I used both this year with our ice storm and 4 days without power. I use them in the summer to keep the necessary things running when we have electrical storms that knock out power.

I have had zero problems with mine and have used both to power my stick welder when I am out in the field building or repairing fence.
Like others have said, if it breaks and you can't "farmer brown" fix it, buy another. Cheaper than the name brands.
