Hmmmm. $2000 vs $700. Or you could get 2 Champion 2000s for about half of the Honda price.

That’s not the whole picture.
I had two EU2000s for 12 years and decided to sell them and buy a new pair.
NOT that I needed to, the old ones still worked perfectly.
I got $1400 for the pair, then ordered a new pair for $1800.

It effectively cost about $400 to own two EU2000s for 12 years. That’s cheap!

Also, you can easily order any part for a Honda. Every last washer or rubber bumper.
In fact most pieces you can just go pick right up at a local Honda power equipment dealer.

Try all that with a Champion.
I’m not saying the Champion isn’t a great deal or that it’s not a good set, I’m just pointing out the Honda isn’t a bad deal either.

Or, if you bought the two champions, you could put the extra $400 in the bank. As for parts, Champion is very responsive and CS friendly. When I got my generator, the air box was broken. I called them, talked to a real person, and the free replacement was in my generator two days later, along with getting another free filter. No complaints. I have honda stuff. Love our Ruckus scooter. My dealers never have anything but spark plugs and oil filters in stock. Everything else seems to be a special order.
