Harbor Freight has one they claim as quiet as Honda.Â* $500.

I wish they'd had that when I bought my Honda. But I don't think
it'll operate in parallel with
another like the Honda will.


I read the owner's manual for it.Â* It *will* parallel with another like
generator.

It also has the feature that I think is probably the Honda's best
feature ... the economy switch.Â* For light loads you can turn it on
and the generator will become very quiet and fuel efficient.

Looks like a reverse engineered copy of the Honda.Â* I didn't notice but
it must be made in China.
Finally pulled the plug and bought the Eu 2000i at lunchtime.Â* The
sales guy had made up the order and assigned it to me when it arrived
yeaterday. I had been out there on Friday while stillout of power and
with another 20 hrs of same facing me.Â* I would have bought the unit
with no questions then if one was available.Â* Anyway, when we got
there salesman was looking after another couple. We all ended up
discussing the pros and cons of the Eu200i vs a bigger model. Then
another guy gets in on the discussion. Back and forth it goes with the
guy from the couple waffling as much as me. Crowd starting to gather
at the desk looking for parts or whatever. One other person trying to
help them.Â* Finally I tell the salesman to cash me in on the 2000.
Got up to the desk and started waffling again so I tell him to order
me in an EG 2800 and I'd decide between the two.Â* Go back and the
couple guy is frantically searching the internet on his phone for
advice and calling an engineer friend. I make the mistake of asking
the wife what she thinks.Â* She just wants to get out so says buy the
200. I tell the salesman to ring me up..then he has to do the
pre-delivery inspection , adding of oil and gas and supposidly running
the unit. The poor couple. the other guy and the half dozen people
milling around the front counter are starting to give me dirty looks.
Anyway, salesman does his thing, tells me the unit is at the door
ready to go. Go up and I see the generator but no manual etc.Â* One of
the guys milling around points to a package on the counter near the
cardboard box.Â* I put the unit in it's box, toss in the manual and
wires with clips? into the box and get the hell out.
I won't do that at lunch time again.
"stillout"?
"supposidly"?

Poor sentence structure and capitalization, too.

What's today's excuse?


And Alex once again demonstrates he is just a little asshole.
