I put a natural gas conversion kit on it and it runs great.
The "quiet" is laughable. Yes, it's a tiny bit quieter than my old generator. But not by much, and the revs this thing makes when it's in eco mode to catch up with heavy loads is ridiculously loud.
Also, note that it only has roughly a 4 gallon gas tank, and that runs out really quickly. I'm really missing the seven gallon tank from my old generator. That's why I got a conversion kit.
The power is very clean coming out of this generator. My battery backups have no problem with it. My sensitive electronics have no problem with it. Things like my fridge don't buzz like crazy like they do on other standard generators. The inverter is worth it.

Note that for a generator of this size, you'll need 1" gas line all the way from the meter to where you're going to set up the generator. You need a high flow valve. You need 3/4" flex line to go from the wall to the generator with no quick disconnects.
A lot is involved to get a generator this big to work right with natural gas and a conversion kit. Smaller generators with smaller engines are much easier. I can run my 3000 watt inverter off of my 1/2 grill connection.
A 20LB propane tank is super easy to get going with a simple hose and regulator. You could easily keep a few tanks around for MUCH cheaper than hiring a plumber to run you a 1in gas line. Keep that in mind. The stuff never goes bad, but the tanks should be replaced every 10 years.
I was lucky enough to have a plumber run me a 1" gas line during a remodel 11 years ago so I already had one ready to go.
Not sure how long this price will last.
