Pros
  • Runs about a day on a full tank at light load, so overnight outages need no refueling
  • A 50 A outlet and 240 V output can feed a home transfer switch or a 50 A RV
  • Shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up
  • Starts from a key fob, and a battery tender keeps the starter battery ready
  • Five-year warranty is longer than most rivals offer
Cons
  • At over 200 lb it needs its wheel kit and two people to lift
  • Not CARB certified, so it cannot be sold new in California
  • No USB ports or app monitoring
