‹(•¿•)› CONSUMER WARNING DO NOT BUY A CENTURIAN BY GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS INC HOME GENERATOR

[cbostic817]

Not that you should....but why don't you simply repaint it if the machine works well?

[whoooru]

...just Junk

[whoooru]

as the old saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'..owning a generac, a rusty housing should be the least of your concerns!..i have seen and heard more horror stories of 'their' cheap (china made parts) engines popping with little hours on them

[jameslee522]

So did the rust keep it from working? What? NO? Shut up!

[zija777]

James if you had a "Yamaha R1" or a new Toyota automobile that was new and rusty but it still worked would you shut up? I think not.

GENERAC LOOKS PERTY JUNKY

[voltxpert]

Looks like the consumer SNAFU. A dealer / qualified installer would have suggested the aluminum enclosure for your area. But it does cost more for higher quality enclosure. Must have been purchased @ the box store huh?

[tocaracer06]

i wouldnt be freaking out because its rusting, i would of put a cover on it before storing it

[hvguy]

put it under an awning?

if it still makes the required amount of power, I could care less what it looks like.

[KillerJoeFIN]

Normal*

[KillerJoeFIN]

Just norman usa quality...

I just upgraded my 8kw to 20kw same style, aluminum case, no problems here.

Sounds like you need to talk to your installer/dealer and find out whats going on, its probably your geographic location as stated above. If that doesn't work take it to court, don't knock great generators, mine has saved my butt twice this year with two week-long outages.

I live in the Ozarks, lots of rain, lots of humidity, 5 years into my first centurion I have seen no signs of oxidation.

how close is this generator to the coast?

If it had been aluminum, it would not rust.

[mrredman333]

you must near the ocean or salt water, the aluminum series does not rust.
