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.


That's exactly what I do at HF.. I buy stuff, and I use it. They know me
and know when I go out the door, I will be back if the tool won't do
what is is guaranteed to do. Never any questions, never any hassles.


My experience at Harbor fright is if you buy their top of the line
tool, it is OK for casual homeowner use but their economy stuff is
only worth the melt weight of the steel.


I've noticed their items that say "Rugged, Heavy Duty construction"
Then I look at the pic and think if that product is 'rugged and heavy
duty' I'd hate to see what the cheap flimsy stuff is...
