There is that gripe every generator thread. I've ran my DuroMax 12k for 5 yrs prob 100 hrs off and on in emergencies. Heat pump, 5 TV's, 3 computers, 3 refrigerators, 2 stand up freezers. Not a problem. Ran the whole house at full capacity. I'm sure ppl have had anecdotal problems but regular non inverter gens are still ok if ran and taken care of properly like any generator.
Feces as a fuel source is the real future
Gripe with these is high fuel consumption and noise. THD if you want to be picky. Might as well reduce your loads and go with a champion 8750 inverter for same or less cost. Tri-fuel is a big plus here, I know for a fact they make propane kits for the champions, wen also sells a 8750 inverter as well for even cheaper.

Quote from borntooslow :
Emergency gens are all about FUEL EFFICIENCY so you want a small, parallelable inverter. Not just for the low THD but for their ability to run at a lower RPM to save gas. If you're not electrically inclined get the WGen12000 as it has all the benefits of a small inverter but can push out 240v.
what would you say is a good price for that one?

Agree run most of my house on a similar set up for years. 2 furnaces, pellet stove, tvs, computers etc. No issues. Had to use it for 14 days straight during a big storm.

The interesting thing is you have less than 5% THD on this model which is dual fuel only.

Quote from Dr. J :
This.

"High THD" and "Sensitive electronics" is a reflex but honestly I've searched high and low for some kind, any kind of study that actually quantified it, and I can't find it. It's basically theory and anecdotes. Also in theory high THD is more of a cumulative issue, meaning the longer something that's susceptible is run under "high" THD, the greater the chances it will fail. The issue is - how long is that? Days, weeks, years? If it's long enough, the point is essentially moot because the average person isn't going to plug their phone into a high THD generator and leave it for 20 years.

And my anecdotes? I've run our whole home on a generator for 7 days+ continuously several times. I have some UPS units that flip out - come to find out that the pro versions allow (in settings) to accept higher THD, but consumer level ones do not. Besides that? Totally fine, and that's with new appliances, computers, deep well pump, furnace, DVR, panel TV's, etc.

So TLDR it makes sense to prefer lower THD however in practice it probably doesn't make much of a difference if any, and to get appreciably lower THD it's going to really cost you.
I have a buddy who uses his generator to weld on his property and he had to do lots of research to find the right inverter that could provide clean power to his welder. I also know compressors care about clean power as well.

The idea of biomass has many opponents since it doesn't pay big money to big governments. Generate electricity naturally and entirely renewable with low/no environmental impact? You can't do that!
