I have one, paid 499, so this is a good price. Just be advised it will not start your high load motorised tools. I would say anything with a motor, 10a or less, you are good to go. It will not start my 8 gallon or 20 gallon compressor, goes into overload. Fine on my Ridgid large shopvac, but you can hear the strain (will not start it in eco mode).

If I had not needed it urgently, and knowing what I know now, I would have waited for the Westinghouse pro 2500W. Probably has just enough juice to start any 15a or less 120V appliances.

To start some high draw tools if possible you can feather the trigger a bit to slowly bring it up to speed. Has worked on my champion 2k 1600...

Great price for this size of inverter generator. I like these better for lower draw items that benefit from cleaner power like electronics. Plus they are easily portable and quieter. You just need to be realistic as to what they can power effectively.

Whereas the bigger more powerful conventional generators for items than require big start up draws.

You can’t even get an inverter generator used for this price. So this is a good deal.

But they refuse it based on Costco's required membership fee. Other B&M stores don't charge entry.

Members have been successful in the past, per posts in past generator threads. I guess its YMMV.

Hello all, long time looker on this site but first post here!
I tried this morning to price match with HD customer service.
They refused not because it was Costco but because it is a limited time sale price.
They seemed to have no problem with Costco until they notice it was on sale.
Thanks OP!

If this is anything like the Honda 2k inverter then high starting loads should be no problem. That thing could start a clapped out vacuum along with a Pvc heater at the same time. Great little vaccum. I got the Firman conventional 3600 watt. Kind of wish this was available, better choice for my needs.
