[NSRCA-discussion] Honeywell generator question

[frank]

The Honeywell 1000 is available through Costco  for $299.99 until
01/03/2010. The manual is on their website. It's a 4 stroke, runs on 87
octane (no mixing), is quiet,etc.   IMO, it  really seems quite comparable
to the Honda 1000. I have two Honda vehicles & a mower . The mower cost me
over $700 and hasn't been perfect. (The vehicles are what we all already
know they are). But in this case, is it really necessary to spend more than
double for the Honda 1000 ? I'm ready to go with the Honeywell unless the
feedback is negative. Who has put some real time (a season or more) on the
Honeywell 1000 ?

Earl H.  What is your take on all this?  What size is yours?  Is 1000 watts
plenty?

This is it:

They may have a 1KW model as well. I have the 2KW and it works great. It is
only slightly louder than the vaunted Yamaha and Hondas, but not by very
much. You can stand next to it and have a conversation without a problem. I
got my 2KW in a Home Depot screw up sale. I paid $299.95 for mine!! I am
very happy with it. I have had it about 7 months now and have not had any
issues.

If I remember correctly, someone on the list mentioned that there was a
Honeywell generator that worked well for powering our power supplies and
chargers and such. For the life of me I can not remember which model that
was, can someone please refresh my memory. I thought it was the [Model
HW1000i] but I am not sure. How does that one compare as far as sound, fuel
efficiency, and reliability compared to the Hondas and such? I know the
price is nice at less than $400 bucks brand new. 

 

I am doing the Santa Claus thing for myself and a generator is near the top
of the list.

 

Thanks
