I'm sure the Kohler guy gets asked 90 percent of the time, how does this compare with Generac?
So they absolutely have to say they are better.
Generac really made the home backup market, great marketing, reliable enough product, lots of dealers.
Are Kohler dealers any more professional? Come from engine repair background? My neighbor's son stopped being a
general electrician and went into Generac gens exclusively. That's certainly a good background.
I just wonder if the company sets different standards than Generac.
for example, does one brand have more useful trouble codes than the other, or better testing/tolerances in QC?
Lower THD?
my next door neighbor in NC put in a Kohler. it was reliable too. As was my Generac 22kw.
Which I now see is a 24kw, maybe picked up 5 amps? 1000cc engine. Wonder how much they can bore out that
old Vanguard block...
Too bad Kawasaki didn't get into this market, build a really heavy duty small twin to compete.
And why do we not see Honda twins, which run tons of big powerwashing rigs, run generators? Their small stuff sure does.
Interesting how they choose what markets to be in.
No one ever talks about the electrical end, the generator. Who makes them? Which ones are better? Are they all buying from the same place?
I wonder if Winco makes theirs from scratch. How about efficiency? In engines, Hondas always seemed to put out more power than you expected. Underrated like
German car engines.
I wonder how many of us have taken the cover off our electrical end and looked in there. Usually it's a no user serviceable parts deal, except for the old stuff, we
aren't changing brushes still are we?
From a maintenance standpoint, other than keeping area clean, is there anything we should be doing other than a visual inspection?
