Can a Harbor Freight Generator Really Beat a Honda?

The name brand will hold its value much longer if you might have to sell it. People love Kubota but I bought the other orange Kioti. Kioti is a solid tractor and in some ways I think it is better than a Kubota but you can't beat a Kubota for resale. Harbor freight has garbage electronic stuff. Infrared heat gun...failed in less than two years. Borescope...failed in 6 months and I hardly used it. I own a Honda but I'm a Yamaha fan myself. Yamaha wasn't on the inverter genny bandwagon when I bought mine. The HF fans crack me up when they brag on some YT video about the great deal BUT they have to make all these tweaks to it to make it work. It reminds of the Kawasaki KL650 motorcycle crowd talking about how much cheaper it is than Yamaha or Honda yet then they have to add $2K in aftermarket farkles to make it a decent bike. Speaking of Honda, I need to load mine up for a road trip. :)
