The noise doesn’t affect my situation as much as others.  I ‘m familiar with Honda quality – currently own two Honda vehicles and a Honda mower. LOL. Got 255K miles on my first ( 92) Accord and could have gone another 100K. No doubt their 1000 is the cream of the crop- but it’s a bit pricy, IMO. At last glance, the Home Depot generator  weighed very near what the Honda weighs-unless I read the stats for the wrong model. As long as it handles the job, I’m satisfied .Keep the oil clean and keep it from over-heating and it should last. The HD warranty for one year is a good way out if it is a bomb. They said that they would repair it for free or  issue a refund . Now, someone out there must have one to give us a report.

It was also very noisy compared with the Honda.  The db published was close to the Honda but the Honda was a lot quieter.  I know the premium cost of the Honda is a lot more but
