   if you compare the cost/benefit ratio as the evaluating factor then yes, theyre good. theyll last for casual use...and i know people who use them professionally. one i know of used professionally wore out its piston rings after i dont know how long and the engine wouldnt provide any compression.
   
   i personally use a troy-bilt and a honda generator.

   Harbor Freight Tools, a family-owned and operated company founded in 1977 by Eric Smidt's father, is the maker of Predator generators.

   
   here...ill provide some translation services for you:
   
   

   Where Are Predator Generators Made?
   Harbor Freight’s Predator Generators are designed in Calabasas, California at our state-of-the-art design center and built by our industry’s leading manufacturers of tools. By searching worldwide, Harbor Freight is able to create relationships with some of the industry’s leading manufacturers of tools. We work closely with each of our partners to ensure that all of our products are safe to use and will last our customers for years to come. In most cases these manufacturers are the same ones that produce products for other big name brands, but because we buy directly from them and sell directly to our customers, our prices are much more competitive.

   
   note the wording they use:
   
   

   Harbor Freight’s Predator Generators are designed in Calabasas, California

   
   designed. the generators are designed in california
   
   

   …built by our industry’s leading manufacturers of tools. By searching worldwide, Harbor Freight is able to create relationships with some of the industry’s leading manufacturers…

   
   built. the generator is built somewhere ambiguous. they specifically dont state where the generator is manufactured because the company outsources the manufacturing to whatever factory in whatever country will provide the lowest cost of production. whether that is china...indonesia...taiwan...malasia...whothefuckknowswhere...
   
   a key takeaway here is they dont directly answer the question and instead reply with vagaries and distraction.

   we have one up the road from us. i'm gonna go in there this week sometime when I deliver in that area. and run in. I wanna see if it says made in china or other.
   
   but it would only be for part time use when I stay there.
   
   I just want to go a few times a year and stay a couple of weeks, make sure that the plants are getting watered properly and that no meth-heads or hippies are using it for a crash den.
   maybe one day I'll be forced to live there more frequently. but if I keep this property its close to Reno so I can always just spend a day of the week seeing a movie or play slots and eat buffet like the average old fuck. I just don't want to have to rent for the rest of my life. even if its just some dusty barn off grid. better than spending what i have every-month giving it to someone else.
   Im getting old so I want to start growing some bamboo and maybe some windmill palms because it's typical california over the invasive sage weed/tumble weed that grows there. need a well obviously. and a giant reservoir to feed the plants. might grow some grapes on it too.
   
   if it works out OK i'll buy more land.

   But also fuck Black Friday. It’s like we have one non-commercial holiday that’s wholesome and good so it gotta follow it up with mindless slobbering consumerism just to wash the possibility of anything pleasant off our collective palate

   
   whjy is there still a black friday they have a whole fucking month now
