We bought this after the dams failed in our area. My neighbors have one similar to the 9500. I was very impressed with the remote start option. Now my wife can start it from inside the house. We're going to get the box wired for the 50amp service plug.
Hurricane season is coming up and did not want to be looking for a generator at the last moment. Considered Generac system but couldn't justify the expense for something that will rarely be used (hopefully never!). This generator combined with a transfer switch added by an electrician should do the job if the power goes out for a lot less money!
