Lets talk generators
I will preface this thread by saying the Honda eu generators are by far the top of the line. With that said, and with all the new technology in the past few years, aren't some of the Chinese knock ...

There are 5 campers in our group that regularly camps/fishes together. Three of them went with Champions, one went with dual 2000 inverter (older stackable style), while the other two went with the 3500/4000. The two 2000s wouldn't run his air conditioner, which surprised me. I loved that they were stackable, and was considering buying them just for that.
Now they are all using the Harbor Freight Predators.
Two of us are still using our 2000 Hondas, and all told we have probably spent less on generators than they have. This is over the course of ten years, but one of the EU2000s has lost a lot of compression, but it easily has over 5,000 hours on it.
There are several things I like about the Predators, and I hope they last as well as they look.
Side story, two years ago I bought some cheap hour meters and we put them on our Hondas, and we were shocked how quickly the hours add up, and how we weren't changing the oil nearly enough. The 2000 with low compression has over 1000 hours on the hour meter.
