Harbor Freight Predator portable generator
Harbor Freight compares this 2000 watt portable generator to the Honda one, and it's half the price. Has anyone used it, and were you happy with it? Thanks!!

Now this was a great laugh! Thank you! :BTomG2 wrote:
We are hooked on $6.00 hammers. If people want to spend $28.00 to pound a few nails, they are available, but not nearly as popular. I remember when "Made in Japan" was a signature for junk. Honda, inc. changed all that.
IIRC, I paid about $2.99 for my HF hammers.

I would bet that a bunch of this "junk" comes off the same lines as the "premium" stuff that you pay 3 times as much for.

You are correct sir......such as Lowe's Kobalt stuff and Home Depot Husky stuff.- I would bet that a bunch of this "junk" comes off the same lines as the "premium" stuff that you pay 3 times as much for.

Hush up there. :W
My stick hoe genny back up from HF hasn't failed in years. - I've had the champion 2000s, 2 of them with the link for pairing them together, for almost three years now and have had no problems. I paid $469 a piece on sale and with the link and tax it was a little over a grand out the door. I've had Honda inverter gennier to compare them with and for the money, it was a no brainer.

If money is a driving factor, and you're looking at inverter generators I'd seriously consider the little Champion 2000. More often than not you can pick them up for $499, they have a proven track record of being reliable, with good customer support, and you can get parts for them if needed. Noise wise they're same as the Hondas. Just a possible option...
Absolutely! A good friend has one with over 3,000 hours. And this is coming from a guy with 4 genny's.a Honda eu2000i, a Honda EX 350, a Sam's powerhouse 2200 inverter and a Champion 3500/4000.- Have the Powerhorse. Great gen. VERY quiet.
