Kohler vs Generac Standby Preference? : r/Generator - Reddit
Feb 9, 2023 · Last time I researched air cooled standby generators, the Generac engines were Chinese made.

Any generator at 100% load (or more) will run as you describe. 8kw is small, that’s roughly 60amps@120v, whereas the service to the house is probably 200a@240v .
