Well-Built Tri-Fuel Generator with Quality Components

This tri-fuel generator is well assembled with quality components and runs right out of the box after adding oil. It starts readily on a 30 lb propane bottle. Taking off the side panels reveals solid construction with nothing found wrong, suggesting long-term durability. The magnetic dipstick collects metal fragments during break-in, keeping particles out of the motor. Chosen for quality, low-cost replacement parts, and a 3-year warranty. The cover and magnetic dipstick were purchased separately.

Pros
  • + well put together with quality components
  • + works right out of the box after adding oil
  • + starts readily on propane
  • + solid construction with nothing wrong found
  • + expected to last a long time
  • + magnetic dipstick keeps metal particles out during break-in
  • + low cost replacement parts
  • + 3 year warranty

Powerful 13,000-Watt Generator With Tolerable Noise

This 13,000-watt generator is a powerful machine that runs well, with a tolerable sound level. It is on the heavy side and consumes a lot of gas. It is somewhat pricey, but the performance matches the cost. It successfully ran a Class A motorhome on 240V 50A with two air conditioning units on eco mode without any problems.

Pros
  • + powerful
  • + runs well
  • + tolerable sound level
  • + handles heavy loads
Cons
  • − heavy
  • − high fuel consumption
  • − somewhat pricey

Cannot Use 120V and 240V Simultaneously

The voltage selector only allows one output at a time, so 120-volt and 240-volt receptacles cannot be used together. This limitation is not clearly stated in the product description. The generator was purchased to run battery chargers on 240 volts and fans and small items on 120 volts in a drone trailer, but it cannot do both. Other generators from multiple brands do not function this way. The experience is disappointing and the information is considered misleading.

Cons
  • − Cannot use 120V and 240V receptacles simultaneously
  • − Voltage selector shuts off the unselected output
  • − Limitation not noted in product description

Strong value whole-house generator with minor grounding tweak

This tri-fuel generator powers a whole house including central AC, lights, TV, internet, and security with some power management on propane. It struggles with an oven and does not work well with a tankless electric water heater. The bonded ground required slight modification to create a floating neutral for an inlet box and panel interlock; standalone use now needs a bonding plug, verified with a multimeter. It runs quietly enough to be barely heard in nearby rooms under full load and is easy to move for its size. Overall, strong satisfaction for the cost.

Pros
  • + Runs whole house with power management on propane
  • + Quiet operation under full load
  • + Easy to move for a large unit
  • + Good value for the cost
Cons
  • − Struggles with oven load
  • − Not compatible with tankless electric water heater
  • − Requires grounding modification for floating neutral
  • − Needs bonding plug for standalone use

Powerful, Quiet Generator with Electric Start

This generator delivers strong power and runs noticeably quieter than a previous generator. The electric start reduces effort, with a pull-string backup if needed. Build quality is good for the price, and the appearance is sleek. Delivery took over a month, but that does not diminish the overall value.

Pros
  • + Strong power output
  • + Quieter than previous generator
  • + Electric start with pull-string backup
  • + Good price for the quality
  • + Sleek appearance
Cons
  • − Delivery took more than a month
