Overview
A front facing fuel selector switches the DuroStar generator between gasoline and propane, so you can use whichever fuel you have during an outage. Push button start brings it to life, and a fifty amp outlet feeds a home transfer switch.
High wattage and a transfer switch outlet make whole home backup possible, and a CO alert shuts it down if fumes build. The listing skips running watts, fuel tank size, runtime, weight and noise, which are the numbers that decide fit.
Who it's for
Homes in storm prone areas with a transfer switch, and job sites with heavy loads, will use the high output. Campers and RV owners near quiet zones should look at an inverter model.
Pros and cons
- High wattage for large loads
- Gas or propane flexibility
- 50A transfer switch outlet
- CO alert with auto shutdown
- Running watts not listed
- Weight and runtime unknown
- No sensitive electronics claim
Performance notes
The listing does not split output between gasoline and propane, so plan loads with margin. The heavy duty outlet carries loads to a transfer switch, and the CO sensor watches for buildup when it runs.
