I had a Winco 9000W generator up until last month, it was 11 years old when I got it. The model I had came with a 16 HP Briggs and Stratton Twin cylinder gas engine. During the Sandy outage the fuel pump failed, no big deal, $25 part. This was a commercial rated unit and man the thing was a beast in weight, really too heavy in my opinion.

Worked well but deafening loud noisy machine, had to wear ear protection even with it 100 feet away when outside.

Replaced it with a Honda EM6500SX, extemely quiet, can stand right next to it and talk to someone. The loudness of the Winco was really not that big a deal to me as I am in the woods with no nearby neighbors. But I really like the quiet of the Honda.

The Honda has automatic choke so if you want to start it with a remote you can, for those nights when it is sitting in water and you are worried about shock hazard

No info on Gillette.
