I found these at the Sam's Club in Green Bay. Still $499.00 Their website is useless for finding these things and the only way to be sure if they have them is to stop at your local Sam's and look for yourself.
I bought two of the 4 they had. I added oil and gas to them and they fired right up. Three pulls on the first one and two on the second one. I let them run for about and hour with a 1500w heater plugged into one and two 500w halogen lights plugged into the other. They never missed a beat. A slight burp every once in a while, but every inverter generator I have been around did that every once in a while.
They are not as quiet as the Honda EU3000i that I have experience with, but way quieter than the Honda, Generac, and Sportsman conventional generators I have been around. A nice happy medium.
For the price, they purr:p
I will not get to really check them out until I head up to the cabin in a few weeks. They will get a pretty good workout up there and should get 20 hours or so run time that weekend.
It is still too cold for the wife and kids to go camping yet, so that will be another month or better. Can't wait for summer when I can try out the AC on them:)
So far so good.
