Roughly half of those negative reviews were people not reading the description complaining about accessories not being included or shipping issues. But the other half were people with legit issues of broken parts, DOA, dirty, etc...
I don't think its much to be concerned about . If you figure only 25% of people leave feedback when they have a positive experience and almost 100% leave it when they have bad experience it really doesnt scale out to be that bad for a "refurbished" product.
I also wonder how many of these are costco returns for people who got them for a hurricane, never used it, then returned them or people who only needed it for a day then returned it.
I remember seeing people returning these to costco after a hurricane scare a year or 2 ago and i asked if they would sell me one for a discount lol. I was told they send them right back to the manufacturer.

Just sharing the deal so people are aware it's out there. I purchased this one and don't care other than to spread the word & deal.

Mostly good, and the negatives seem to indicated refunds. Some are for things like "missing parts" - but the seller indicates this unit only comes with the propane line, not all parts. Plus it comes with 90 manufacturer warranty in addition to the 2 year All State.
There's a risk here, as with all refurbs, but seems like 95% chance to get a hell of a price on a dual fuel inverter with this much wattage, with a 5% chance to just have to deal with a refund.

Not bad, but if you're looking for dual fuel, it's only 352$ more and 4000w with 192cc engine.
