Good portable home generator

So far so good,, I've ran it with a 20lb propane tank but with no large load... a shop fan and a compressor. Hooked it up to my house with a Generlink 50A provided by the utility company, mounted behind my meter, saves purchasing a transfer switch, the Generlink is a transfer switch. Ran it on gasoline yesterday, individually it ran my 50 gal water heater, well pump, and my central AC unit, it is a smaller unit, home is only 1200 sq ft on a slab. Would not run my electric furnace, when the elements went to kick on it pulled the gen down too much. All the lights in my home worked fine, no flickering, even gave the TV, Sony sound bar, and my PS3 a shot, I was a little worried because of the high THD, no issues, I didn't try the electronics with the AC or any other large loads running. I still need to try running it on a 100lb propane tank that I purchased, not sure if it'll run the AC or not, It's only on a 30A circuit so it should, love the remote start option and the weight isn't terrible, I rolled it 100yds on a gravel driveway and probably won't load it in my truck by hand, I'll rig something in the roof of my shop to hoist it.

Picked this up a week ago. Very fast and easy to get up and running. Starts very easy with the push of a button and runs smooth. I'm ready for the next Derecho!

Great Features and a few concerns
on March 28, 2021

So I reviewed many Items and sites in an attempt to get a generator that would do it all. Many bonuses, including the Remote start and Dual fuel sold me. I waited a little while to add a review. One initial concern was that when running on generator My Tv and my work station would remain on Battery mode and not line mode. After reaching out, I was advised of the Info I needed to make needed adjustments. Issue was that the HTZ "Hertz" or maybe the THD was to High. I was able to Lower the Speed and change the HTZ and possibly the THD (No way for me to measure that output). Once I adjusted the HTZ from 63.5 to 61.0 the UPS Backup allowed power to charge and run the devices. I hope this helps others. If your needs do not exceed about 3800 Watts the more portable option with Low THD inverter they offer may be a better fit. I may also get that one to supplement my needs. Another thing is I used this a few Hours during the Texas FREEZE. It would not initially start. Pro Tip is that if temperature is very cold maybe 0 to 25F etc you may need to pre-warm Generator so that Fuel will ignite and oil will Flow. I used a small propane heater. Last tip. Be sure to use Four people to lift or a mechanical lift. I am still trying to overcome the pain from lifting the over 300 pounds. All being said I think this Generator will serve me well for many years ahead.

Just bought it. Everything looks like it should. It started up on second try with propane and runs flawlessly so far.
