Just saw this. Bought a slightly smaller one for my mom about 10 years ago, transfer switch and all about $4000. I bought Kohler because Kohler, they had/have a great name. Some things
1) There was no warranty available unless initial startup/commissioning was done by certified Kohler tech. It was about $500, they were extremely thorough, updated software etc., it took 2 1/2 hours and I was happy I found one willing to make the drive (1 hr each way).
2) We had a lot of computer issues the first year, a lot. The control module was replaced 2 or 3 times, all under warranty. The computer control puts it outside the realm of a handy guy doing it himself.
3) Smooth sailing ever since. Total cost, concrete pads for two tanks and the genset, plumber, electrician, unit, misc was $11,200.
Do whatever you can to get a warranty if they will.
