We have a 5000W Devilbiss (6250W surge) with a Briggs & Stratton engine that we have been pretty happy with. In addition to being run about 10 hours a day for the 5 days we were without power in Dec 2004 and for shorter periods several times (including use as portable 110VAC for power tools around the farm), my unofficial brother-in-law has borrowed it a few times to provide remote electrical power for his business (custom awning manufacture & installation). We got it at TSC. The one time we thought it was broke, it wasn't (free lesson on oil level safety switch).

One thing I noticed when we were generator shopping - there was nearly a 3:1 difference in price for different generators from different places with the same capacity. IMHO this is another reason deciding which generator to purchase should be a considered decision, rather than an last minute foray, if possible. Whether you want to go cheap or go name brand, the first place you look at may not have what you want at the best price.
