Anybody still wondering why good, respectable members are turning away from this forum? No, nothing wrong with this forum unless you have thin skin, I much rather have a forum like this than having admins and moderators censoring free speech. I vote Honda, talked with a couple ranchers today, they favored Champion over Predator. I like my Champion they have a good reputation with their generators.

For $500, I'd prefer this Champion 2400 from Cabelas CHAMPIONThat said, I do have a Predator post hole digger that I bought a few years ago. For occasional use, it works find. Predator engines seem to work well but parts can be a problem. For low use where you'll never wear it out, they seem to do ok.

Predator and I've used the Honda and Generex also. had to rebuild the carburetor on the Generex. Why spend more when the predator does the same thing for less money unless you're trying to impress folks by spending more?

"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."
Same here. I didn't buy the extended warranty and it didn't fail until after the regular warranty lapsed so I took it apart myself. Harbor Freight would do nothing except say I should have bought the warranty.
All I did was unplug/replug one connection I could get to but it has shutoff with the switch ever since. If it fails again I'll just go back to turning the on/off switch to "start" which chokes it to a stop.
Not much room to work on the internals the way everything is compacted in there. I could hardly get my fingers in to move wire harnesses around to try and trace a ground wire
Otherwise it works good.

I am still using the 5kw TroyBilt generator that FEMA bought for me after Hurricane Katrina tore things up in Miami, back in 2005. Still starts on the first pull. Noisy little bastard though.

The neighbors bought a Harbor Freight 220v model. The power went out so they had me fire it up. The gas line leaked, it was very noisy , and does not idle down. The owner does not like it. Everyone has their own standards, so if it works for you , it’s all that matters.

If you want a generator when you need one.....Honda.
If you want to say you have a generator......Predator.
If you could have either one for free, which one would you take? Why ?

I’ve been doing the research on this myself. There is no doubt that Honda is first rate, but the Predators get really good reviews from lots of people. There are threads on other forums talking about how good they are.

I have two of the Powerhorse 2300 inverter generators.I can hook them together if I need more power.They are well built and very comparatable to the Honda.I've used the Honda's before at work and I can't tell the difference between the two.I bought mine after Hurricane Harvey and used it for four days until my power was restored.I bought one for my Aunt and Uncle in Rockport,ground zero for Harvey.They used it and mine for two weeks until their power was restored.I bought my second one after the Texas Ice Age Storm of 2021.After realizing how much I was depending on one unit not failing during those critical times,for the price,I felt it was worth buying a second one for back up.Since the newest one had a two year warranty,I drained the fuel and changed the oil on the older one and have it stored in the box the new one came in.I keep mine by my back door with ethanol free gas and fuel stabilizer ready to go anytime I have a power outage.This generator will run about eight hours on a tank of gas that's about a gallon.

Some years ago before the 2200 came out I bought two Honda 2000 models, one standard and the other the "Companion" model, and the parallel kit to jump them together for running the AC on RVs. I bought them at different times, lightly used and in great condition in the $800 range. I have never regretted getting them for one minute, flawless performance.

We run four honda 2000 they might be 2200, don't remember, two are 8 years old the other two are two years old. Anyway we power conveyors harvesting algae out of the lake. Those things run 10 to 12 hour days, for three months out of the year. We always use startron in the fuel. They are running 3/4 horse motors, with a 100 to one gear box. They also run the lights, during night harvest. Big led light bars front and both sides. So I would vote Honda. About 15 years ago, Champion built a new factory to make generators. To date they make and sell about a dozen other branded generators. Just because it's not yellow doesn't mean it isn't built by champion. Most of the champion built for others are 3500 or more watts. I would buy Honda, and never look back.
