Deal Details
I found this when looking for an inverter.
It has remote start, and a larger gas tank than some of the others that I was looking at.
It's also a quiet model, that includes wheel to move it around since it's a little larger.
The reaso for the slick deal, is that it's a much lower price than others with the same features.

For the price, you can get another inveter, but it won't have electric start, and the larger gas tank. Not only electric start, but a remote start.

I read the reviews, did AI reserach with Google, and the only down side that I saw as a potential is also an upside. The receiver for the remote start always stays on, so it will drain the battery over time. The solution is to disconnect the battery when you put it in storage, and connect it when you need to use it.

Hope this is a slick deal for someone elese

I don't think it was a mistake, maybe if it was a duel fuel however you can find roughly the same size random vendor name gas only inverters for $400-500 normally. This is on the low side of that and does have electric start, however not nearing the mistake or BIN range....IMO at least.

FWIW, this is also a decent price on a no name, pull start but 4500w 'Open Frame Inverter'

P.S. Thanks for the post, I probably would have bought it if it had 240v.

Says the account that has posted 5 deals since 2009 lmao so many entitled losers here.

Maybe you'd like the OP to apologize to you as well since the FREE information they provided you on this FREE deals forum wasn't up to your standard.

I'd ask for a refund if I were you.
