I buy the long term protection on everything I buy at harbor freight. I
have one literally 750 yards from my house so they are convenient.
For this generator, two year's worth of insurance is $79, which doesn't seem too bad.
I would read that contract very closely. I bet they have an out if it
simply wears out. Otherwise contractors would be burning up a couple a
year and getting them replaced.
A prairie builder usually won't get a year out of a very good
generator but they may put 1500-2000 hours on one by then.
I would not expect to put more than a couple hundred hours a year on it. I'll run it a couple hours
every month, and maybe take on a long trip. That's the expectation, anyway. A good ol' hurricane
could modify that.
