SAM's has an 8,000/10,000 watt electric start portable generator for $594 and FREE shipping. The brand is Gentron and it is made in China. Looks like it has the Chinese built Honda clone engine. Pricewise this is a good deal. Does anybody have one of these or know anything about them?
We have a Briggs & Stratton generator now that actually belongs to my son in law. It does not have electric start. I pull my guts out cranking the thing. Starts on second pull every time BUT my wife could never start it. I am being a little morbid here but as we are 63 years old I am looking at things I buy to see if she could use it if I were gone or incapacitated. This really sank in because I am on a 10 pound weight limit for the next four weeks then 20 pounds for three more.
This deals compares favorably with generators from Harbor Freight as far as price. It is hundreds less than anything Home Depot, Lowes, or TSC have. I have learned the hard way and store my equipment only with non ethanol gas in them. I also change the oil and do other maintenance on a regular basis so the upkeep on the 'Chonda' engine does not worry me.
Any information would be appreciated.
