The Harbor Freight generators work fine. I have an 8750w and have used it for years, has hundreds of hours of use. Due to "public safety power shut offs" two to 4 times a month for the last few years. I am careless about maintaining it. Last time I changed the oil it only drained a few ounces. It is noisy, but most all higher output portable are. One drawback is I use the 220v to power my entire house. 220v output is limited to 30a when it could be more. Looking for a 10-11k myself with 50a 220v. Need to get it soon as Ca banned sale of small gas engine devices here as of next year. Note wattage output with fuel type. Propane output is less than FF and natural gas output is even less than propane. Something that is not normally pointed out.
