Pros
  • RV plug built in, so it plugs straight into a 30 A camper
  • Runs on gasoline or propane out of the box, with the hose included
  • Compact and light for its output, at about 52 lb
  • Shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up
Cons
  • Recoil start only, no push-button
  • Small tank for its output, so it needs refueling sooner than bigger-tank rivals
  • Louder than the 2500W models, so it may bother neighbors at a campsite
  • No wheels; it is carried by the handle
