Agreed, though the Generac "fill the oil, check the gas" horror stories were more from the older units 10 years ago. It depends on how and when you will intend to use it. One of my gensets is a Generac, but it's at a location where we hardly ever lose power and for $600 it's a good standby. If I use it twice, I will be both surprised, and satisfied that I got my monies worth.
