Yet another "Is this generator a good one" thread

Sams Club is advertising this 2200 watt inverter generator for $399. I have a Honda 2000 watt, but for that price, I might be interested.
Is this one in any way comparable to the Honda? Can this one be paralleled with a Honda?

(For $30 less you can get a gasoline only version.)

    As was said, this is a Chinese-made clone that is marketed with different brand names.
    Suggest you find out who does warranty work on it.
    And I would NEVER risk my Honda 2000i, attempting to parallel it to one of these.

    These are a generic commodity. Just buy them on the specification you need.
    I would not parallel with my Honda.

    It is an off brand Chinese import that will have no customer support, service, or parts availability. Whenever any small problem develops, you will have to fix it yourself. Whenever any big problem develops that you cannot fix yourself, you will just have to throw this one in the trash.
