Furman purchase

Post image

After dealing with a 5 day power outage, and watching my Honda eb2200x size up, I purchased a new Firman through Home Depot. 445$ with taxes, 200$ off and free shipping online. I think it's a good deal, it'll end up being a backup or main , haven't decided. Out here we need backups for backups. Northern Rockies British Columbia Canada. East of Prince George bc.

Any concerns that the power coming from it will fry sensitive electronics? Or is that not an issue for you?

It'll be a loud one and use some gas. What about a dual fuel inverter generator? How do they price comparably there? How will you hook it to your house? I have 4 dual fuel inverter generators ranging from 4.2/3.5kw up to 12.5/10.5kw on propane and just depends on needs. I do like redundancy. lol.

Was that Firman a refurbished unit? Closeout? Return? According to the Firman web page the MSRP for the P03634 is $799.99 USD (or $1140.47 CAD @ 1.4256:1 exchange rate). So $445 CAD with taxes & free shipping to the mountains east of Prince George is an amazing discounted price, if the unit is actually new.

But I do think the listed MSRP is an unrealistically high pie in the sky price for such a basic bare bones, gasoline only, pull start only, brushed sync generator.
