The best bang for your buck on power and fuel consumption is the Westinghouse 9500 dual fuel. Have one, coworker is using it to run his house. It only uses 0.43 gph of propane at half load, so a 100 lb propane rank should last you 2 days minimum. The newer version with the CO sensor uses more propane. On gasoline it will run (and my coworker has achieved it) 17 hours on 6.6 gallons. Also has the 50 amp plug allowing me to run my 3 ton central unit with a soft start.

Champion has put out what I consider the best tri-fuel, but it only has a 30 amp plug. Will be suitable for most people only running window units and such.

I have that Firman. It's 5500 running watts with NG and 7500 with Gasoline. Will also run on propane.
