Honda Bleack Max 7000 Portable Generator

Saw this unit in a new Sams store, and looked pretty good. Electric start and plenty of outlets. Anyone know anything about it. The good and the bad.

Thanks ahead of time.

    Good unit, plenty of power. But can you say LOUD!!!!


    Are they really loud?
    I thought all Honda generators were the quietest?
  • Not all Honda's. The quiet generators are the inverter series. Honda, Yamaha, Champion, Kipor all have them.
  • Those contractor series generators are super loud! I started with one, not a Honda, and did everything I could to drop the noise level, without success. In the end I just ended up buying a quiet generator.
  • I've checked out the Black Max gen sets at Sams but only for home use. I can't imagine using it in a campground, I'll keep my EU2000 for that. The Honda EU's are the quiet ones (along with Yamaha's version)
  • it's a 3600 rpm unit. it will be noisy because of the speed. I would not want to camp near anyone using it and I don't think you would either. Nice for standby at home.
