This is an inverter generator so you will be able to power all of your sensitive computer and electronic devices. It can also slow down based on usage so it can run quieter when you are not using a full load. This normally sells for around $900 and is a very solid inverter generator and at 6250 watts, the most you will find in an inverter without spending $2-$3k

I installed a transfer switch to my panel and it powers my entire 1200sq foot house including all lights, gas furnace, fridge, tv's, computers, window AC, etc. The only thing this will struggle with is Central AC.

HIGHLY recommend this inverter generator

Alternatively, you can get the 8750 watt with electric start for $1020, again a great price for inverter technology -

I've been watching alerts for generators for a while, looking for something for emergencies. This looks solid, but I'm wondering if the efficiency lost in using an inverter adds significantly to the fuel consumption vs a regular carburetor generator. I'm mostly looking to power air purifiers which are relatively high draw, and my refrigerator if wildfires cause outages.
There is no efficiency lost in this. Inverters are more fuel efficient than a synchronous generator - both generator types are carbureted. EFI generators are now available in the market though it's newer technology for portable generators so there are fewer options. Check the data plates on the products you want to run - add the amperage up and that will determine the size of generator you want to purchase.

There is a difference between an inverter and an inverter generator, you have a solid source for that 40% number? There are no batteries to pass through here, and I know my inverter generator is much more efficient than that.
You're right - there is no power loss.

Have had this for a year, paid $999. it replaced a 5000W Champion I had for 10 years which ran flawlessly. The inverter is not only better in general, but it specifically is compatible with UPS units. I installed several over the years owing to our flaky power. My old square wave generator would not recharge them, and they would continue to draw on their own batteries so I had to go around moving all the plugs to outlet strips. This one recharges them fine. Two thumbs, great price on a great unit.

Same experience. Zero issues running the mini splits. As a test, could do stove elements too.

Except the stove is purely resistive and the mini splits will be inductive and have inrush.

That's due to the varying frequency of the AC from a standard generator. UPS's can account for it (rather, their settings can be changed to not kick on/off haphazardly) but manufacturers only include that functionality in high end units (although if I were buying a UPS for a commercial server environment I don't think I'd ever be rolling in a Duromax to power it either).

The fuel savings of inverter generators is because they can throttle according to load. Theoretically at least, since in an inverter there is a conversion from AC to DC to AC (e.g. an extra steps vs direct AC generation), at some load the losses present in that inversion should come into play; you'd have to find 2 very similar inverter/standard generators to test that out though, as the larger the generator the less fuel efficient it will be.

Yeah, fuel savings are altogether different but with the assumption of running at capacity , the efficiencies i was referring to were along the lines of the conversion process required to clean up and maintain the consistent sinewave.. You would have to know the output of the motor and components to estimate the loss, its not alot..

Typically inverter generators consume less fuel, because they can idle down whenever you aren't using peak load. They are slightly less efficient at peak load though.

Would this be good for a home that loses power to a snowstorm? In Texas that happened to us.

240V- check!
inverter- check!
L14-30R outlet for transfer switch- check!

Looks pretty good but compare to the Westinghouse fully encased igen4500 which is also available in dual fuel.

Quote from avalon :
four gallons for 13 hours?
that's a bit much no? and expensive
A bit much for what? Is that at full load? What is gph on the other gen you are considering? Lowest I've seen is 0.1 gph but doesn't the consumption depend on the generation capacity you require? Try the comparison tool at generator bible. As for expense, when you burn road fuel you help the highway construction fund by paying road tax on every gallon. If you'd rather not engage in that charity then burn a tax-free fuel like propane.

Quote from movelikeaninja :
I don't know much about generators or electricity in general... is the one at Sams Club for $100 off right now any good? I'm looking for something that will power my 1700 sq. Ft building[
No, neither one is going to support your high bay lighting, lathes and compressors.

Quote from boxster233 :

Portable generators support loads not houses. You can save big by buying a 2000 watt gen and turning off all loads that exceed 2k watts including inrush surge.
Sounds like you might be looking for Tesla Power Wall with Solar plus weatherization.
