I don't know about others but I would NOT buy a generator or any electrical appliance without it being UL approved. Too much at risk. UL approval tells me that it is safe to hook up to my appliances, Not-UL-approved tells me my appliance is at risk and it could have electrical problems and my house could go up in an electrical fire.

This is from a lay perspective, but one of the first things I look for when I buy something electrical is that UL approval sticker. Now, some of you may know better than I, about how much interest there would be for non-UL-approved items, but from my perspective, I would think they would be hard pressed to sell many of those generators in the U.S. without that UL sticker.
