Pros
  • Honda V-twin engine built for heavy daily use
  • L14-50R and L14-30R outlets connect to 50 A or 30 A transfer switches
  • Tight voltage regulation suits sensitive tools and electronics
  • Every outlet GFCI protected, so it meets OSHA job-site rules
  • Electric start, and shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up
Cons
  • Very expensive: several times the price per watt of consumer generators
  • Over 400 lb, so it is hard to move without a truck or lift

  • Not sold in California
