FIRMAN W03383 Remote Start Gas Generator - 3650/3300W

I purchased a Firman 3650ir as an emergency backup in case home power goes out after an ice storm, wind storm etc. At first, I was dead set on getting an inverter from the H brand, but those prices are just nuts. Then I came across Firman during my research phase, and then realized they were sold at most Canadian big box stores. This unit gives me 3300 running watts to power my fridge, gas furnace, gas hot water heater, and toaster oven without breaking a sweat. I've already put it through the 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil - a really easy task with the rubber grommet in the floor pan to let the oil drain through. Really a super design. What's not super is the plastic oil filler cap and drain plug. Seriously, what would it have cost to make these pieces metal?? But it's a small gripe. As for volume levels, the 3650ir is surprisingly quiet. Even quieter than my gas lawn mower. That was a huge plus. I also purchased an RV to 120V extension plug. It allows me to run just one cord into the house, and it has (3) 120V plugs, each with their own breaker!!! That's genius!! Plus, I get clean 60hz power for all my electronics. I'm truly thrilled with this product. Trust me, I'd hammer on about everything wrong with it if there was more to say, but it's truly great value for the money. $900 CDN vs $2500+ for the H brand. I don't understand why Firman isn't singing the praises of their products from the rooftops. Really why would you spend more? Message to the Firman marketing team... get your act together. Start promoting this product better. My only long term reservation is customer service. There are some disappointing stories online about reaching the call centre, getting help in a timely manner etc. I hope that if these guys want to be number one in the industry, they'll clean that up and quick. We'll see. All said, this is a must-buy purchase folks. No reservations here.

Very happy with the generator thus far. Remote start is a game changer! Quiet for a 3,650. Do yourself a favor and burn out that fuel while sitting in between use, your carb will thank you later. Great customer service, and friendly staff. Local store is a huge plus! Def a Firman fan.
