Honda power

[gene]

You know it, I love the Honda motors , I have one on cement mixer, mower
etc. I think are great,

But.... I love my Onan, hope it keeps running. It is a brute.

Gene,

Hey, now thats an idea- a combo power geeny & concrete mixer in one!!
Very creative, I just want to know if it will do both at the same time?

I have been pretty pleased with the 6K Honda in the dumpster. It worked
flawlessly to and from the rally, of course it is new and I would expect
nothing less.

I have been told that the Generac is quieter, I would like to compare first
person. I would also say though that while certainly being a factor in
generator selection, I looked at the fact that a water cooled unit and the
reputation of Honda with small engines. Usually, the Honda lawn mowers and
similar stuff is more expensive than other air cooled units. The Honda
generators are priced very reasonable (@ $2600.00 for the basic 6K unit).

Time will tell if this was a wise selection and I am most interested it the
outcome. I intend on punishing my unit and see how much it will take, I'll
let you know how it holds up.

Jim:

I'm told that Camping World sells the Generac for $2000 on sale.

Paul,

Cool, I tell you those guys really blow out stuff like that some times.
Many times I tell customers to pick up things like refers, roof AC units,
microwaves, etc. on sale with their $5 install. Just be sure to check the
install.

I do not have any first hand knowledge on the Generac so I am not a good
judge of the Honda to Generac noise ratio. I do know the Honda works well
and I intend on putting it through its paces to see its repiability.

You know I am always open for ideas.
