Honda does not "over spec" the output, fair chance uses the same size breaker as a Ryobi.
There are times where you do not "get what you pay for" and this is one of those times.
Honda, you are paying up front for name brand recognition, warranty and dealer support, much of the extra cost comes from the fact that Honda has a dealer parts and repair network to support and it costs a lot of money to keep a dealer parts supply system running.
Ryobi, warranty and dealer/parts support are non existent and you are expected to diagnose the issue online or by phone, then if covered by warranty you either send entire item back to them and they replace entire item or they may send you a part and you install it. Sometimes under warranty they may just send you a complete new or refurbed item and expect you to dispose of the broken item at your cost.
I personally do not live my life by buying for warranty sake, I don't buy extended warranties, so I have no "need" to buy a more expensive Honda when I can buy less expensive "clones" of a Honda..
So far, this has worked out very well for me since all of my gens are Honda clones bought for far less than a Honda and the oldest is now 20 yrs old and the only issue is the Honda designed carb which is highly prone to the jet clogging..
