SmarterTools 2000IQ Inverter Generator review (short)

[VTR]

Well, I have had this generator for going on 4 years. Bought it at Costco for around 569.00. It seems Costco Is not carrying it anymore, and they have another that is all orange, I forget the name and not looking anyway. The SmarterTools has been perfectly reliable. All I do is empty it of gas and change the oil when not in use. I became lazy last year and just ran it off and on, did change the oil. It has the Yamaha engine, there has been discussion about it in several threads. Now I am wondering who can tell us about there's There has to be a few people who own one. This generator works well at high altitudes, we have property at well above 8000 thous. feet. It has become old reliable for us. Anyone else?
I know someone is going to come along and say, "just wait" it will fall apart.

A Home Depot nearby will service it, which is great.

I purchased two through Costco last March have only used one while we were in Alaska worked fine. Did get the companion cable may need it in the future.

Just wait. It will fall apart.:B

I looked when Costo sold them, but didn't buy one. I probably made a mistake.
