IMO, I find it hard to believe that anyone would choose a Generac or any other over Hon or Yammy to save a lousy 150 bucks. If you ever go to sell, that will be chicken feed.

Well lets see,$200 to someone on a fixed income can buy a lot of camping,chicken feed it is not.
Not everyone buys something with intent of selling.

The difference is only 111.00. THe Hondas sell quickly for good money used... The Generacs will not.
I've been on a "fixed income" for quite a few years now but I bought a used Honda EU2000i a few years ago for the usual reasons - recharging our trailer battery and powering the trailer itself when dry camping. I didn't buy it planning to sell it but did a couple of years later after we sold the trailer and it seemed we weren't going to get back in anytime soon ... and despite the premium price a Honda inverter series genset demands, new or used, I got all my $$$$ investment back. :B
Within a year we changed course and bought our current couple's trailer so I once again bought another used Honda EU2000i, knowing that should our plans change and I wanted to sell this one I'd stand a pretty darned good chance once again of getting all my $$$$ investment back. Well over the winter we've decided to alter course a bit and won't need the genset so despite the fact we're still in the midst of winter here in Canada I placed an ad on Kijiji in the RV section and
within 3 hours had a firm offer at full price.
Used generators in this part of the world are a dime a dozen BUT if you want a good used Honda EU2000i you gotta move fast 'cause otherwise the only guaranteed way you're going to get one of these gensets is to cough up full price for a brand new one, currently $1399 Cdn + PDI + freight + 13% tax. :E. Believe it - used Honda EU2000i gensets sell like hotcakes, anything else is hard to give away. Been there, done that twice now. ;)
