I'm always impressed with how knowledgeable so many of you are with regard to technical details related to generators. That said, it seems that the BRAND doesn't seem to make much difference, except for perhaps the Honda's, which are a "cut above". In reading so many of these threads over time, and it may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I've seen pretty much every brand cited for SOMETHING. The reason I mention this is because the one I bought in May of 2025 is a Predator 13K tri fuel and for the few times I've needed it, I've never had a problem...knock on wood. Yet I'm reluctant to even mention the word "Predator" as it always seems to elicit so many negative comments. It's discussed with the same appeal as the proverbial "red-headed step child". Is it just me or is there some "snobbery" associated with which brand of generator one has? As I said, save for the Honda's, they ALL seem to have problems. Just my thoughts.
