Gonna buy a genny this weekend and I'm heavily leaning towards the Honda EU3000iS. Kinda pricey though.

So what generator do you have and would you buy it again or go with something else?

I have a powerland 10kw three fuel genset and I’d buy another. It’s served me well through hurricanes and power failures and runs most of the house/property. I’ve run it on petrol, natural gas and propane. It’s heavy but portable on wheels so I keep it in the garage until needed then hook it up to a transfer switch and runs the house.

I'm not a genius by far, but we bought the Honda EU7000iS in 2016, not one problem ever. Whatever you get make sure it has electric start. If you go with the Honda, change the oil every 100 hours. I just changed ours, easy peasy, it has 1611hrs so far. Place it where you have easy access to both sides. Paid $4300 for it, and if I was flush I'd buy another for backup even though it likely wouldn't be needed. Yes, it's that good.

I have a Honda EU2000. Love it! I would probably go larger if I bought another, but definitely a Honda.

Crapsman 5300, keeps the heat, water on. Lights are candles.

It has started on the first one or two pull since 2009. I'd go bigger next time

Go big or go home. You'll want to run the whole house and some...

Runs the whole house, A/C and all. Go big, or go home. This is what I run.

DuraMax 13,000 watt, dual fuel. Runs on gasoline, or propane.

Got it on sale at Lowe's last year.

Sparky has a good one!^^^

We have the DuraMax 4400EH Dual Fuel and the Champion 3400 w/Inverter Dual Fuel. Added a Transfer Switch last year or so and I'd highly recommend it.

I have never run either genny on gasoline, LP gas only. My opinion is that LP gas is the way to go! Much cleaner, easier and LP gas never goes bad nor does it gum up anything like corn fuel does.

I own two Honda 3000 Handi inverters, I parallel them together to get full 30 amps for my camper, with a companion gas tank I can run them for about 12 hrs before refueling, spendy but no regrets, 80 lbs each so there easy to get in and out of the truck
