Works well until problems arise and support is unresponsive

This dual fuel inverter generator is quiet for its size and the dual fuel setup is convenient, making it suitable for RV and backup power. However, after running an RV overnight, it began surging and then would not start on gasoline. It briefly ran on propane before that also stopped working. Basic troubleshooting did not resolve the issue, which appears to be a no-spark problem. Emails to support went unanswered over a couple of months, undermining the 3-year warranty. It is hard to recommend for RV backup or emergency power when support is unresponsive.

Pros
  • + quiet for its size
  • + dual fuel setup is nice
  • + checks many boxes on paper
Cons
  • − started surging after overnight RV use
  • − would not start on gasoline after shutdown
  • − propane stopped working
  • − appears to have a no-spark issue
  • − support did not respond to emails
  • − 3-year warranty undermined by lack of support

Dual-fuel generator runs 12 hours on propane for RV use

This dual-fuel inverter generator provides ample power for RV needs and can run on either gasoline or propane. On a standard propane bottle, it runs for approximately 12 hours, which is convenient for extended use. The electric start simplifies operation, and the controls are clearly labeled and straightforward. Though substantial in size, the built-in wheels and handle make it easier to move. It fits on the cargo carrier at the back of a fifth wheel and can be kept covered and strapped down while traveling. It feels sturdy, dependable, and well made.

Pros
  • + ample power
  • + dual fuel flexibility
  • + 12-hour runtime on propane
  • + electric start
  • + clearly labeled controls
  • + built-in wheels and handle
  • + sturdy and well made

Runs Two 15,000 BTU A/Cs on Propane

This dual fuel generator ran two 15,000 BTU air conditioners, a stove exhaust fan, and most lights while connected via a 50 amp cord and running on propane. It was quiet from about 25 feet, especially in eco mode, and electric start allowed walking away during startup. It is smaller than typical 50 amp generators but did not fit in an under-pass storage compartment because the bottom stabilizers caught on vinyl insulation, so it had to be carried in a truck bed. Overall very satisfied, and quieter than a much more expensive Honda generator seen at a campground.

Pros
  • + Runs two 15,000 BTU A/Cs on propane
  • + Quiet from 25 feet, especially in eco mode
  • + Easy electric start with walk-away capability
  • + Smaller than 50 amp generators
  • + Less expensive than a Honda generator
Cons
  • − Did not fit in under-pass storage due to stabilizers catching on vinyl insulation
  • − Heavy to lift into a truck bed

Easy Setup and Reliable Power for Appliances

This dual fuel generator is easy to set up and start, with both electric start and a pull rope that works smoothly. It powers a fridge and freezer without issue and includes an outlet for charging a cell phone. It offers an RV plug plus 220 and 115 outlets, though only two 115 outlets are included, and four would have been preferred. Delivery was fast, arriving two days after ordering. Overall, a highly recommended unit.

Pros
  • + easy setup and starting
  • + handles fridge and freezer
  • + electric start and easy pull rope
  • + includes cell phone charging outlet
  • + RV plug and 220/115 outlets
  • + fast delivery

Reliable Dual Fuel Generator for Daily Power Needs

This generator has run daily on propane for a year, including through winter, to charge power stations. It is quiet enough for a small town, and the wheels and long handle make it movable. It shut off when a cord overheated while charging two power stations at once; resetting the button and unplugging one unit resolved it. It runs a washing machine but not a dryer. Regular oil changes and air filter checks are advised, especially on dusty ground. Customer service was helpful. Insurance coverage is suggested for heavy use.

Pros
  • + Runs daily on propane for a year
  • + Quiet operation
  • + Movable with wheels and long handle
  • + Good customer service
  • + Dual fuel capability
Cons
  • − Shut off when charging two power stations at once
  • − Not enough power to keep a dryer running
