Those things are pretty well known to be junk... I have one solid argument why Hondas are actually a bargain. I sold my 12-year-old well-worn pair of EU2000s - that still worked perfectly - for $700 each. Then bought myself a nice new pair for $900 each. (I believe they’ve gone up $100 each recently).
Twelve years later I got most of my money back for the Hondas. They really only cost me about $18 dollars a year each!!
Why would you run louder (forget the claimed specs, check out some real world tests), less reliable, good-luck-getting-parts junk when the good stuff is actually the better bargain?
The cheapo sets usually claim similar or slightly superior power output specs but they are being optimistic while the Hondas are conservative. The Hondas always outperform in real tests.
I’m just postung this because it’s one of the bigger “penny-wise, dollar-foolish” things truck campers are involved with. I don’t throw money at my camper. I just don’t like to throw my money away.
