How so Slack?

Well, I say that partially in jest because the air-cooled Generacs had a ton of problems when they first started manufacturing their own engines. However, I hear they are much improved nowadays so take my comment with a grain of salt.

Kohler has been manufacturing high-quality engines for a variety of uses for a long time and their generators are known to be among the best. Plus, their online app is great for getting a status, keeping track of maintenance, etc. (Generac may have caught up here too -- not sure). The only negative is there are fewer authorized dealers. I've been super happy with mine after seven years and runs a house with four AC units, etc.

My ONE piece if advice regardless of which you choose: make sure you use synthetic oil if you do the maintenance yourself.
