Here is a copy of Consumer Reports take on portable generators from Oct 2015. They show only the recommend generators of a larger number tested.
The #2 Ridgid is not shown in the current online ratings, don't know why. The Kohler is #2 in the online ratings.
I decided to buy from a local business, not a big box store. Ended up with the Kohler at NuWave Electric in Laconia. They do Kohler service right there. In test runs all of the electronics were happy as well as were the microprocessor controlled pellet stove and heat pumps.
