I have the Powerhouse 2700/2800 and a Champion 3500/4000. I have had no problems whatsoever with the Powerhouse, and it will be my choice for my next gennie (I may buy the little 450). I would add that the Powerhouse products show a level of design and engineering above anything else out there.
I am aware of some reports of QC issues, at least with the early ones, but I have not seen any issues myself. And while Powerhouse does have a customer service center with real people, it is no where near the level of Champion customer service, which is easily the best.
While I love my Champion 3500, their early inverter models had both QC issues and engineering issues which they have since resolved or improved. But at this point I am no fan of their cube-shaped gennies, and MUCH prefer the luggable (80 lbs) suitcase-shape of the 2700.
FWIW, it's nice to see people finally calling the yellow Champions the equal of the Red Hondas and blue Yamahas. But even a couple years ago people were cursing Champions simply because they were new to the market.
IMO, the same is true now of the black Powerhouse gennies. Some of the models show a remarkable level of design and engineering, and I am confident that in a few years they too will be accepted in the marketplace.
