[RE-wrenches] Winco

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Hi Drake,

Is the Winco the one that is sold at costco? If so, I have used that for
clients during wildfires. I buy a truckload (4) and try to keep it full all
summer.

Never tried AGS because I do not have liability for ags gensets. Too many
people have been sued for fire damage with auto start.

The genset is as reliable as you can expect in this price range, 700 -
$900. Sould last 5 years and I have seen costco take them back, well used.

I am not a fan of gensets and many of my folks do not own one in the south
west. People do need them for various reasons even here. Good Luck!
