I am a generator hater. Here is why:
1. Kipor 2800 T--$1300 fob Regina lasted 9 years, four repairs.
2. Boliy $1400 FOB Florida lasted less than 3 months
3. Yamaha 2800 with a Pinella remote $3400 fob Regina Stolen
4. Yamaha 2800 with Pinella remote, and security cage $4300 fob Regina. Broke a weld on the rear bumper, so I'm having that fixed soon. I.E. a new bumper made from two 102" x 3" x 3" steel welded to the main frame. It won't be cheap--but it won't break this time round.
The figures above do not include fuel, oil or maintenance.
OR you could have bit the bullet in the first place & invested in a light weight Honda EU2000i (now the even better EU2200i) inverter generator and likely run it for 20 yrs with little more than regular oil changes. :W
