We have been using the Coleman 11.5kw units with the Honda Industrial
engine with good sucess. It is a standby unit but is quiet and carries a
3 year 1500 hour warranty regardless of inverter controlled or not. Be
carefull with Generacs warranty as typically the off grid client does
not use them for stand-by!
