Well it was a hard desicion between the Honda eu2000 and the Yamaha ,But the deciding factor was ,It will run my 13.5 A/C on my camper ,The Yammie is just as quiet or maybe a tad quieter than the honda ,The eu3000 honda was another option and so was the Yamaha 3000 ,But wayyyy to heavy to lug around , It will run all night on a tank of gas and has a handy little inverter for charging batteries ,Use it a lot at deer camp and also with my camper ,All in all I would recomended this generator to all ! yooper1
