Personal opinion but I try to purchase reliability. And I’d spend $600 for a used Honda before $500 on an off brand.
Although used ones might be less plentiful this year again...
I’ve beat the tar out of probably hundreds of Honda generators, commercially. In my experience they last 1000s of hours in less than ideal conditions. And retain their value.
Something to consider.
That, and my one experience with the Costco Yamaha knockoff 2k, one of my employees bought one to run his camper and it wouldn’t even come close to running his AC, but an old Honda and a newer Yamaha 2k would.
He returned it twice so tried 3 separate units and none would put out the power that the real name brand ones do. The other brands may be better though?
I had the same experience with the Costco Yamaha knockoff and sold it for a genuine Honda 2200. The Honda runs my A/C without an issue and will hopefully outlast me.
