Sorry to take so long to get back to everybody.. the weekend kept me busy. Keeping it simple, I ended up ordering the Costco dual fuel... I figured between the 4% back, the extra warranty using my card, it just made sense. Hopefully it arrives safely.. don’t let me down UPS.

Why not just buy the Costco one in your post? It can be returned easily enough to the warehouse for a full refund if it doesn't suit your needs. Amazon also has a great return policy. I bought an A-iPower 2000 watt inverter a month ago and it was delivered to my porch in 2 days from them. The days of browsing gear at stores like SEARS are mostly behind us, sadly.

I miss being able to see things in person, but I guess I’ll make due. Two day shipping is impressive though.. wonder how fast mine will take.

I am so sorry I didn’t get back sooner - Gmail spammed your email. I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think it was what I was looking for (dual fuel inverter, due to sever noise restrictions where I am, plus electronics). Still appreciate you going out of the way on the offer.

I got one online a couple of Black Fridays ago. 4kw peak dual fuel generator. Honestly, shipping was a lot more convenient than trying to haul the damn thing out of a store and into the car would've been. My biggest problem was how to get rid of the box without letting the entire neighborhood know about it (not a bad area, but lots of renters and no real trust or community). Unless you're in a situation where you need it same day I'd just look for free/cheap shipping and save yourself the hassle.

I was trying to find a big daddy like that (think it was a Wen IGen 4300DF, but they seem to be hard to find (and more expensive). My big goal is to be ready for the season, and unless Costco biffs it badly, I should be good.
For anyone wondering, the dual fuel is really a big one for me, since I have the setup for the 900w genny, and want something that I can run on my existing supplies without depletion of gas supplies. Irma was a big wake up call on why gas gens were imperfect, especially when propane stayed available to the end.
In the meantime, gonna order a few spare spark plugs now, just to be ahead of the game
