Default 6KW quiet cabinet diesel...

At 3600 RPM and air cooled, it's not likely to have super longevity



But, then again, at $1500, approximately 1/4 the cost of the usual diesel
genset in this class, you can replace it 4 times to the break-even point,
spreading out your operating cost over many years, not at at the outset.

Others have posted about the company that made it. The company has an
ISO9003 certification for quality. The longer it runs this weekend, the
more impressed I've become that it's not the junk the Chinese are famous
for.

Remember when you bought something Korean or Taiwanese or Japanese and it
was made of tin cans? Now, they make the finest machines on the
planet...cars, ships, trains, manufacturing machines, earth moving
equipment. I think the Chinese, now operating more of a capitalistic
business environment, are headed down that same road.....with millions of
slaves to make it happen.

I still can't believe it costs $1600 microdollarettes and starts right
up! Converting 1600 2007 dollars to 1970 dollars would put this diesel
genset at $US320 in 1970. They were never that cheap.
