<P>The one I got for unknown reason didn't like when I plugged the IOTA transformer. I could run other loads but I could not use it for charging the batteries at the field. Please don't ask me why. HD has an excellent service. I explained the situation and they refunded my credit card.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.</SPAN></FONT></P>

I am very much in the market for a generator but have not been able to force myself to pull the trigger on the Honda Generator yet.
