Seems cheap to me. 130 less than eBay refurb (which is a good price).

I don't care about remote start. I ended up buying the wen 11000/8300 dual fuel. Even with the two most used mini splits running maxed out in winter, heat pump water heater (if I have to), PCs and 3 fridges, I will only use about half that. Not much of a sale, but $699 no tax. Wen still isn't charging tax on their website. Eat. My. Ass. Government!

And, no, I'm not worried about using a noninverter generator. HVAC is all inverter driven of course, fridges are old and dumb, and PCs have high end PSUs, so they'll be fine for temporary use.
Half load max should keep the distortion under control.

Can you elaborate about your hvac? Do you have a separate generator for the HVAC? I never knew HVAC was sensitive to less than clean electricity. I thought it was only computers and receivers.

50A 22v plug but shows a 30A breaker to go with it? 30A * 240v is only 7,200W...

The circuits in the board of ac units and motor are also susceptible to voltage surges. I just found this out recently as well. So everything in your house not on a surge protector is not protected. They make whole home surge protectors that attach inside of your electrical panel for ~$120+ that you replace if it trips.
