Jim,
John(NDGent) wrote you an excellent explantion in regards to the generators. The Lifan Inverter Gen 3300 retails for 999.99. When hubby & I were comparing the two units the 2600 vs 3300 there was a popup type thing that said 20% off on all generators and power tools so I called the 800 number because I couldn't get the online order form to except the code. The lady took my order and the 20% off code. I just checked before writing this post and the code is still popping up so it's apparently still good. Don't know if I should be advertising on here BUT the code is PRE20. Don't know how long it is good for BUT if anyone is interested in purchasing a generator I would suggest you give Home Depot a call at 1-800-466-3337 and use that code PRE20. I tried to put it in the promo code again tonite to see if it would work and it still won't take it BUT they WILL take it over the phone. Hope this helps someone who is looking to buy a generator get one at a reduced price as they are pricey little things. Hopefully I don't upset anyone for advertising Home Depot on here. Just thought if anyone was looking to invest in a generator I'd pass this information along. The 20% off does make a difference. By the way shipping is FREE!!

John and Deb,

Thanks, both of you, for such complete and understandable (for me) answers.

Cleared up a bunch of questions I had about portable generators (that is, generator-inverters)!
