I need to buy a small generator so i can run one power tool at a time
to rebuild my cabin in Wyoming. This means I need less than 2000
watts.
The higher cost models include Honda at over $800, Yamaha at about the
same and Honeywell at about $650 .
The cheaper models are less than $200 but are made in China.
I expect to rarely use this generator and it would never be needed for
emergency purposes.
The Honeywell at $650 is almost reasonable. The cheap Chinese
ones........................?
So, should I follow my own advice and not buy chinese because when
chinese goods break it always costs more money than the diff in
purchase price? Or, should I buy Chinese and gamble that it will work
long enough to be useful.?

1. You'll be surprised to find what what is and what is not "made in
China."

2. There are plenty of top-quality goods made in China. My objection to
Chinese goods is that they produced by workers under near slave labor
conditions.

3. As cheap as you are, you should round up a couple of furry critters
out there and put them on a generating treadmill. When they finish
working for you, you can eat them.

Na, tell us what you really mean. If US ere like China, you woul dhave
to move your fat ass and go to work.

Government isn't the solution to the bad economy, it is the problem.

HK, the furry critters abandoned ship cuz I don't keep stuff for em to
eat.


Well, you do have to make some provisions for critters if you expect
them to work for you. Might require more than oatmeal and p.b.

I had loaned my honda generator to a buddy for use at his cabin out at
the shenandoah, but last year he paid the $500 for a power line drop to
his cabin, so I have the genny back. Now he has power to run a well
pump, heating and ac, and the other niceties of life.
