I would venture to guess that Yamaha is just as good. Both companies are the Pinnacle of quality.

Dual fuel or Tri-fuel and I would be all over this
I don't use it enough , I would have to use liquid propane
To power and save time on upkeep. Clean burning and
Less maintenance

This is not a Yamaha generator. It's a Yamaha powered generator.

This makes sense, Honda generators are the gold standard.

And good reviews. 4.1 stars, and 76%of reviews are 4 or 5 stars. I'm not advocating for it, and it's not a Honda (and not priced like one), but I think you could probably do a lot worse. At least this has Costco backing it up.

I read the reviews differently. Look at how many 1* compared to 5* and I actually read the 1 stars. It's frame is cheap and brittle. Many come already broken. To me, this isn't worth the risk or money.

GASOLINE!!! IT USES GASOLINE as fuel. 🤦 ♂️ next time indicate it please
What did you figure it uses?? I guess everyone 'well most everyone' just knows gas has always been the general standard to run portable generators. Unless otherwise stated.

And with that stated, I won't even consider another generator unless it's duel-fuel. Propane is just so much easier to store with nearly infinite shelf life. Otherwise, this one would be extremely tempting...

Not sure why the TDs. You are correct on both counts. The Honda is the Gold Standard, and they make the inverter, not just the engine. This just has the Yamaha engine.
I went with two of these for work, during the last deal at this price back in March, as it is hard to beat the price, and I live in California so they don't sell the Honda here. But my friend has the Honda of comparable output, and it is noticeably quieter to me, side by side my A-iPower. I'm very happy with my purchase.
