Firman Generator?

[HorstandTonia]

I've been looking at getting an inverter generator for a while. I was thinking of getting the Champion 2000Watt or 3100 Watt. Recently Costco started carrying the Firman generators. The specs are pretty close to the Champion but they carry a better warranty and are less expensive. I'm not sure if the 1Db sound difference is anything to care about.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Never heard of them.
Who does the warranty work?

I had not heard of them either.
Looks like Sumec (in GA) handles the warranty, whomever they are.

The Firman web site is pretty secretive about contact information.
Here is a link to their WARRANTY PAGE.

It does look like a nice unit.

I would recommend the Champion. Do Google searches for reviews, you will see why I like mine.

Seems we have these discussions about once a week here.

No question that Honda sets the bar high.

With that said, they are not the ONLY manufacturer of a good generator.
I have a Sinemate 3500 watt inverter generator that I've used pretty hard over the last 5 years. It has operated flawlessly.

My Uncle has a Champion that has worked just as hard without a hiccup.

Buy what suits your needs best.
