Don't scrimp on it!!! That price seems a bit too high, also, for that size unit.
At the risk of waking up all of the naysayers on this board, I'll mention I have a Generac 10KW peak, 8KW run. I bought it at Menard's for about $900. Before I bought it, a friend who works for a local electrical company and I went through our house and estimated it would take 6KW to run most everything in the house. I've had it running with everything in the house on except the A/C and the clothes dryer and nary a whimper out of it. I've had it 7 years, and the only problem is the battery went kaput last year.
I think the biggest mistake people make is they try to save a few bucks and buy too small a unit. They say they'll only have maybe a couple of lights on and run the furnace occasionally. Then they add a few more things, wind up running the generator close to its peak instead of the run wattage, and get upset when they have premature failures with it.
Do yourself a favor, too, and have an electrician install a proper three way switch.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
