Generator Dilemma: Need Advice
I might be in a unique position of owning three generators.
I only need one.
Which one should I keep?

- Just like asking which is the best beer. I would go with the quiet one if it has enough power to do the job.

The rarest a one of the bunch is the Honda EU3000 that only weighs 71#
Since you just bought the Honda and the Generac doesn’t take up much room and is lighter, I’d keep them and sell the other as a rare and exotic piece of machinery. It must be, since I’ve never heard of it.GrandpaKip wrote:

Campbell Hausfield ?
All they did was pair a Briggs and Stratton engine to a generator and put it on a rolling frame.
It's 20 years old with 17.6 hours on it!- Since you just bought the Honda and the Generac doesn’t take up much room and is lighter, I’d keep them and sell the other as a rare and exotic piece of machinery. It must be, since I’ve never heard of it.

Is this a test question? Extra points for lengthy dissertation?
Why not?
It is a generator thread, after all!- LOL....thanks for playing along.
I actually own all 3. I just bought the Honda EU3000IKC yesterday after winning a battle with the CRA......Canada's version of the IRS.
I bought it right from a Honda Powerhouse for less money than anywhere else that I saw.
It weighs 71lbs.....and it has a folding handle and wheels.
I actually brought my Generac with me to Honda to compare.
There is no comparison. The Honda was quieter at idle and under load.
I have no need for the other 2 but they've been bought and paid for for years. It's a space problem now. My garage is busting at the seams. time2roll wrote:
The only one I would own is in the center for lowest noise.
This one gets my vote too.- Oh, the one on the left looks extra quiet, lol.
- The one that runs?
do I win? - Sure you dont need 3 but no reason to sell. I have 2 Yamaha's, a 4k Onan and a noisy Generac 10K. The only two I use are the Yamaha's but enjoy having them all. The Generac I bought to power the house in case of a long term power outage, the Onan is just a old gen from a long gone RV that is still perfect and now sits on a 8 gallon SS tank/cart again for emergency use.
If you have limited storage I'd keep the Honda ;)
