I've owned that generator for over three years now and have been very pleased with it. I made sure to give it a thorough shake down while it was still under warranty. My only complaint is that the starter battery gave up the ghost after only two years.Was going to suggest HF for their Predator 3,500 watt inverter generator for around $900 until I saw previous post on the length of warranty. Three months doesn't say a lot for their confidence level, but still may want to take a look!
The Predator 3500 got a five hour workout last night running two refrigerators, a chest freezer and various other odds and ends. We even ran a load of dishes with a heated dry cycle without overtaxing it. Our Champion is an open frame conventional model and hasn't seen much use since the Predator arrived.I have a champion 2000, Among others. Flawless. HF 3 months warranty, champion 3 years.
What Costco sells is pretty good stuff. Also, they have a very liberal return policy. I don't have a Firman, but I've seen many good reviews, and I would probably buy one if I needed another portable.I Got a cheap Firman from Costco. It works. I just needed it for emergencies to run the refrigerator and maybe some lights. It works fine.
Wen currently has their 2250 W (1800 W continuous) inverter generator on sale for $399.99 if you buy direct from Wen. That price includes tax (depending on the state you are in) and shipping (because there is currently a free shipping deal with them if you buy something over $25). I have no idea how long they will be on sale or how long the free shipping deal will last.Looking for a small Inverter Generator . Somewhere around 2kw continuous . HONDA is not an option . Too expensive at this time . Checking the reviews on everything else they are good and bad. Any personal experiences ?

It's their model 56225i which retails for $499.99. It's very quiet and only weighs about 49 lbs if that matters to you. Wen sells a bunch of different generators, but this one has been out for at least a few years and is very popular. Any problems and issues should be well known. Here is a link to it:

I have no ties to the company or anyone selling it. But I know the product fairly well so let me know if you have any questions.
