Harbor Freight/Honda smackdown....

Claim is 57 dba @ 20' a match for the honda.

Tell you what will happen here. The new kid on the block (HF) will cause Honda to lower their price, just like Champion did with Honda (pushed Honda to come out with an open cradle inverter to compete with the Champion open cradle inverter). I have a Champion (now) and I'm 100% happy with it. Under the cabinet, they are all about the same anyway.

being retired, I like my juice on a budget and I don't care what name is on the cabinet, so long as it does what it's supposed to do without issue.

HF's Page and the Manual says 57dB at 25 pct load and 23 foot distance. Should be enough info to compare with HxxxA.

Lets hear the reason???

I have to tell you I was a Honda fan until I had a Honda 13 horse engine toss a rod for me and Honda told me it was my fault because I didn't change the oil. problem is, I did, every 25 hours, so I now had a Japanese paperweight that I replaced with a Predator engine that, I've never had an issue with. needless to say, no more Honda's in my garage or rv.

Not a clue but it's on HF's website I'm sure. Excuse me, 57 Db at 27 feet

There's a reason it's half the price.
