This is the model that I was talking about above. Made the post hurricane power outage more tolerable

I bought the Wen dual fuel directly from Wen for $1,050 free shipping and no sales tax. It goes in an out of stock regularly but I would check daily

If I were you, I will go with Champion for better quality. Also natural gas is a huge plus, as you mostly do not need to worry about running out gas or propane. Usually you would have to pay 200+ for NG option for same generator
Non-oxy gas is a pretty easy way to go.

I already bought the Wen and it seems to be of high quality. Since it has remote start it comes with an electric choke which makes starting a breeze. Doubt I will use remote start, but nice to have regardless. Neither of these features the Champion has. They look so similar I wonder if they don't come out of the same factory.
I only need dual fuel. Where I live, NG is not an option but I have whole-house propane so it connects like NG and I have a 500 gallon tank so it's essentially endless. And my supplier will deliver as needed since they monitor my tank level remotely. Some lose NG during outages, but I won't because my tank is onsite. I would not depend on availability of 20lb grill tanks for backup. When Helene hit my friends in GA, they had to drive over an hour to get gas and propane tanks. I had my propane supplier install a tee at my house with a valve. I since installed the quick disconnect for a hose to connect to my generator. Runs great off of that!
