My general recommendation is to find a local dealer that sells generators.
It would be a better alternative than the big box stores who dictate specs to
the manufacturer so they can lower the price, which is almost exclusively by
sacrificing quality.
They should also be able to offer hands-on advice and provide service when
needed.
There is a whole world outside of the Home Depots/CostCo's/SamsClubs/Etc.
filled
with alternatives and selection.

You guys always seem to know what to buy and what to avoid...
Portable gas generator: I've got a Cummins hooked to my house and it has a
Chinese gasoline motor. It works okay but I was surprised when I saw the
motor. Now I'm thinking of buying a generator for my farmer son to use as a
back-up to run produce coolers in an emergency. Costco has a 9500 watt
generator on sale. But....it's got a Chinese motor and the machine is
assembled in China.
I know what Frank would have said. But, what say you? Any recommendations?
