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

This is an insane price for this inverter generator of this class. I'm surprised it's not sold out yet.

Does this have the intake on the bottom like the smaller one of these?
I haven't seen a response for this yet. Anyone have one that can confirm?

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.
I think Costco one is 4000/3200W at $799. Discount has been seen multiple times at $200 off

Probably, but it's going to depend on your AC and anything else you might be trying to power at the same time.

Thanks! Got the FIRMAN WH03242F 4000W Electric Start Dual Fuel.

Do I need a generator cord or will just a power strip work ?

Instead of having gas in a can going stale...why not get a small $10 transfer pump and get gas out of your car's tank when you need it?
Great tip! Ordered this as well. Way smarter than storing fuel

Ordered the 32/29 total $250 using %5 cashback Discover pay with paypal. Will replace a decade old Yamaha EF2000is that I paid $700 for and that never ran well. Ordered the 20/16 this morning then asked for and received a cancellation. Considering the price difference this is a much better value.

"Why not both?"

I ended up ordering the smaller one too after much consideration.. I should be able to resell my little guy (800W) for almost what I paid for the 1600W Firman... and for several hundred less than what one of these 2900W units costs new, I'll have two generators now.

How do you get the 5% cash back with Discover Pay?
