No, it's not a portable. 12W hardwired into the electrical panel.

The B&S quote is $7059 completely installed. The Generac is $5245 but w/o propane hookup (which will run about $400) so I guess it's really just a $1400 difference (my math sucks ). The B&S will also be set on pebble whereas the Generac on cement and the B&S guy said that would reduce noise a bit - true?

The president of the company gave me the B&S estimate whereas the Generac guy was a sale dude who spent about 1/4 of the time here the B&S spent.

Everything points me to the B&S but I wanted to make sure it was worth the extra $$$

Many thanks!
