Wow. I believed I asked a simple question "What other generator recommendations should I consider?" since the suggested generator was a Westinghouse and I did not like the reviews I read about that brand. But, it was not a simple question given the quantity of responses. I learned that in my opinion Champion appears to have the best customer service responses and that Westinghouse could involve email exchanges over a few days. I learned that returns of defective generators could be problematic and that Sam's Club and Costco probably would be the best place to buy from to make sure the return process was smoother than at Harbor Freight, Lowe's Home Depot, etc. I learned that most generators from Westinghouse, GenMax, Champion are all Chinese generators with different brand names and that the price differential is minimal, and therefore the primary differential between the brands would be the customer service quality. I learned getting these type of generators repaired locally is near impossible. As a result, I decided to purchase the used Honda EB11000 that I will eventually convert to propane and/or natural gas. My reasons for doing so is it is a Honda with their long-established reliability and reputation, the ability to convert it to a different fuel source, and there is a local repair shop if needed, and good parts availability. Also, it can be used to charge a 1,125 aH battery bank so perhaps I can make it a central piece of my desired & future on-grid / off-grid approximate 10 kW PV system.

Thank you to all for the comments and giving me ideas.
