I place Coleman, Generac, North-star and a lot of the small 3600 RPM generators in the wasted $ column. Too many problems, short life, bad wave form, lack of real service, and basically a fine waste of money. I have clients that could not afford a good water cooled generator that have not been through one cheap generator about once every two years.

I'd like to incorporate Coleman Powermate generators in backup systems. They have units in the 5 KW range that have engines that seem fairly sophisticated. They do not have electronic voltage regulators, but appear to have effective governors.
