But this other review seems to imply that it's alright for home use with a transfer switch / interlock:
"I had an electrician put in an Eaton Double throw Transfer Switch that switches either Utility power (from Meter) or Generator power to my breaker box. The transfer switch is connected via 6 AWG to an SS2-50P generator inlet box. The generator cable I purchased had a 14-50 Plug at one end and a CS6364 connector at the other end to plug into the SS2-50P box. The 14-50 cable plug goes into an adapter that takes it to 14-30 which connects to the generator outlet. With Neutral bonded to ground in the Transfer switch, the Generator was set to Floating Neutral per video instructions from CPE. Instead of the Eaton switch you can always go with a generator interlock kit for your breaker box with a 2 pole 50 amp breaker for the 6 AWG coming from the SS2-50P wall outlet box"

We don't really get many power outages where I am, but it has happened and once for 4 days, but that was 15 years ago. I would like to think I would do the conversion to NG or propane and hook up to my panel, but the later may be beyond my know how.

"This unit is not for the home. The 30 amp port on the unit is incorrect for a transfer switch. Port must be a VAC 240. it has a standard 30 amp 3 prong port. It will not work with a standard VAC 240 connector. It should be noted in the description. The video shows use in a home, but leaves out the 240VAC information. Nice unit but cannot be used with a transfer switch correctly. Champion is of no help. Too many calls and no answer. Only amazon helped me with this issue."

The picture does indicate a 4 prong outlet.

The problem for me with this champion one (Even tho i bought it and posted this) is the fuel gallon size is small. I dont want to wake up at night and fill fuel ..etc.. so i will definitely convert to a natural gas (although don't have a natural gas pipe out to backyard yet)
The other one i was looking at is the harbor freight 8750 inverter which has a large gas tank size.
