Best forRV owners and backup users who want electric start, a remote fob and propane on a wheeled 3.3 kW inverter at under $900.
A wheeled 3,300-watt inverter with electric start, a key-fob remote and propane capability for $859. It makes 3,300 running and 4,000 peak watts on gasoline, and 2,970 and 3,600 on propane, which covers a fridge, a furnace blower, a sump pump and lights, and a 13,500 BTU RV air conditioner is within reach on a soft-start. Owners like the telescoping handle and wheels at 62.8 lbs, and the key-fob start from the camper steps. The complaints are consistent: the 1.69 gallon tank gives about 7 hours even at a quarter load, so a long outage means refueling overnight or switching to propane, and owners find it louder than the 52 dBA on the spec sheet, which sits oddly beside the same figure Westinghouse gives its much smaller iGen2550c. The 30A outlet is a 120V TT-30R, so it does not feed a transfer switch. It is a bargain next to the Honda EU3200i and a notch above the budget Champions in fit and finish.
