We recently had our first power outage since we got a dual fuel 3700/4200 generator. Turns out it wasn't big enough to run the well pump when the fridge started up. This 7500/9500 generator is about twice the power as that other one. My Wife was scrolling through a generator search and the remote start fob caught her eye. After doing some research I determined that it had what we needed plus the automatic choke control and remote start. This was a pricey investment but after being inconvenienced and disappointing we decided to up our game. This is just one step down from the big auto start units that run even if you are away from home. We don't need power while we sleep... Since then I have twice gone out to the garage and turned on the switch before a storm was predicted so we could start it from the comfort of the house. Give it a couple minutes to warm up, then switch the interlock and feed the house safely. And not even put on my boots!
Easy to follow instructions. Couldn’t be any simpler. Excellent quality. I’m using this as a back up home generator with an interlock system on my main panel. Should power 75% of my house or more. Easy to maneuver around. Doesn’t take up much space in my garage. The only thing that I didn’t like was the little funnel that came with it. Really wasn’t that convenient. I used my own funnel to put oil in. Pretty heavy too. Make sure you have help getting it out of your car or truck.
Just arrived and well built, heavy duty, and easy to transport with the wheels and extendable handle. Great output and the remote starter is a cool bonus feature.
Bought this because the power was projected to be out for a week. It worked fine for powering our 2 refrigerators, freezer, television and other electric things in our home. My neighbor connected his refrigerator and freezer as well. This thing worked without a problem. We now have power back and I'm very happy for that. We now have a generator for the next time.
