Aipower....I see what they did there with the name...lol

Seems like a solid deal for an inverter at this wattage + dual fuel + Costco warranty. 👍

Been kinda looking around for something like this. Duel fuel is a must. Enclosed inverter would be nice, open cage inverter at a min. Is this as good as you can get for a grand?

Based on my general slickdeal browsing this is the best pricing I've seen for watts/dollar when factoring in dual fuel + inverter. The fact that it's Costco makes returns pretty hassle free if you don't like it.

The Honda version is $5K. I know this is no where close to a Honda (which is also Fuel injected), but just for reference - $1K vs $5K is a large difference.

I'm not sure if it's compatible with the unit Costco is selling, a reviewer states "The plug connectors are not compatible with the power generator connector (GXS7100iRd). Item came with a square shape plug while the generator has circle shape plugs."

Maybe because the parallel kit is meant for 12,000 watt and two units from Costco would be more than the parallel kit's capacity?

If someone can confirm whether the parallel kit does work with the unit Costco sells I'm all in.

The manual has some warranty info:

4 years Residential warranty applies as follow: 1st year Parts & Labor / 2nd & 3rd &4th year Parts ONLY


You can read more from the manual thru Costco's link on manufacturer's warranty (page 37):

The only thing I'm on the fence about is its noisy level at 68 dB, which is considered "loud" - equivalent of continuous cars running and city traffic noise...

sure at 7100W, it is what it is at 68 dB.

They probably ordered or received the wrong manufacture kit...probably the Champion kit [homedepot.com]?

Link to spec sheet showing that the REQUIRED Parallel kit is the one linked at HD PK12000

Where?
Says can't be returned via online.

Read some of the reviews and people with bad Gens simply return to store.
