The Costco one seems like a better deal to me since it has electric start and this one does not. Plus it is 50 dollars cheaper and it is 2900 watts running instead of 3000. So close.

69db is a bit loud for an inverter gen. 10 hours of run time on a 50% load is not a long run time when the tank is 3.2 gallons. I think the Firman at Costco would be a better deal like the comment above mentioned. Just my 2¢.

I'm wondering if the Sportsman brand and/or Buffalo Tools is being eliminated... Prices are ridiculously low.

You could get two of the Westinghouse iGen2200 at Sam's Club for $299 if you can catch them when they're back in stock this week and then get the parallel kit for about the same price. You'd lose the dual fuel but gain power, redundancy, and flexibility.

Do you think that Sam's deal will be back in stock again? I wanna grab 2 of those.

No way of knowing for sure, but it's been in and out of stock at least a few times (I bought one during one of the restocks) since it first sold out, and in my experience Sam's has frequently does restock things randomly but often. For example I bought toilet paper and hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes during the height of the pandemic multiple times just by refreshing pages randomly throughout the day.

Doesn't look like a deal to me when a more well regarded brand is similar in price. The Champion 100574 4000/3500 Dual Fuel Inverter is $675 at Home Depot. If you can catch the 100574-1 in stock at Cabela's or Bass Pro, it's the same but comes with a wheel kit.

If you shop around you should be able to find it closer to ~$50.

Exactly, plus you could get cheaper non duel fuel models and add tri fuel adapter. The not recommended above 3000 ft seams like it may be a deal breaker for some. We occassionaly boondock in our travel trailer, and need the generator to run HVAC.
