Bought this by Thanksgiving and ended up using it right around February. I was nervous since I didn’t open it up and didn’t run it yet that I was gonna have issues. I ended up doing two oil changes before putting in full synthetic but no issues with it Yeah.
Purchased in January. Very easy to assemble and prep. Started right up. Loved the feature where the choke automatically shuts itself off when the unit starts. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but we're just getting into the bad weather part of the year here in north Louisiana. I feel like my family is prepared if we lose power.
I purchased the 9500DF for it's exceptional features after making several comparisons to similar products. Unpacking and minor assembly were both a breeze thanks to the enclosed quick start up guide. The remote start key fob was one of the main selling points as well. Follow the instructions in quick start guide, and you'll have your generator running in less than 30 minutes.
I bought this recently and have tried it once so far. At this size, it runs my newer house. Have not tried the propane fuel yet. Will come back in 6 months and update.
