I run our 240v well pump, lights, fridge, freezer, everything except the HVAC.
It's been great. Some lights flicker a bit but have not noticed any other issues.
It's been a great investment, having water when the power goes out is huge. No lights, i can deal with but no water to flush, wash, etc with a new baby would have been not fun.
I wouldn't trust plugging that thing into just about anything anymore. Everything uses chips and sensitive electronics these days. Even your Fridge, Washer/Dryer, and Thermostat.
Probably fine for running tools at the job site, but not sure why you'd want a tri-fuel in those situations though. Wish they made more LNG/Propane inverters for home use.
1. Lights flickered
2. UPS beeped every minute due to power fluctuations. Battery died due to not being able to charge. Had to plug computers directly into wall.
3. Very noisy
4. Fuel selector switch broke after 1 year. Got a replacement from Firman (took them 3 months and constant emails). Then it broke while I was trying to install it.
Returned it to Costco. No issues.
Got myself the Predator 8750 Inverter (with Warranty). Costs more, but I can run my computers on this without having to worry.

How are the noise levels on this when using propane or any other fuel?
Also I see lots of comments praising inverter generators over standard ones since they produce a cleaner sine wave. Any issues with running the fridge or freezer?

just an fyi

I definitely haven't seen any tri-fuel ones for this price, but I'd rather trade some watts or even fuel flexibility for the inverter.
This is more of a "job site" generator, and definitely not a home backup. Too many devices it could fry in a home.

Though realize that most PCs for example will run just fine on square wave UPS which have a THD of 50%.
