Hmmm, was the product description written by a physicist? 🤔😄

"Voltage: 1.2E+2 Volts (AC)"

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank gathermewool

Both of my smaller WEN inverter gennies have been going strong for years with minimal use (I only need them maybe six times for around a day each, on average).

In addition, I exercise them by running a space heater from time to time (eg before a major storm hits) and run the stabilizer gas out of no power outage happens.

Finally, I got a magnetic dipstick and it picks up a decent amount of ferrous material during each oil change. I'd recommend getting one for cheap.

How does this compare to the Pulsar? Pulsar has a higher list price, but is 2700-Watts.

Second this. I have a 56225i and its also been going strong for years. I typically change the oil every year (synthetic). I bought one as an xmas present for a cousin in FL. Their unit easily got them through two hurricane seasons.

My AiPower 2400 watt generator (with yamaha motor) advertised between 52 but it sounds as equally as loud as a Champion 2500 watt. The Champion is advertised at 52 db as well. I feel like it is louder than the advertised db level. So realistically advertised level is the low end. I would guess that it will be louder than 60 db. So, put it farther away from, preferred next to a Karen, then you will be find.

Yes for $50.00 more it has dual fuel ( gas & propane ). Propane is much cleaner as not to be smelling the exhaust. I just purchased a dual one off of here at Walmart for $325.00 ( Nex Pow ). Regularly $1350.00. 3200/3500 watt. Now it's back up to $699.00 at Walmart. All search's I did for it was at least $1200.00 even at the manufacture.
