Even if they don’t reimburse I now have a generator that I can hook up to my house thru a transfer switch and my parents can use it in the winter for ice storms and hook it directly to their 500 gallon propane tank to run the electric items in their house

Which are a fricking joke

cant answer this for sure, but it seems that way. i'd imagine the closed frame to be quieter, but i have no experience with any type of inverter generator

FEMA came around after Michael, 2 mindless drones with a clipboard. Entire neighborhood torn to shite, trees still down everywhere. They asked me what my household income is, said thanks and left. Screw FEMA.

Do yall know if there are income limitations? Say if u make over a certain amount would that exclude you from qualifying for the money for the generator & saw? I saw on the application it asks for your gross income.

Just another generator question,
What does the word "inverter" buy you?
I know it's less noisy, but if all my neighbors are running theirs, the noise isn't as important as not.
Is the power cleaner?
Is it more adequete for running central a/c or more sophisticated appliances?
If it says 9500 starting watts and 7600 running watts, is it really any better than a traditional genny with the same rating?

They’re typically much more fuel efficient and produce much lower THC than traditional generators. Really, all that would matter for you, though, is that it’s fuel efficient.
Posted on 9/12/21 at 4:24 pm to Grassy1
Well its literally an inverter. It takes whatever AC power the generator is putting out and converts it to pure 60hz sine wave power. That means the engine can run at any speed to match the load, making it much more fuel efficient and quieter. The power is much cleaner than a normal portable because the output is digitally controlled rather than mechanically. They are better than a normal fixed speed unit in every way EXCEPT price.
A 7600 watt could maybe run your central air depending on how big it is. You'll need a soft starter regardless, but go see what the FLA is on your unit vs the max continuous amps of the generator (probably 30) and thatll be your answer.

Silly question.
Would running a 4000 inverter be more efficient than running two coupled 2000’s?
My instant answer is yes. But the versatility of the 2000 coupled with a 2000 is pretty cool.
Right?

Not enough one way or the other to matter if they're both inverters.

Bump skippity bump…. For all y’all (like me) that missed out on the $385 deal pre Ida. It’s back. I just bought one. Free shipping AND no taxes to boot! $385 to my door. Can’t wait to bring this camping and to the hunting camp. I was looking at the Honda 2200 but damn that $1200 is a hard pill to swallow for as little as I would use it. Seen this one on sale again and w/ the positive reviews figured what the hey. (The link in OP still works)

This bump cost me $385 
. I already bought a 6500 generac during the storm, but I figure for this price and the ability to use it camping and tailgating, I'll have a backup. In the OB I trust as far as reviews.

Damn it. I was mad when I missed the first $385 deal, now I'm mad I just spent $385 when I have 2 generators in the garage!
Posted on 9/18/21 at 12:43 am to slacker130
Just got delivered today. Might buy another of the $385 just so I can have 2 of them and this one

What is the decibal rating on the GN625i? I can’t find it on WEN website.
Posted on 9/18/21 at 10:14 am to Cajun Slick
In for one.
Thanks for the bump

Price for the WEN 8750W/7000w inverter now at $811 with free shipping. This looks to be really good deal. LINK
