The Champion is $1,300.00 cheaper then the comparable Honda and they both are rated at 58 dba. So I guess "saving a couple hundred bucks" Is Pretty Significant Economics. No judgment, if you want to pay $1300 bucks more for a particular name go for it. Or if you're worried about longevity you can buy 3 for the same price and keep two for spares and sell them when you don't need them.

Yes, but they know that a red or blue will fetch 2 or 3 times the price. So they are willing to work a little bit harder to get to them. My point was, that my brain tells me that I have to worry more because of it's cost, so it causes me more stress about it. I was coming up with all kinds of painful and expensive ways to protect my Honda. But I already know what I'm going to do with this one. Not stressful or expensive.

I just ordered a Champion 3400 dual fuel. $1100 for 3400 watts, propane or gas, fuel shut off valve, RV type 30 amp receptacle, and electric start. Same db rating as the Honda. It fits under my truck bed cover unlike the Honda or Yamaha. And your money goes to a U.S. company instead of to Japan.

The champion is much louder and as long as your far away enough so as not to disturb your neighbor, then I guess saving a couple hundred bucks is a good thing. I had trouble with a guy next to me with one, and his attitude was as loud as the generator. I unfortunately for the first time in 20 years, had to call security. We all have our own economics, no judgement, and something is better than nothing, but when one spends $20-$40k on a TV then $10-$30k on a TT, why hold back when for just a few more bucks, everyone can enjoy it better. You and the neighbors. Not to mention reliability. My honda is now 12 years old and I dont think the Champion or Generac inverters will get that mileage. Just my 2cents.
Happy trails
