Like most things at Harbor Fright this is a chinese knockoff but it
might be all anyone needs if it is just for a rare power failure. I
doubt you would want it if you were a camper or something you wanted
on your boat.

I see Yamaha has a neat looking copy of the Honda EU2000i for $50.00
less.Â* Not sure if anyone deals with them around here so I stuck with
the Honda.


I have the Yamaha.Â*Â* Works well.Â* Had to clean the carb this year.Â*Â* To
much gelled crud.



A local boat dealer who sells Yamaha outboards also sells the portable
Yamaha generators. By the numbers I see around, I suspect he sells a
boatload of them. I doubt there is any significant qualitative
difference between the Honda and Yamaha portable generators.


Honda just came to the market first with small, portable generators and
has generated (pun intended) a very good reputation. I have no doubt
that those that came later ... Yamaha and others are excellent generators.

Here's Honda's first portable generator, the E300 introduced in 1965 and
only 300 watts. Obviously, the inverter design came later.
