Costco Canada in Montreal, is selling a portable 2800W genset by Champion.
Does any one know something about this unit? It has wheels.
I've not found this unit at Champion.
I have recently learned that it is pretty much identical to the US unit. The big difference is that all of the components on your unit had to meet very stringent CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification to be sold in your country. In most cases, the parts are identical to the US counterpart other than the testing and "stamp" on the part.
The wattage rating has been downgraded from those sold in the US for the same reasons - to be absolutely sure it meets CSA standards. By giving a 2,800 watt rating, there is room to "play with". The Canadian unit uses the same engine and generator head as the USA unit and will actually deliver the same wattage as the USA unit.
