If you get a generac, get a water cooled, 1800 rpm unit..
I personally have seen 3 portable racs fail, all due to bad heads.. but you may find it different.
I would and DO run a chinese clone of a honda before a generac.. along with my real honda inverter
Which ChiCom Honda clone are you talking about and where did you buy it from? I'm making my Christmas list right now. Thanks.
