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.

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.

No idea how paranoia gets spread so easily.

In my very humid area with wide temperature swings, untreated gas left for more than a few months gums up the whole thing. I've had good luck with Sta-bil and Startron making it last a year or so.
I have very little interest in playing Russian roulette with whether it will start up when I want to use it, and cleaning out the carb and system is far more than a five minute job.
That's why I bought the dual-fuel and run it on propane.
Not bad, but if you're looking for dual fuel, it's only 352$ more and 4000w with 192cc engine.

But kudos to the person that made a separate post for it so people can see it more. A lot more value on it's own but also looks like a ton of people were able to find it in the big post and went with that model. Its a great deal. Mine will be here Saturday
Thanks
