so this makes a $300 generator $150?

Anyone have any opinions on the quality of this generator? For that price... it's either a deal or... can't think of anything that rhymes with deal that is bad.

I love cabelas!! I know it's the 3500 watt model but the reviews for the 4000 watt should be comparable. That's a H-E-double hocky sticks of a deal. The 3500 watt model at Cabelas is $350.

 

BTW, I'm out in Purcellville and we have lost power about 5 times this winter.

I was looking for a generator. ugh. looks like the rebate is for "in-store only" only http://www.partsamerica.com/ and their brick & mortar stores are out west. Advanced AUto Part is a partner but the rebate coupn does not seem to include them.

I have a cheap generator (6500 watts) and have been using it for 8 years in emergencies. There are a couble of things to consider.

 

The rated output is usually for a short surge and the continous output will be lower so make sure it will cover your requirement.

 

Noise: cheapies are very loud, I live out in the mountains with 15 acres, my neighbor is several hundred yards away but he complains of the loud noise when I am running it.

My 6500 W just keeps up with one compressor we use for nail guns and a one other heavy draw power tool. If we add another one on it bogs down. The next generator I buy will be at least a 10k unit.
