Honda generators
I almost bought a Honda EU2000i generator at the state fair 2 years ago
(best price I'd seen) but I passed on it, mostly because I'd taken the bus to the fair and didn't want to wag the thing home on a bus. Anyway, I'm getting interested in them again, and might buy one after hurricane season is over and before winter (ice storm season) sets in. But nobody lists their prices online. Is that a Honda thing? What is the street price of a EU2000i -- ignoring the current Hurricane Ike situation. Know any good dealers? I also can't find any specs on expected engine life of the little Hondas. I know some of the really cheap 5000W generators are only rated about 500 hours, and you could burn that up in a month during an extended power outage. I also can't find any small 1800 rpm diesel generators that might be a contender. There /are/ small diesels (Yanmar and Chinese knockoffs) but they all operate at 3600 rpm, which should have most of the durability problems of 3600 rpm gasoline engines. Thanks, Bob |
