In the big picture it’s very affordable. Here’s why I think so:
In the very early 2000s I bought two Honda EU2000s. I used them for 12 years, in some very dirty and corrosive environments. I didn’t really maintain them very enthusiastically.
A couple years ago I decided to put ‘em on Craigslist for $1400, just so I could order myself a brand new pair.
I didn’t need to, they still worked perfectly and if no one paid the full price I’d have gladly just kept them. But they did sell, and I ordered my new pair for $1800.
So, it effectively cost $200 each to have them 12 years.
Now I’m considering trying the same thing again just to upgrade to a set of 2200s.
My favorite thing about running two is that even when one can handle a fairly big load, a pair will do it just barely above idle and is more pleasant sounding.
Hondas are pricey up front but in the long run buying quality usually saves money.
I had no trouble with them and you can go right online and buy literally any part right down to the washers or rubber spacers.
