Going to be used for hurricane/power loss situations in Miami to power my fish tank and a couple things here and there.... I don't think there would be any difference in quality between the two, but I only have personal experience with the 40026. The 46514 has the advantage of either 120v or 120/240 output. For RV use (why I bought mine) the 40026 is fine, it is 120v only and all the power is available on the 120v outlet. To do the same thing with the 46514, you must flip the selector switch to the 120v only position. However, having the 240v position is nice if you have a well pump or some other appliance that runs at 240v. This was not a concern for me. $280 for the 40026? Sounds like a good deal to me! It would be completely adequate for the tasks you listed. Also, the wheel kit is nice, which I think is a separate option for the 46514. Got ya thanks, I hope my fridge is 120V atleast...Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info. toprudder wrote: kromix wrote: 1) Which models are the ones that are suggested to be purchased that seem to be good quality chinese hondas? only the 1 3500W champion? 46514? 2) Anyone have a good deal on one I can buy right now?

I have not been by there lately to see if they still carry them. I do know that not all Lowes in this area carried them. The nice thing about the model I bought is that it came with a wheel kit. whats the difference between the 40026 and the 46514 quality ?
