    I want to get a 5kw diesel generator.

    I'm looking at two brands at the moment:

    SDMO 6000 E which has a Kohler diesel engine and
    Pramac 6000s which has a Yanmar diesel engine, the Pramac is 1 or 2 hundred cheaper.

    Anybody got experience with these brands or know which would be the better ?

    I work as an electrician for a large semi state company and we use a lot of köhler generators as standby generators. Some of them are well over 20 years old and I've yet to see them fail to start or give any hassle during their weekly tests.
