Harbor Freight is selling the Predator 2500 Peak/2200 Running Watts, 4.7 HP (125cc) Portable Inverter Gas Generator EPA III for $369.99 after using coupon code: 56020503 . Shipping is $6.99 flat rate ground or you may pick it up in a store. Coupon code expires 8/14/2016

The lowest I've seen this inverter generator has been $399.99 with coupon.

Personally I prefer the AP2000iQ ($599), but if one is in need of an inverter generator and on a budget, this could fit the bill (no pun intended). Reviews are somewhat mixed, but with the other Predator generators careful maintenance goes a long way. Just don't expect to abuse this one like it's Big Red.

Harbor Freight uses FedEx. once the generator ships, contact FedEx and put in a vacation hold. they will deliver the generator on the day you say you want it.
Or, you can have them hold it at their hub for pickup (usually max 5 days though)

Hey, I bought it in a brick and mortar store - the last one they had in stock! We had a tax free weekend last weekend but I think that was just for school supplies and then there is National Preparedness Month but that is next month so I don't know know why the lower sales tax... I didn't ask either!!! Big Grin

P.S. In lieu of buying the $79 1yr or $129 2yr warranty, I plan to run the hound out of it for the next 85 days and if it breaks, swap it for another one. I put about 2 hours on it yesterday running a 1500 watt space heater and it ran just fine and compared to my open frame generators it is actually not that loud. But dang, at 70# it IS heavy... I'm gonna' have to make some kind of cart for it - I also plan to try these mods after the 90 day warranty is up:

certain credit cards extend the "extended warranties" purchased on items provided the extended warranty was purchased on that card WITH the covered item in the same transaction.

if you didn't want to purchase the extended warranty, your credit card (provided you used a card that has extended warranty), would extend it from 90 days to 180 days by default. then if the card you used also extends extended warranties, you could buy the (1) yr for $79 and then get your card to extend that to 2 years.

Wow, thanks, I did not know that - I need to call Capital One ASAP!!!

Did you notice now there's a coupon that drops it to $349.00? I wonder if they will give me the $20.00 difference back or take it off the warranty??
