Don't scrimp on it!!! That price seems a bit too high, also, for that size unit.
At the risk of waking up all of the naysayers on this board, I'll mention I have a Generac 10KW peak, 8KW run. I bought it at Menard's for about $900. Before I bought it, a friend who works for a local electrical company and I went through our house and estimated it would take 6KW to run most everything in the house. I've had it running with everything in the house on except the A/C and the clothes dryer and nary a whimper out of it. I've had it 7 years, and the only problem is the battery went kaput last year.
I think the biggest mistake people make is they try to save a few bucks and buy too small a unit. They say they'll only have maybe a couple of lights on and run the furnace occasionally. Then they add a few more things, wind up running the generator close to its peak instead of the run wattage, and get upset when they have premature failures with it.
Do yourself a favor, too, and have an electrician install a proper three way switch.
