what is 12"^3 mean?


I'm guessing 12 inches to the power of 3 - or 12 cubic
inches - - -

An approximate size of what will fix into the locker....

Into the locker? For transportation only..right? Best not be
running
your genset from inside the locker......nope..

The 500Wi measures 12.6" x 14.1" x 8.2". It appears to be the very
similar little brother of the discontinued HF 2500/2200W inverter
generator.

I was wondering about that 12"^3 spec, as 12 cubic inches of engine
displacement is enough to generate over 3000 Watts in a machine that
needs wheels. I lifted a 3750W Coleman into the back of my car but I
wouldn't want to step off the dock into a small boat with it.

I've never seen a Honda EM400 or EM600 for sale, and only that one
500W Kohler Powerplay that I carried up onto the roof to patch holes
after a storm.

16" x 14.5" x 9.5", and a loud 2-stroke like the little $99 HF genny.

A Honda EU1000i would be enough to keep my backup batteries charged,
but not to repair structural storm damage, cook with the microwave,
run an A/C or do laundry. The 3750W Coleman is barely enough to start
the washing machine or 1/2HP air compressor.
