Another price increase?

I paid $1099 for this one, which is what the price has been for a while.

No need to cut any wires, you can just unplug it. Ask me how I know.

:S

EU3000i and EU7000is have electric start, and can be started with the BLuetooth App, if you get the ones that are bluetooth capable.

Was there a gas gauge on that thing?

No. The EU2k / 2.2k has never had a fuel gauge,

I would like to hazard a WAG, people that run generators inside are not posting anymore.

More data is always a good thing and I don’t think it makes anything more likely to break.

I don't recall the bluetooth breaking on anything.

I have to keep reminding myself I can turn on my household oven with my phone.

Shoot almost as good as the toilet and porch light aps

If I ever buy one with the CO detector, I will cut the wires to it. If that won't let the generator run, I will wire nut them together. I, also, don't run a generator inside an enclosed space.

I didn’t see where he switched it in the app, only that it displays the state of the old-school rocker switch. Notice the cut in the video and that he just mentions it showing that it’s on.

You and bobbo are correct, I was easily tricked by the cut in the video. In researching this I ran across something else as an aside which isn't cold, hard fact but kinda-sorta sounds to be true:

- CO detector must be replaced in 10 years or generator won't run
- If CO detector fails, generator won't run

Ditto.

There's still people that do it!
and the sticker on the top pointing where the exhaust is, uhhh...over top. I guess you have to place warnings everywhere for the stupid people out there.

Stickers don't bother me, I "debadge" anything that comes with them...generator, camper, etc.
