What brand of generators are good? Or any alternatives. I need a heavy duty generator. Tell me the price range as well.

I live off the grid and will probably run this 8-12 hours a day.

I want this generator to last If I follow the maintenance without ever having to send it in the shop. Besides usual repairs.

Also any recommended books or websites to learn how to troubleshoot/fix/DIY small engines and generators+generator engines?

That's not even an /out/ doors question that's more like /diy/

What kind of power bank are you going to use? It doesn't sound efficient to just run it for that many hours a day if you have a place set up, it'd be loud, generate exhaust, and you'd burn through a lot of fuel running it that long

Thousands probably. Unless you're going to suck down all the watts it can produce immediately you'll need a bigass battery.

Honda gets good reviews, but dude, don't buy something much bigger than you need. In an emergency you don't need to run an entire house and entertainment system. Just a fridge and sump-pump.

Why a generator?

When I was getting my beachhouse/bugout location set up I found solarpanels and a battery bank much more cost-effective.

Most brands are about the same, parts wise, if the engine is the same displacement. I lived off grid for 4 years using just a generator for electric. Change the oil. Keep it out of the elements. Use sea foam in it every now and again. Cold starts in winter are a bitch. Check your carbon brushes if you run it that much. Be prepared to buy alot of gasoline.
