  "summary": "Dual-fuel RV-ready inverter: 3,900 W running / 5,000 W peak on gasoline (3,500/4,500 W propane), TT-30R RV receptacle, ≤3% THD, CO Sensor auto-shutdown, and 18 h (gas) / 22 h (propane) at 25% load — 47.5 kg with wheels.",
  "description": "The iGen5000DFc pairs real RV receptacle evidence (a TT-30R) with dual-fuel inverter output: 3,900 W running / 5,000 W peak on gasoline and 3,500 W / 4,500 W on propane, all numerically published and stored per fuel. THD is officially ≤3%, runtime is 18 hours at 25% load on the 3.4 gal tank (22 hours on propane), and the CO Sensor automatically shuts the engine down on CO buildup. Electric, recoil, and remote start; parallel capable; telescoping handle and never-flat wheels at 47.5 kg dry. Westinghouse's '52 dBA' noise claim carries no load basis and is stored as basis-unknown, excluded from comparative ranking.",
