Interesting, I hadn't heard that yet. I have ongoing projects with generators being installed by both companies, I'll have to make some calls to the local reps to see what's going to happen.

As an aside, the founder of Generac, Robert Kern, was in the news recently - he and his wife just donated $67 million to the Mayo Clinic for a research center.

Just curious why you don't like generac?

They are the bottom feeders of the industry. Famous for using offshore / grey market engines and removing all manufacturer's markings and serial numbers. If you want a part, it has to come from Generac... I've had to pay $4500 or more for parts such as water pumps that run you $400 - $800 for a Cummins or Cat... half that for aftermarket. They've taken built in obsolescence to a whole new level.
