Tailgating - Generator

[BullyPulpit]

Just thought I would share this here, as Amazon.com is doing a great deal on an inverter generator. Equivalent generators (Yamaha) go for $900 to $1,000, and this one usually sells for close to $500, but is on sale for $380 today only. For those who haven't used them before, they are really quiet and produce very little exhaust. They are great for running a TV and small appliances (fans, stereos, blenders) at tailgates. I figured I would share the offer here. Also, maybe Brad can help, but I believe there is a link to somehow go through The Bullspen so that they get credit for the purchase.

Here is a link to remember for any Amazon shopping.  Arrive at Amazon using this link and the site gets credit.

Thanks Bully.  Jumped on this and it's already back up to $489.  Have friends with this generator and it's great.  $380 would have been a steal.

Shoot, looks like the deal sold out. You can still get the generator, but it is actually cheaper through Home Depot or Sears right now ($469)

I went to an ASU tailgate with a friend last year.  We used his generator for a number of things....I wonder how I got through 10 years of USF tailgates without a generator....

I used to have one in my former life (pre-divorce) but left everything behind when we split, including the generator. I wasn't even going to get one, but between the price and the memories of the good times we had at tailgates with frozen drinks, watching TV, and playing Guitar Hero,  I decided to take the plunge again.

I have a Ryobi power inverter.  Spent about $500 on it.  I can tell you for a fact it works great. Will power anything you need for tailgating.  I have several TVs hooked up to it and the satellite dish.  Very quiet and starts on the first pull (just like me)

This sounded like a good deal.  Another option is a large marine battery and inverter.  I've had the same one for the last few seasons and run a tv, fan & music off of it without any issues.

This is what I do when I go camping. Works great and no noise.

So i bit the bullet and bought the Wen generator for full price due to all the glowing reviews.  Did a test run of all things tailgating yesterday.  This gen is fantastic, powers a lot and very, very quiet.   Thanks for starting this thread even though I missed out on the daily deal.  Let's play ball!  GO BULLS!
