Honda, it’s not just the price. It’s the reliability. Turn it on pull the cord and it starts. They don’t overrate their generators, wattage wise most other manufacturers do. That’s been my experience with Onan inverted 2500. I think it was rigid and Generac. My personal opinion the only other generator that compares to a Honda is a Yamaha. I have two EU 2000s one EU 3000 and an old Onan 6500,It’s a screamer though. it’s a bitch to get started without electric start,pull starting sucks….
