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.

The only thing with the listing, it says it only comes with the LPG regulator and hose. Cool. But there is a barrel style power plug you need to charge the battery to use the electric start. However, i am sure it cant be THAT much to pick up one from Fireman or even third party.
This is a hell of a price, with a decent 2 year from All State. The ONLY thing that would jump out at me is a refirb unit and you want to ensure they are broken in correctly. BUTTT Ive had good luck with "ebay" refurbed laptops and such.

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

however I just ran it dry, changed the oil, added some sea foam to some fresh ethanol free gas, and should be set for another 2 years. these carbs on these things don't gum up nearly as bad or easily as people say. you have to wonder, if people are just quoting google, or actually had a carb gum up in such a short amount of time.
