It's not "cheaper enough" to justify taking a chance on it it instead of the Honda, IMHO. If it was 1/2 price of an eu2000i, sure.
You have no idea how quiet it really is. I have listened to a lot of these knock-off generators, and own one myself. Their owners kinda squint their eyes and scrunch up their face and say, "It's not *THAT* loud, is it?" You politely shout "NO!"
For $300, you get known quantities with the Honda. You know how quiet it is. You know what the quality is. You know you can get it fixed.
That said, those little eu2000i's can really BELLOW if you put the spurs to 'em.
Good point...I don't want to waste $700 just to save $300. That unknown generator could quickly cost me over the $300 savings.
