Strengths in the data

  • Best rated output in the category
  • Best runtime in the category

Flaws but not dealbreakers

  • Bottom-4 weight in the category

Both lists are derived mechanically: a metric makes the list when this model finishes in the top or bottom four of the 12 inverter generators we track.

Who shouldn't get it: Skip it if you load in alone — at 105.8 lbs you'll want wheels or a second set of hands.
