- Runs on natural gas from the house line, so it never needs refueling in a long outage
- Two 50 A outlets, so it can feed a 50 A transfer switch and an RV at once
- Fuel injection starts more easily in the cold and needs no carburetor cleaning
- Sold in all 50 states, including California
- Five-year warranty, longer than most rivals
- Costs far more than carbureted generators of the same output
- No 30 A twist-lock outlet, so a 30 A transfer switch cord needs an adapter
- About 240 lb, so it needs flat ground to wheel around
