I just finished assembling the Nikota I picked up yesterday from Costco. It is different than the one pictured a few pages back by Hawklover. The control panel is on the side of the frame rather than on the End of the generator head. Duplex outlet, on/off switch, two push to reset breakers, ac volt meter, 120/240 selector switch and a ground post. Motor and literature shows Jiangdong as manufacturer. Schematic is identical to the one posted by Hawklover.
Literature & box says it's distributed by American Power Products The only generator listed on their site is different than the Costco and is "Factor Refurbished". I think this is unlikely due to the logistics involved returning it to China. In fact everything on their site is refurbished so I suspect they distribute "firsts" thru Costco and others and sell the returns on their web site. The Costco one is not advertised as refurbished.
I'll try for a picture tomorrow. Local Costco and one in Cincinnati had same model. Still $279.
