The dual-fuel generator was what sold me. I hesitated on the cost, honestly, thinking it was too much for something I might use three times a year. But the peace of mind... that’s what you pay for. Switching to propane is straightforward when you run dry of gas. It's surprisingly quiet, too; I keep it out in the yard, and it doesn't wake up the whole neighborhood. I worried it would be too complicated for me to manage, but the instructions were actually quite clear. Anyone on the fence about paying a bit more: do it for the flexibility of the fuel. That’s the real value.
