I got mine yesterday. (In case you are not familiar: it is the super
quiet, efficient Honda inverter 2KW generator) Just got around to running it
today. It started on the second pull and it is now on a test run to see how
many hours it will run my 'fridge on a tank of gas. If it does as advertised,
it should run that fridge for about 8 hours on 1.1 gallon of fuel.

So far, it is everything they say. I just now walked out in the back yard
to check on it. There was a light airplane going over my head at the moment and
I thought for a moment that the Honda had stalled. No! It was purring along
just fine, just couldn't hear it over that tiny Cessna 1000' over my head.
It is truly a class act; as it should be since I could get a larger
generator for half the price!
The best price that I found was $896.36 at Sun Electronics
http://www.sunelec.com/ in Miami, a name that is probably familiar to several
here on aeh.
Why did I buy one? Some of you here know that I have an old 5KW Onan pad
mounted out behind my house. Well it failed me following our first hurricane
last year (it was the points, I blame myself) and our tiny Honda "lunch box"
generator saved our bacon. More importantly, I was appalled at the fuel
consumption of the Onan and am looking for ways to run it fewer hours. The new
Honda will make a very capable "backup for the backup" and will fill in for
"light load" hours, which might be most of the day!
