[ARCHIVED THREAD] - got a free Nikota 3500W, 6.5hp generator, any good?

Posted: 7/18/2013 6:49:48 AM EDT

cant find much about it online, other than it doesn't have a voltage regulator. this is NOT something I would buy (found some shopping results in the $250 range, el cheapo). but it was free, just wondering if I should mess with it or toss it for a real one. it is brand new, never used.

thanks

Sell it on CL, then get what you would buy

Pep Boys was just about the only store that was selling "Nikota" branded generators, a couple of years ago.

(Have you ever seen Pep Boys sell anything that was worth a poot?)

They were also sold by Costco; I bought one. Honda clone engine. I haven't used it much but so far so good.

free is good. Even if you only keep it for a back up.

Keep it until the next big storm: it'll be worth a quick $300-400
