Now if only they could start building usable engines, it'd be great.
The “Firman” generators you buy at Costco are honestly fantastic. They have saved my bacon for years on end on a budget since I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet for the privilege of having 1-2 outages per month.
????? i was talking about car engines? Hyundai's Theta engine series has been cursed with design flaws and horrible machining quality for so many years now that I don't really trust any of their vehicles enough to even consider switching to one.
“Firman” and “Hyundai” are the same engine manufacturer. Maybe they suck at scaling up, the small engines I have purchased from them have stood up to a lot of abuse.
