Right now, Walmart is slashing the price of this 2500-watt unit by more than half—it's one of the lowest prices I've ever seen for a generator with this much juice. Hopefully, the deal will still be going when you see this post! Here's the full spec rundown: - 4-stroke OHV engine - 900W rated and 2500W surge wattage - 2 AC outlets, 2 USB ports, 1 DC port - Gasoline run time 7.5 hours at 25 percent load,5.5 hours at 50 percent load,3.5 hours at 100 percent load - Noise rating: 69dB at 23 feet - Package dimensions (L x W x H): 20.5x12.8x20 inches - Net weight: 39.7 lb. - Parallel-ready capability doubles your output to 5000W by connecting two generators - Fast shipping time: items usually arrive in 2-5 days I have not run any PowerSmart equipment myself, but online reviews seem pretty positive. At this price, it's worth a shot even if this genny just ends up being your backup. If that one doesn't quite suit your needs, here are some more power solutions Walmart's discounting for Labor Day: [Efurden 4000-Watt portable generator]() (good reviews, and a Walmart best seller) for $300 (normally $600) [PowerSmart 4,400-watt generator]() for $350 (normally $500) [Pulsar 4,000-watt inverter (super quiet with a carbon dioxide sensor)]() for $500 (normally $600) [EF EcoFlow portable power stations]() starting at $490 (normally starting at $900) [Sportsman gasoline 4,000-watt portable generator]() for $300 (normally $520) There are so many on sale, both traditional gas-burning generators and electric power storage cells, that I can't list them all.
