My search for a generator
I'm a bargain hunter/cheapskate! Co worker of mine is talking about getting 2 powerhouse generators and parallel them together when he needs more power. He rec I get a powerhouse 1k and 2k that way...

I did notice that when I test fired the powermaster for my bud in a parking lot he thought it was real quiet. His only generator experience is when he borrowed a non inverter generator 10 years ago.
When I tested the eu2000i this morning I had it on the side of my house which is only about 12 feet from my neighbors. Let it run with maybe 800-1000 watts through a portable heater and was not impressed. I then put it on the sidewalk in front of the house with Eco on and off and still was not impressed.
My buddies 3000 had not been started since November, his battery was dead so he pulled it once and it started right up. I asked him if he pressed the bulb and he said its didnt have one, I was in shock!
I have no doubt that the Honda will give me years of reliable use, but now I'm concerned having to run 2 2000's for ac will be unbearable and be better off with a cheaper 3000+
Maybe I've just got very good hearing:)
Also, the Honda 3000 is rated a db or 2 less than the 1000 and 2000, but it was a very noticeable difference to me. Keep in mind, I have not heard them side by side, might make a video this weekend.
His 3000 was so quiet I called the guy on Craigslist as I was backing out of his driveway and had a new generator within 2 hours.
Hope I'm not coming off as a whiner.
