Costco has Firman 3200 genny on sale for $479!
I have a couple generators, Honda eu1000, eu2000 and a 3500 Predator- this Firman was one of my choices, but was $150 more than the Predator at the time. The Firman is now cheaper, a great deal-only available 12/4-12/12/18. If you have any money left after xmas shopping. now is the time to buy.
https://www.costco.com/.product.1003...DailyDealsDay5
edit: I just read it has a lifetime warranty??!!

Where did you see "lifetime warranty".
Pretty sure it doesn't come with that, maybe 2 or 3 years at most.

I know,crazy. But its in the description: Legendary Life Time Warranty Serviced From Our HQ In Phoenix Arizona, USA- right there on the link I posted.
Best thing about that one is its a Costco purchase.
I did notice the picture has a unit with the electric start. But I think this model is pull start, correct me if Im wrong. And this is not the dual fuel model which has certain advantages and cost more.

I'm not seeing that line on that link. But I'm using a tablet to view it.
Here's the Firman's warranty info, direct from their website:
"Legendary 3 Year Warranty Serviced from Our HQ In Phoenix Arizona, USA"
So I wouldn't trust what Costco put on their website. Must be a misprint

Here's the link to Firman's webpage for this generator:
https://www.firmanpowerequipment.com...verter-w03082/
The Legendary 3 year warranty is listed in the Features.
I betting on a Costco misprint.

Yes it will run the a/c no problem. Just not the a/c, microwave, hairdryer combo.

94.8 lbs is a killer for me. But for those of you with bigger TTs and TVs, it might be a different story.

Yeah I hear ya. I pulled a groin last year and it reminds me all the time not to lift stuff. I have to drive down the driveway so the tailgate is lower to get it into the bed of the truck. Other than that I have my kids lift it for me.

My 3500/3000 watt genny will run my entire trailer. Although I have not tried to run the electric water heater I can run my ac and microwave and tv and exhaust fans and avertrhjng all at once without it overloading. This is with a 15k ac

58 decibels is really good! The predator is 57 and is very quiet. For $200 less than the predator and Costco standing behind it, this is a heck of a deal IMO.

I got one of these before the hurricanes came this year. It game me a good reason to upgrade from the open frame generator I had. It was on sale for 499. It will run the 15 ac on my camper.

When buying this from Costco you get the lifetime warranty. Sounds like a pretty good deal.
