# Although I have a Best 3kva (I wish I had a 10kva), I can infer that

I agree whole-heartedly with this.  I've had one of their 5kva units for
a little over two years, and continue to be quite impressed with both the
unit and the company.  It's a pleasure dealing with them.

When I was shopping around a couple of years ago, the Best units were
actually a little bit _cheaper_ than any of the others I found, and
certainly much smaller, cooler, quieter, and more featureful than any
of the others.  Their prices have been going steadily down for the last
couple of years, too.

I have no relationship to Best other than as a _very_ satisfied customer.
