I use a Honda 2000, on a daily basis as a homebuilder. It runs eight hours a day, sitting in the mud, snow or on a gravel pile. It has spent days in the pouring rain, seen a few snow storms, and got peed on by a dog. After three years, the case is banged up a bit, it needs a tune-up and an oil change. As for a rain cover......seriously? Don't forget to knit a little sweater for it too....it's chilly out.
Sounds like my pair of Honda 2000. Only difference is mine are about 15 years old. Only problem I've had is when the temps get down in the low teens and they are cold soaked over night. They are more a bit cranky especially when they have summer oil in them.
I have the same experience with my pair of Honda 2000s. The only difference is mine are only 12 years old. They have spent many weekends running in the rain.
That is a big reason I recommend a Honda over a cheap brand. I chuckle to myself over people that will spend tens of thousands on an rv, then cheap out on a generator.
