Have you looked at the Honda eu3200is? It is pricey but fuel-injected. It and the Honda eu7000is are the most fuel-efficient gas-powered generators I've been able to find. The 3200is is slightly more efficient than the 7000.

I'd rather buy 2 Predators and be able to put them in series than one Honda for more money.

I have a couple of the little suitcase 2200 watt Hondas and have been very happy with them. I can't speak of other generators as I have not used them, but I would not hesitate to buy the Hondas again over any other brand available. They are costly, but have been ultra reliable.

^^^ THIS ^^^

Lots of other models, wattage size and affordable prices to choose from, too...

For me a big selling feature and a one of the main reasons I went with a WEN is the fuel shut-off feature offered on many of their portable gen sets:


Quote
...The WEN 2500W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan.

Having used a Honda 2000 on a job site, I wanted on. It would run a 77 skillsaw. I thought of cheaper models so I kept an eye on Craigslist. It was not long and a old guy had sold his motor home and was giving up his Honda. I can’t remember if I paid $6-700 for it. It was close to new with cover and manual. Happy with my choice!

If you are looking for a cheaper back up generator, check out

https://westinghouseoutdoorpower.com/collections/generators

https://www.amazon.com/Westinghouse...37vgFfIaV_VtaNybfhoCvHYQAvD_BwE&th=1


I have the harbor frieght generator and my SIL has a westinghouse. I think the westinghouse is better.

Lucky I bought the extended warranty with the harbor freight generator. the generator runs great but I have had the on/off switches go out on 2 of them. Turn them off and they don't shut down. have to choke them to shut them off.

Yo Egg. Northern and Harbor deal the same trash. Probably same owners.

I own both, but in different sizes. Spend the money on the Honda.

I realize your foam filled Ph.ukdoll seems real to you. But that is not the information these Consumers are looking for. Go hose her out and wait for another thread.

Some RV a/c's can't be started with a 2000. They need 2200.
