Also wish this was tri-fuel at $700.

This model isn't an inverter generator. The power it outputs isn't "clean" (it generates electricity directly from the spinning engine, resulting in "dirty" or unstable voltage with fluctuations and wobbles). That can potentially damage, overheat, or outright fry sensitive electronics like laptops, TVs, or smart appliances unless you connect them through a reliable UPS, a high-quality surge-protecting power strip, and solid cabling.
On the flip side, an actual inverter generator acts like a built-in smart filter: It produces raw power first, converts it to DC, then inverts it back to smooth, stable AC that's as clean as what comes from your wall outlet. All that said, this is an absolute bargain for the right scenario—like powering tools, basic appliances, or non-sensitive gear during outages.
Just not ideal for my needs. For comparison, it's listed over $1,200 at Walmart.

I'm with you, though, as my UPSes would likely freak out because of the unclean power.
It seems the $1k 9KW peak tri-fuel inverter is the best deal at the moment.
