Harbor Freight has one they claim as quiet as Honda. $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. 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. 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. I didn't notice
but
it must be made in China.
Finally pulled the plug and bought the Eu 2000i at lunchtime. 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. I would have bought
the unit with no questions then if one was available. 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. 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.
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. 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. One of the guys milling around points to a package
on the counter near the cardboard box. 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.


Didn't you post the same thing every time Don pointed out typos?
