If you own or are considering buying a 30 amp generator I would like to know which one is quiet when running or what you like about the one you own. I will be carrying it in the back of my truck.Thank you ahead of time for your help.

Is heavy to load by myself, but I love my Honda EU3000i. Super quiet, minimal vibration, simple oil changes, typical Honda reliability. My FIL also has a EU3000i and feels the same way.

I love my Honda 2000. Can't run too much on it but you sure can charge the batteries, watch TV, etc. Just no heavy duty stuff.

Add one vote for the Honda 3000. Runs much longer than two 2000's on a tankful. Ours also ride in the back of the truck. We added a front power inlet to run the generator while driving. A rotary selector switch keeps the factory power cord from being energized when the genny is running.

Class leader that it is the Honda EU3000iS isn't a 30 amp generator nor are even a pair of EU2000i gensets. 30 amps x 120 volts = 3600 watts which neither solution can provide. Also, note there are two distinct 3000 watt Honda inverter gensets - the exceptionally quiet electric start EU3000iS and the lighter and much noisier EU3000i, known in the US as the Handi and here in Canada as the EU3000iK - two entirely different animals. Regardless, if the OP truly wants a 30 amp generator then neither of these 3000 watt Honda inverter generators is it but the super quiet, fuel injected Honda EU7000iS certainly would be, along with the Yamaha EF4500ise. :B
