Looking for a 10-11k myself with 50a 220v. Need to get it soon as Ca banned sale of small gas engine devices here as of next year. Note wattage output with fuel type. Propane output is less than FF and natural gas output is even less than propane. Something that is not normally pointed out.
Good points.

So, with the ban on the sale of small engines in California, will folks be making purchases from out of state or on-line?
