another new inverter genny

Was just perusing Home Depot's website and came across a genny that some may have an interest in.
2500 surge/2200 continuous
52 db noise, 48 lbs. 3 yr warranty.
$699
They specifically claim it will run a 15000 btu AC. For those that want small, light, and to very occasionally run an ac (though likely with everything else off) and supposedly quiet, this could be an option. Apparently they think the extra 600 cont watts is enough of a difference.
I did notice it only has a 20 amp receptacle.

Also found some other reviews through google, and they appear positive.
I know its not red enough for some or yellow enough for others, and likely doesnt strike that perfect pitch. But the size, and capability could make it fit for some folks.

  • Looks like the success of Harbor Freights newer inverter gennies are bringing lots of other players into the mix lately, only time will tell if Westinghouse has their Asian manufacturer building these with longevity in mind. As for these gennies running a 15K AC no less a 13.5K AC, we live and RV mostly at high elevations and would like to see someone with extensive use running their AC units above 5K' elevation.

    As these smaller brand name gennies start to swarm the market and have good success, taking more market share year by year from Honda and Yamaha, maybe blue and red might actually drop prices a bit to compete. We have had our Champion 3100 remote start for a couple of years and it has been flawless thus far, it already has 200 hours of heavy use and has powered our rig's AC unit at over 8K' elevation.
