This Firman is not a deal imo but not because it is gasoline only or is pull start only. 1600 running watts and the small engine kill the deal
Dual fuel is beneficial in a 6k watt or larger...

I believe this feature is what makes it an inverter generator. Versus a regular generator which seems to run close to full power the whole time regardless of load.

Ignorant question but If I’m only drawing 250W from this, will the gas burn rate be adjusted to match? Or will it still burn out in 9 hrs? Trying to figure out a power source for car camping and this...

the other downside is it's not as efficient on propane as on gas.

It depends a lot on how frequentlu you experience outages. how long they last, and what you NEED to power during an outage. For most people this would be adequate. Dual fuel comes at a cost - you're...

This might sound like a stupid question but since these have to go outside for obvious reasons and they're often used during storms, are they 'rainproof' or do I have to put it under an overhang?

Buy a small piece of plywood and just set it on there. It's not that big of a deal especially for the price.

No generator should go inside your house. They all spit out nasty combustion gasses and will kill you. If you want one like that get batteries.
