It's for medium home back up.
About a year ago it was on sell for $1200 so may be not a great deal but if you are looking for inverter generator right now to buy then may be it's a good deal.

You are kidding, right? If you are using NG, the power is down to like 5875 watts. This will barely cover a third of the power needed for most homes with hvac.

You are right. It may not power the whole home central AC on NG. But looking at some of the reviews they use it with soft start. I don't personally own any generator but with this watts and inverter type is a good one.

Way too high. I paid 699 for wen 8,300 running watts. You would only need the extra regulator for trifuel. No tax and that wasn't even a real sale or anything.

Yeah, soft start is key. I own this and after breaking it in and using natural gas was able to run all at the same time: 3.5 ton central a/c with soft start, every kitchen and laundry appliance, all lights inside and out (LED so no big deal), two 65 inch TVs, 6 ceiling fans on high and it was outputting around 65 to 70% of its capacity. Running a 2nd a/c at the same time might be pushing it, but for our situation with only 1 a/c, this model is a great fit

I was going to say the same, if you don't need inverter the Firman 9kw tri fuel at times half this or less for refurbished.

The original notification said the backup generator price was 139899, hence the question about using it for a mall.

Well it's the inverter part that makes it unique. It's one of the highest power for a tri-fuel inverter there is. There's little or no competition.
It's like saying if you don't need the ev part, there are cheaper better cars than a tesla.

Ok. Can you come over and convert it to tri fuel for me? Thanks.
Can you also turn it into an inverter generator also? Double thanks.

Not the same at all, inverter or not is still has a engine! Like I said not everyone needs inverter at twice the price. Just another option is what I was saying.

I bought the Champion 100520 (8750 watts) inverter for $650 and a conversion kit for $200.

I'm a little concerned about it being open frame. It's quite loud. If I had to buy again, I'd probably buy a closed frame inverter. I'm considering just buying a backup, smaller, closed frame inverter anyways. Compared to the cost of a Generac install, it's not that much to have a backup-backup generator!

In an emergency, I really only need heat/AC. At least then I wouldn't have to evacuate. Not sure what size generator I need for just the AC with soft start...

That's not going to get you far compared to something like this generator. This can run unlimited. The Delta will run a few hours
