Was $464 at Walmart a few months ago. Still seems like a decent deal at this price.

Much better price back then. I guess I'll wait. Wasn't sure if they stopped putting deals on these in the winter when everyone wants them.

1850 running watts gasoline but only 1655 running watts on propane and with a 20lb tank not very portable. I run my small igens on gasoline as they are only 0.1 to 0.2 gph on gasoline and highly portable. I love dual fuel on a larger conventional 220v with MTS capability for the high power stuff like cooking, pumping, heating. Loud but don't have to run it often. A wgen5300dfv can be a nice mate to a small inverter for emergency power. While a nice little igen this dual fuel has little to offer me over a $300-deal gasoline only 1800 watt model. YMMV Go for a personalized solution.

Submitted the lower price at Amazon "Tell us about a lower price") . Hopefully Amazon will match the price soon.

I'm wondering if I should buy now or wait for better deals in two weeks.

What scenario are you trying to cover?

For emergencies being able to power refrigerator and charge devices and battery powered portable station. We have propane cylinders so it is much easier to use propane.

if refrigerator + phone batteries are your only concern, then perhaps this device would work out for you. Couple of things to note before you pull the plug:

- oftentimes emergencies happen in winter, and then your priority is not refrigerator, but how to keep yourself warm. Do you have chimney or something like that? Running space heater with this thing would be a lousy option.
- 2500W is misleading, it's only for very short bursts. when you run on propane, the sustained max power would be 1655W, which is just enough to power a tea kettle. If fridge is the only device that draws power, it will be good enough; if you are thinking of anything else
- Same thing for propane. On one hand, it can be stored for a long time, which is good. But it also is less energy dense than gas. If an outage is for a long time, you may run out of fuel. same amount of gasoline would last longer.

For myself I'm finding that using natural gas + more powerful generator with tri-fuel conversion kit + installing generator inlet to power whole-house is much more robust solution. It's quite a bit more expensive though, but with war becoming quite a real possibility it might be better to get ready now, not later

War? I'm not aware of any potential war. I hope not!

everybody hopes not. Still no shame in being at least somewhat prepared
