Generator Deals

My latest Harbor Freight flier has 2500 peak, 2200 running watt inverter for 399.

If I did not have a Champ 2000i, I would give it as try.
  • Harbor freight, great for cheap tools that are one time use or not used regularly.

    Would not even consider a generator from them. Get the Champion as it already has a good reputation

    That's way loud for an inverter generator!

    The Champion 3500 open framed contractor style generator is only 1db louder and cost about $300.
    and will power much more than that HF one.

    Personally, I rather pay a little more for a Champion 2000w that's 10db quieter.

    I read the reviews there, yesterday. Sounds like it does not put out the power it says, more like 1800/2100, but people pretty happy with it other than that.
  • I saw the sale flier. If the regular price was $399, and went on sale I would take a chance.
    I guess my jury is still out on HF generators. JMO
