Small generators on sale at TSC from $179 and up

[Rmart30]

Thought someone may be looking for a cheap small generator. Ive purchase the $179, and the $199 model and they work good.
I use the $179 for running my cabin lights, tv, small fan and electric mattress pads. it will run about 5 hours on less than a gallon of gas.

Several on the TSC site for sale. Couple of dual fuel and LP only models also. Shipping to home was cheap when I got mine. Was around $25.

These are good prices. I paid more than that for my 3500 Champion 15 years ago.
The 3000 shows as unavailable now.

For emergency backup, I prefer to look for quality & reliability vs low price. Your opinion may differ.

My solar setup and 40kw of back up battery are for emergencies.

The $179 generator has done exactly the same thing my $1200 Honda did and uses less fuel.
These may not be top of the line units but if its a choice of someone being able to afford one of these vs not having one at all then its a no brainer.

Ck back daily for next couple of days. The 2000 was out of stock for 2 days then popped back up in stock. I ordered 4 of them to keep in case of storms to let neighbors or friends borrow.

These are great prices and when i looked at the 2850/3000 unit it was unavailable yesterday, but I checked this morning and bought one - for the portability aspect mainly.

For $249 it's hard to beat this deal for an inverter generator and has an Eco mode!

Picked the genny up yesterday and checked everything out - put oil in today cranked over w/o gas - then gas and it started first pull !

Eco mode is great -plugged in kilowatt and applied a load and has 121VAC at 59.9 Hz and 65 DB at 15' so very quiet - I’m impressed with this little generator

Ran the $179 one this weekend at the cabin. Ran my 2 electric blankets over night for 9 hours and did not even burn a full tank of gas. (less than a gallon)
previously the wife was running a 4000w inverter generator overnight and running the same load it would use over 2 gallons of gas.
So, good savings with the small one and it will pay for its self.

I actually ordered another of the $179 for a spare, and bought 2 of the $199 models for spares and to let neighbors or friends borrow when needed.
