Pros
- Runs on gasoline or propane, with the hose included
- Push-button start
- Runs up to 14 hours on gas, or almost a day on a 20 lb propane tank
- RV plug built in, plus wheels and a handle
Cons
- About 100 lb, so lifting it takes two people
- No 240V outlet, so it can’t feed a typical home transfer switch
- Costs more on Amazon than the gas-only remote-start version
