We have that Honda, duel fuel gas/propane, we run it on propane. Never tripped anything like others we have used, even runs well hooked to 350 feet of extension cord. The only think I don't like is it's so little and light our chain we padlock generators with almost tips it over. I think it cost 750 and on a tall grill tank (40lb?) It will run 2 days if on eco mode On Apr 8, 2015 7:43 PM, "Bill Prince" <[email protected]> wrote:
