Which honda Generator

why just honda/yamaha wot about all the other well know brands & dozent it come dowm to how much you use it $$$$$$$$$

cheers nick

Yep and it also concerns how reliable you want it to be, after sales service and resale value. As atated stick with Yamaha or Honda and you wont go wrong.

I agree Dennis & Jason.
A mate of mine was telling me how he got his generator for about a tenth of the price of mine........no need for an expensive one he thought?
Then our power went out for 3 days and his wouldnt start so we had to run mine for a tank full on my freezer, then take it to his place for a tank full.

Good enough for fishing though he reckons.......
He serviced it ,changed the fuel and checked it all out.....works fine....took it down the beach, fired it up,....runs like a dream .......for about half an hour!
Probably a good thing really cause who wants a noisey, rattly generator screaming in your ear when your fishing?

Maybe crap in the tank? Puts a filter on it and throws it back on the ute......
Now Im not sure as I didnt go fishing with him last weekend but when I went to feed his horse last night his generator was laying on its side on top of an old lawn mower and other crap next to the feed shed........Im guessing it didnt work again??/ LOL

Cheers

yes you could be right. I checked the specs and it reads output 250 watts.
My 15amp charger states output 200-220watts
I`m now assuming I have misinterpreted what it means.
I can`t seem to find anything on it`s input wattage it only says 210-250 volts
I think I`ll be safe and go for The EU1000.
Cheers

I have a Honda 10eui to charge aux. batteries with a 20a. switch mode charger (running as I type this at a free camp near Karratha)
The INPUT to the charger is 240v. @320w. This certainly makes the generator work, I would not want it to be any smaller. If I also connect in the onboard van charger to its battery the engine revs kick up and the noise decibels also.
Anything over a 25a. charger I would say a Honda 20eui for sensible noise comfort levels.
As an aside, the sbove 20a. charger plus 2x12w. 240 low energy globes uses 0.45l./hr. from the Honda.
