The Calgary south warehouse had 4 on the shelf, 1 week later there was only the demo left, which I got. They went pretty fast.
Home Depot sells the same Generac generators, but the Costco price was $300 - $400 cheaper.

Very nice, thank you. I really like the idea of natural gas as a fuel. No need to worry about lugging fuel cans or fuel going bad as in a normal generator. Diesel was another option I was considering, but they're more difficult to find and tend to be more costly. With a diesel in a pinch you might be able to run it off vegetable oil.

I use STA-BIL from Canadian Tire to keep fuel long periods (old generator, chainsaw, atv, tractor, etc.). Diesel or regular gas. Veg oil would gel up in the winter, wouldn't it?
