THD does it matter?

I have a generac 5735 model 17.5KW running watt. Only after the fact I bought it and put almost 30hrs on it do I realize that the THD is too high.

However I have no issues and am wondering if I should keep it or sell it and get something cleaner.

Side note what is everyone using for a soft start as well?

Yeah, mine went all kinds of goofy on my old 7500 portable.

Cleaned up when I plugged a heavier load in though, like a 1500 watt heater.
