    • Good performance and value
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I had to order the high altitude kit and installed it before using. Easy set up other than that. Good performance and value for the price. It came with oil and the battery was charged and it started up right away. Don't know about long term performance, but everything about it seems good quality and a solid build. ... show more

    • Great generator
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I purchased this generator to power the majority of my home during an emergency. I haven't tried HVAC yet, but it will run everything else. It came well packaged with no damage to the box. The instructions are straightforward and easy to understand. After fueling the unit and turning the fuel cock to "open", I let it sit about a minute before starting. It fired up immediately. I ran the unit for about 6 hours with varied leads to break it in properly, then ran it out of fuel to avoid having stale fuel later on. I haven't tried the LP fuel connection yet. It seems to be a quality item, well built, and equipped; particularly at the price point. ... show more

    • Good product for emergency power
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Great packaging. No dents or blemishes in paint. Easy assembly. Started without any issues. Haven't used it for any emergency outages and hopefully won't have to. Used with gasoline and propane. Swap over was easy. Very sturdy construction.

Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Well, I finally went to put it together. but I am missing the 4 flange bolt M8. So I will call the service team for them. And, do another post. But, it looks pretty and clean. Have not used yet. So, once I do I will do another post. Excited to have just in case, trying to be prepared.

    • Great genny, if you need one definitely look at this one.
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
So far so good. Started right up, runs great. The remote is awesome and the logic to keep trying a restart is even better. Extra bonus of the battery charger that can stay plugged in. This came with everything to get moving, it was the best package I've opened from Amazon in over a decade. The operating manual is something from 20 years ago; all the information you need, good tips and plenty of explanations you just don't get any longer. Seems like a great genny, hopefully the long run will prove me correct. ... show more

Arrived early with no damage. Very easy set-up. Everything you need is included with unit, Total set-up time about 30 minutes. Fired up easily no problems. Unit build is very solid, but moves easily. Very impressed with quality and price. This is a replacement for an older generator.

    • Lots of Power and easy to use
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
OK, the 9500 (gas only) at 200 lbs is heavy, (but then, no more than the 14 y/o 7700 QueenBee it replaced). Wheels were a tad tricky to install, but only a minor issue. Once on and upright it's easy to move and maneuver. I connected the battery (just a plug connection, not having to wire the battery as the instructions indicated), added the oil provided, and gas, then ran it for a few hours to break it in, then shut it down, refilled the gas tank and hooked up the battery charger, and put the cover on to wait for when it might be needed. This morning I awoke to power and cable outage, so I cleared the main breaker, turned on the generator (the cover had blown off during the night), made sure the gas-cock was "on", set the choke and hit the start button. It turned over, but failed to start, and after a couple seconds, shut off.. then much to my surprise, tried starting again, and failed again, then tried again... twice more, and she fired up! That repeat attempt thing I wasn't expecting. After a few seconds it settled down, choke automatically reset, so I hooked up the 30amp pig-tail, closed the feed breaker to the house, and then closed the breaker on the generator. Voila.. I've been running on the generator for a couple hours now, was able to fix a breve' and bring up the computers. Internet cable was also out, so I fired up my cellular internet 'hot spot' and connected that way - checked power and cable outage websites and repair status. As suspected, there's a tree down somewhere in my neighborhood - crew on-site, estimated repair time in another couple hours. No problem, full tank of gas should cover that easily. Unit is surprisingly quiet (much more so than the old one), which I'm sure the neighbors appreciated at 05:30 AM. Only niggly is that the unit runs at about 63 hertz (cycles per second) so your electric clocks, which time off the expected frequency of 60 hz will gain a few minutes an hour. (Freq is adjustable with a screw above the carburetor .) As I typed this, I noticed internet cable just came back, so maybe the crews are done and power is back already. If so, great - this was a good "test-outage" and I'm quite pleased with the results. In summary, easy to set up, and easy to use, and it does the job - runs my entire 2400 sf house (including electric baseboard heaters). Life is good. Off to see if power is also back, and I can put the generator "back to bed" now.. ------------------ UPDATE: 11/23/24 - Lost commercial power 4 days ago ("Bomb cyclone" hit and just trashed the area), fired up the generator, and it has been running continuously now ever since. I have a battery-powered Deway siphon pump (available on Amazon) with hose that transfers gas from the gas cans directly into the generator tank without spillage, so I don't have to shut down the generator to refuel it. Power company thinks it will have power back in a couple more days (we'll see, they said that two days ago too), meanwhile I've got six 5-gallon gas cans, each one providing around 9 hours of run time. They've been refilled once already (once I found an open gas station), looks like I'll be making a run to fill them up again this afternoon, which should get me through until we get power back "in a couple days". OK, if so I'll burn @ $300 in gas over the week without commercial power but with two refrigerator/freezers full, the food I won't have to throw away is worth quite a bit more than that. Pro-Tip: If power has been off for awhile, and you have electric baseboard heaters, water heater, refrigerators, etc. it may be necessary to turn off the breakers to the heaters when first connecting to the generator until the refrigerator and water heater reach operating temp, and then bring on one bank of heaters at a time to avoid overloading the generator if everything powers up at the same time. I have a wood-stove insert in the fireplace w/fan that heats the main part of the house, so I could just leave the baseboard heater banks off when I had a smaller-output generator. And VERY IMPORTANT - use fresh gas, and stabilize any gas that will sit for awhile in gas cans or the generator. When shutting down, turn off the gas cock and let the unit run until the generator stalls to empty the carburetor, for non-use "storage". Warranty won't cover a gummed-up carburetor. Meanwhile the 9500 just keeps chugging along - pretty quiet, keeping us warm and comfortable. This is a good unit. ... show more
