I have had one for about five years. I chose it for the reliability and how quiet it is. It is really a great unit and can easily run a fridge and TV when the power is out. We used it as our main generator on our 41' sailboat for a year in the Bahamas and then often when we moved ashore on a small island with sketchy power reliability.
I really do not think putting it in an attic is wise. Carbon monoxide can kill easily and the gererator has the potential of starting a fire from the muffler even with the spark arresting muffler.
As far as cord length, the shorter the better. Always use an over-sized cord to be safe on high draw appliances. A good 30 amp cord with spade adapters has served me well.
