I have an all electric house which needed 48 amps at 240 volt just for the heater. After compensating for loss for 5000 ft elevation, I decided that the 16k wasn't big enough, so I went with 2 9500's which are just right and I only need to use one of them in the summer for A\C. And I can use one around my 4 acre place for portable power since they are so much lighter.
Bought the 9500w inverter generator a few months ago and have already had to use it twice for power outages. Its power is perfect, not a single flash hum or flicker like from my old generator! Its so quiet we can hear the neighbors generator running over our own. Would recommend to anyone!
Have not started the generator yet. Just finished putting oil in. It will require tool(s) and standing on your head or laying on the ground to pre-flight check the engine oil. Why was such an essential check made so inconvenient? Dipstick is buried behind a wire or cable bundle that doesn't move out of the way to remove or install the dipstick - once you find it. Why not a dip stick tube with a flexible dispstick that extends out to the user? (My truck has a dipstick that's about 30" long that makes 2 direction changes before reaching the oil and is easy to use.)
I bought this about 18 months ago and used it on propane and gas. It starts up every time and gives me plenty of power. Hooked it up to my Generlink transfer switch and it couldn't be easier. Gets 8-10 hours on a grill sized tank.
