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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:
