Pros
  • Runs on natural gas from the house line, so it never needs refueling in a long outage
  • 14-50R and L14-30R outlets, so it feeds a 50 A transfer switch or an RV
  • Starts from a remote, and shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up
  • Five-year warranty, longer than most rivals
Cons
  • About 240 lb, so it needs flat ground to wheel around
  • Natural gas output drops to 9,000 W
  • Not CARB compliant, so California buyers need a different model
