Portable Generators

[Kawartha Cruiser]

Lots of good posts already on the forum about portable generators.

We're looking to get one and most posts seem to suggest the Honda 2000ei as the 'gold standard' (can't beat Honda for reliability).

With that said, its 2x's the cost of most everything else (except the Yamaha which is also a bit pricey for a portable gen).

Is anyone using a different kind of portable generator that you'd recommend?

Using it on a 2900 SE for weekend / 3-day trips where we may not have shore power. Would be nice to run for A/C but not necessarily so.

Thanks.

Honda has a new model EU2200i which I purchased for $850 with mil discount. Honda is the Gold Standard. We bought a new Yamaha 2000 last year and took it back after one trip the Honda rocks. Dont even waste your time on the cheapo models. They are super loud.
