That is normally the case. I bought this 2.5kVa unit from ebay a few years ago for around $600. I bought it in case of another "corona catastrophe" ie., a solar flare knocking out the grid (still could happen).
I have used it off site a number o0f times. It is quiet and frugal but I have noted it runs out of puff at 1800 watts. So that is what to expect from a cheaper unit - the Honda items are rated more true to the output. But you pay three times the price.
