Questions/Opinions on Generators
I'm looking at 2800/3000 watt generator/inverter......Yamaha, Honda, Champion Price is a concern. Honda $2300, Yamaha $1400, champion $900 I don't mind spending $1400 on the yamaha if the quality...

How much power do you need? That Honda price is probably for a 3000 watt, the Yamaha for a 2400, and the 3100 watt Champion inverter? To bring them all to the 3000 watt range the Yamaha price goes about $2000 +/-. So, the Champion is a much better deal RE price per watt but it is a little louder than the others according to their spec sheets.
I know that the Honda is a VERY quiet machine that my NASCAR neighbors run 24/7 with no bother to anyone. I think the Yamaha is about as quiet. I have never been around the running Champion so I have no input there.
The Honda and Yamaha have a rep for being very reliable and the Champion has not been around very long that I am aware of. They may be great, just not proven to my limited knowledge.
I have a Honda 2000 and have had it for a long time with no problem. But if I were buying today and the noise was not too much a factor I would strongly consider the Champion. But I would want to hear one before I spent the money. I hate loud generators.
I need to be able to run AC.
Anybody out there using the champion?
