner and it was delivery by that following Monday by 9:00 a.m.
I hooked the generator up to a propane bottle and it fired right up. Time will tell once I have it hooked up to the house.

Nice quality generator but one of the axel hole brackets were bent and had to hire a welder heat and bend back into shape before the axel bolt could be installed !

Started Right Up

I put oil in this generator today, connected the battery terminals, hooked up the propane tank hose and started it up. I don't plan to use it with gasoline unless absolutely necessary. Propane will store long term without concern for breakdown and deterioration unlike gasoline. But I like having the option to run on either in the case of several days without power. I also like the power output potential of this generator. I can use it to run my AC Welding machine with small electrodes.
