Great price for this model. I have only seen it this low once, and I don't believe the price lasted more than 24 hours. I purchased this unit a year ago for home back-up but have only run it for break-in and occasional exercise. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and performs well.

    The lower left screw, 10 mm head, on the large side cover may not come out without removing the front cover and holding the nut to prevent it from turning with the screw. If the engine is hard starting then the electric choke wire may need to be plugged back in to the circuit board. The plug is accessed from behind the front cover near the nut for the side cover screw.

    Would be ideal if it only had a 240V output (transfer switch ready).

    Is this overkill if I just want one for short term power loss, say max 1 day with a rare max 3 days?
    Would just use for sump pump, refrigerator, and maybe freezer if power is out longer.

    I'm in a similar boat to you and ended up getting a WEN with 4000 watts. The problem with the smaller models is they only have 1800-2000w max running power, and once you start adding things it's just too close for comfort. I would rather have extra wattage and not need it.

    Also, even though it's the least efficient way to stay warm, if you want to be able to run a heater that's 1500w by itself. I wanted something that could run all my essentials + a heater when necessary.

    Actually most all electric heaters are nearly 100% efficient. However, I would agree they are not the most practical way to produce heat when running on generator. As there are plentiful ways for the average person to generate heat but a much more limited number of ways to generate electricity.

    Are you still within the return window for the other? If so, buy this and return other.

    You can't return these to amazon. Only exchange if defective or arrive damaged, so buyer beware.

    I was torn between this and the champion that was posted recently, but since I already have a westinghouse iGen 2200 and the price dropped I went with this so I could parallel them both for 6,700 starting and 5,500 running watts if needed.

    Thanks for posting this OP. Really good price, within $10 of the lowest I'd seen.
