I have always gone for the Japanese inverter generators (Yamaha, Honda, etc.) but recently saw an ad for one from Generac that sounded like good features for the price, may be available at big box stores? Of course they are probably slapping their name on something they OEM from China. Also the run time might have been on the low side, i.e. fuel tank might be on the small side.
The other thing is most of these have warranties for residential use and also are supposed to have the oil changed every 20 hours or something like that. Honestly I’ve run my Honda a lot longer than that and the oil looked like new when I drained it. Yamaha I think sells both residential and commercial models, what do you want to bet it’s the same hardware just with a different price and warranty? Some of the non inverter generators may not produce clean enough voltage, frequency, etc. to satisfy the UPS. I have had APC units go berserk switching on and off batteries every few seconds because it thought the input power was bad, that was with a rental generator meant for running tools at a jobsite.
