11,000 starting, 8,500 running watts on gasoline
9,500 starting, 8,000 running watts on propane
8,400 starting, 6,800 running watts on natural gas
I can't speak to the long-term reliability, but the unit seems very well built and so far has fired up perfectly every time I've turned it on. Also seems relatively easy to get into and work on if anything does come up.
1. Closed frame inverter meaning better fuel efficiency, quieter, and safe for sensitive electronics
2. High power for an inverter generator
3. Tri fuel capability
4. Sams club return policy whereas most stores (HD, Lowes) don't even take returns on opened generators
Although might not be the right generator for everyone:
1. As @chuck4rooke mentioned, the sustained power outlet under your chosen fuel will be much less than 11,000 watts. If you need more power, you can get non-inverter units with more power for the same price or you can buy 2 of these to run in parallel.
2. If your intention is to run on gas or propane, you're paying a huge premium over the $900 GMiaed at sams club for only somewhat more power.

6,800 running watts at 240v on natural gas.
6,800/240=28.333333watts
May keep a natural gas furnace and some lighting available during the winter but won't run a single AC during the summer much less 3 ACs

Standby gens seem to routinely go on sale at Costco for on the order of $5k give or take (order of magnitude). The install cost really depends on how accessible NG and your panel are to one another. There are also things you may be able to do as the homeowner to bring the cost down. For example, pouring a concrete pad for the generator, or doing some other grunt work in routing wires and piping. For this you'd probably have to really shop around for the smaller electricians/plumbers as the large outfits typically don't want to hassle with small jobs.

Comment about the no return policy above would seem to indicate otherwise.
Not familiar with Sam's club (currently Costco member). Would appreciate any feedback.
