Save Fuel & Run Longer

The super efficient Cummins OHV 4-Stroke engine is a masterpiece of engineering. Save fuel and run your generator for longer. At 25% load, the P9500df gets 16 hours of run time using gasoline and 8 hours using propane. While the P4500iDF runs for up to 15 hours.

Dual Fuel Advantage

The dual-fuel setup of the P9500df and the P4500iDF gives you a major advantage in an emergency. Propane (LPG) has a much longer shelf life than gasoline which means you can store it so you’re always prepared. Run it on propane or gas with the flip of a switch. 

Remote Start

Turn on your Onan portable generator from 100 yards away with the included remote starter and get instant power, wherever you are. Or use the push button or backup pull cord.

9500 works well, quiet too

the 9500 watt dual fuel generator with a remote start made by Cummins Onan is dual fuel it's a very well put together machine. I originally wanted 50 amps but 30 amps is enough for a house of my size which is around 2000 square feet maybe a little bit more if you include the basement. I have to choose a bit about what we're using when the 9500 watts is going because you can use that up pretty fast. I like the dual fuel so I can run it with this propane tank. The adapter does come with the machine as well. Gas obviously lasts you longer but it's really nice to have this propane backup and it's just a matter of toggling this switch back and forth. Quieter than many other generators I've used so that's a plus too. Auto start is just one push!

happy with this generator

Ordered the genny about a month ago. Fast shipping and showed up with no damage. I have put almost 300 hrs on it already. Have had no problems. The remote start is AWESOME. So is the low fuel consumption. I usually run my window ac a small fan a 700 watt microwave and a mr coffee very basic coffee pot. All total about 2700 watts with everything going and it runs great in eco mode. Just the window ac on it runs from 17-19 hrs on a full tank. Big upgraded from my hybrid champion. I do recommend before you add oil the first time- take the drain bolt to your local hose supplier and get a 15” long drain hose made that can be left attached to the block cause the bolt and space to reinstall it. Otherwise can bit a bit of a hassle. Other than that i can have it right under the front of my fifth wheel and don't hear anything. I will buy another for the house in a couple months.

p4500i is good, but not perfect

Giving this 5 stars because it does what it says it does. I've run it a total of 28 hours so far and have run it at a sustained 30 minutes 3730 watts which is the full 30+ amps. The revolving display is a good feature but it says the tank is empty eventhough it still has over a quart in it. Not the biggest deal. The auto choke works, (I've seen other people complain about this). When I turn it off by running it out of fuel, it immediately starts on the auto-start second attempt, otherwise it will start the first time. The remote is a plus. Very portable. The wheels are big enough to move easy and not dig in the dirt. It is a lightweight compare it to other generators with these watts and features. One consumer complaint is the oil change. I use a ratchet box wrench 10mm with the adjustable head. Doesn't seem all that hard to me but is a little messy and I've never seen an oil change that wasn't a little messy. And here's my nit picking. Changing the carburetor jet every time I change elevation is impractical. It needs to be EFI. It is not as quiet as I hoped under full load (3700 watts) it quiets down quite a bit at 2500 watts. The engine at 1500 watts in the ECO mode, will slow down and is very quiet. It needs a better muffler for full load applications. Other than those two complaints it is a excellent inverter generator. I have no complaints about Lakehoue & Cottage. Everything went as I expected. I'll give them 5 stars also.

CHAMP

Bought this generator to camp inside the Daytona International Speedway. Ran it for 3 days straight to power the camper and AC in the 100 degree heat! Ran like a champ. No problems. Very happy with this for the first time out. I hope it works just as good moving forward. It's pretty quiet too. Everybody else's generators were loud and screaming over this one.
