How does the Onan portable generator compare to the lower cost generators in the home improvement stores?
Onan portable generators are designed for continuous heavy duty commercial use where long life and reliable operation is vital. This is accomplished by using proven manufacturing techniques and top quality components. Many corners could be cut to reduce the cost of the unit, but there would be a tradeoff in the life of the product. The Onan product is backed by the largest service and parts network in the area. Other manufacturers may require the product be sent back to them for repair which can take several weeks to perform.
