Opinions on 3400 champion inverter generator.
In the market for genny for 3 or 4 times a year boon docking. About 1000 dollars. Any opinions on it? Would appreciate in advance.

I'm a big fan of the Champion 75531i 3100/2800 inverter generator. I've owned three of them. Outstanding inrush capability, good fuel economy, reliable, excellent warranty support, and extremely competitive pricing.
As for noise level, have to read the small print. Champion rates the 75531i at 58 db with a 25 percent load (700 watts). Champion doesn't advertise the 75531i's noise rating under full load (2800 watts) for good reason---it gets substantially louder--my guess, 65-67 db. Honda rates the EU3000iS at 49 db under a 25 percent load (700 watts) and 58 db under full load (2800 watts). For those who have had the opportunity to listen to these two generators running side-by-side at the same time, both under a full load of 2800 watts, the Champion simply drowns out the Honda.
Again, I'm a big fan of the Champion 75531i, but it does have its limitations.
