10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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 you get
what you paid....<br>

I returned and got the Honda. The Honda is the best way to go.<br>
