You might be able to fight legally on medical necessity. For example if you had a CPAP and the HOA tries to fine the generator "keeping you alive", that's a problem.

Mine is trash. NOT REFURBISHED, looks HEAVILY USED. Oil leaking in box and scratches and scuffs all over outside of generator with sun faded labels. Looks heavily used or left outside for a long period

Contacted the seller and they were very dismissive. Just said to issue eBay Return. The item weighs almost 100lbs in packaging. They want me to load into my car, drive to a UPS, unload from my car, take my hand truck to get into UPS store for what? A refund of what I paid?

They know 100% they never inspected the item, sent an item that did NOT match their description and was NOT refurbished but instead USED (and / or returned after used and never inspected). This seller should not be trusted and buy definitely at your own risk

I do not think all of the effort to return is anywhere worth us being EVEN. And the seller knows this too which is why they DARE you to do the return process

Very similar experience and the customer service response was very telling. Basically daring me to take the time, effort, and breaking my back to return it. For what? To get my original money back? Needs to be a penalty to fraudulent sellers like this. They know these aren't refurbs and they know they don't match their description

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank FlashPilot

Thanks and repped! I grabbed one for power backup and boon docking.

The FIRMAN W01682F 2000/1600 refurb is also on sale for $200 with that coupon and weighs 54 lbs

For $39 more, this FIRMAN W02981F 3200/2900 weighs 84 lbs, is more powerful and built like a tank.

2-yr warranty makes this a great deal. Most refurbs have a 90 day warranty.

I'm not sure how much I'd count on it ("This item has a 2-year warranty serviced by Allstate."), but I guess it's a little extra "peace of mind" since I bought this thinking it only had a 90 day warranty - the description does say 3 month manufacturer warranty.

It's pretty simple. If it fails, AllState gives you your money back. It works.

I've been looking for a generator about this size for a bit and this is a fantastic deal. I pulled the trigger and bought it. I was at Costco last Friday and the same Firman 3200W was $850, way too much! SHLICK DEEAL indeed.

Don't feel bad if this will be your second or third generator to own. Sometimes I need a smaller generator. My 6700W one is hard to load and unload and carry around.

Do these generators have the air intake under the generator? Saw a YT video and someone was showing the intake being placed under as a flaw. Not sure if it's the same model.
