Ryobi generators are overpriced to begin with so while this is a decent deal for a Ryobi, you can get a WEN or Pulsar of similar quality for a similar price without any deals.
This generator has more than wen. I bought a 2300/1800 wen 5203i or somewhat and it's very basic, at the price of $400. This one has Bluetooth and cart wheel. I would say it's a good deal for what it is.
Co detector and wheels are nice features but I bought the Westinghouse 2500 watt gen because it's only a bit heavier and has 2200 running watts and 2500 starting watts. Doesn't seem like much but the way I look at it is if I need to run a 1500 watt heater I still have plenty for lights and chargers. My 2c.
Differences: that one is larger, heavier, twice as loud (57 vs 67 db) and not appropriate for camping or RV parks, and also less fuel efficient (3.2Gal tanks yield 12 hours at 50% capacity vs this one with 1.2Gal tank which yields 12 hours @ 50% capacity). At ~$5 a gallon average for non-ethanol fuel that one will cost you roughly 3x or $1 more per hour to run so that $50 savings dries up pretty quickly if you don't need the extra wattage.
