We put in a Generac 26 KW generator a couple years ago, natural gas/propane. Seems to be reliable, comes on as required, so far no complaints. Things to consider: not cheap. Generac is proprietary for everything. It has to be their product, oil, filters, heaters...everything, or won't honor the warranty. I've been told they will analyze the oil if the engine fails, to ensure it was their oil. The generator has to be installed by a Generac trained technician/dealer...or warranty is void. Their app is so-so. Techs have to trained at Generac to work on their machines.

Good things, reliability, customer support, they do have an app, trained techs.

We had a power outage, 24 hr+, before we purchased the generator. We live in a remote area, not having power isn't an option (electric medical devices). Plus, we travel, and didn't want to come home to a freezer of rotten meat. Power company admits keeping a consistent grid is challenging due to terrain and staffing. We could have bought solar with batteries, but the overall cost was significantly more than the NG generator. Plus, electricity was less than $90/mo.

Overall, for peace of mind/comfort, no regrets.
