On Friday, July 9, 2022, I purchased the predator 9500 watt inverter generator to use as a home back up power source. On Saturday evening, while wiring a plug and service panel lockout on my house, the power went out. I hadn’t even got the generator unpacked. I unpacked the Predator, got it running, which was very easy to do, and made an emergency connection to my service panel. (Don’t do this if you are not experienced in electrical!). I made sure the service was disconnected from the utility company. I was able to run my central AC, fridge, two freezers, and satellite tv for five hours while we waited for power to be restored. No problem at all! This generator works great as an emergency backup, but is not designed to run everything in a house at once. Only use it to power necessary items. And get the big Predator with an inverter. Delicate electronics are more likely to be damaged if you use a generator without an inverter. Great price for this size inverter generator and purchased just in time! Worked great. It’s new, so I can’t comment on durability. Time will tell. I went back out after two weeks, hit “start” and it was running immediately! Looks like I made a good purchase. Went back and got another one for my sister’s house. Total cost for generator and electrical connections to house ran me about 20 percent of the price I was quoted for a stand by generator. I can crank up a generator and flip two switches when I need it for that kind of savings.
