A small dual-fuel generator with remote start for an RV or for a fridge, lights and a sump pump in an outage. Worth the step up from the pull-start WGen3600DFcv if you want to start it from indoors.

Pros
- Runs on gasoline or propane, and switches fuels without shutting down
- Starts with a push button or the included remote key fob
- TT-30R and L5-30R plugs take an RV or travel trailer cord directly
- Shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up nearby
Cons
- No 240 V outlet, so it cannot feed a house transfer switch for a well pump
- Around 120 lb, heavy for its output
- Not CARB compliant, so it cannot be sold in California
