No bro I'm in Alaska lmao 😂
I've been watching this for a while and it's a decent deal on a larger dual fuel if your in the market.

Yes, ultimately it might be better to have a few generators at different kW levels depending on application. This unit is really designed for a jobsite or whole home backup, not tailgating or camping. "portable" simply means you can move it around, not that it's going to be fun doing so.





Propane usually takes a kW hit, on the order of 10-15% for both peak and nominal. Also, you will go through propane tanks much faster than you will gas "tanks", but propane should be easier on the engine (cleaner)




Generators are specified by nominal and peak kw. Nominal is what the unit is designed to run for long periods of time. Peak is an instantaneous value caused when something happens all of a sudden but for a very short period of time like a motor or compressor kicking on. Probably not as relevant a number as nominal, as it's much more difficult to plan for peak usages like that.




Ugh the THD debate. Yes these WF non-Pro models have high THD. If I had my druthers, I'd love a low THD unit, but that's not going to happen at these price points. In fact I welcome anyone here to go find a 12.5kW inverter generator. Honda tends to make the largest "home" models but they typically top out around half this kW and cost several times as much.

That said, I believe the THD debate is moot. Would I prefer it? Why not, but I don't think it makes much difference, at least in the scope and scale that one would be using a generator like this. Also, the THD argument is really sourced 30-40 years ago when electronics were much less sophisticated than today. I've really tried finding hard data on this, and all I can find is *theory* about how *long term* use of "high THD" power could potentially cause slight overheating in certain components and perhaps premature failure. There's a LOT of qualifiers in that statement. I have not been able to find even a single semi-scientific study that tried to evaluate if the above assertion was even true. It might be that it is true, but to get to any real level of risk of damage you need to run for 10,000 hours, in which case that might as well as be never for 99.99% of people that own a generator.

I bought at $849 at the beginning of December and thought I was getting a steal. At $800 I would say this is a can't miss deal.

Can be shipped to California, but being as how we don't have a hurricane every month, I'm good.

This thing is 200lb so even with the wheels it would be only minimally portable.

A 4000W generator at 100lb with lesser power will do just fine for emergencies unless you want to host a party as well
