Good thread been tempted for a while to buy a portable genie.......noticed Honda have a $300 cashback on the EU20i until August making it around $1799 {some places like Generator place are offering extras as well} and the Yamaha 2.4kv down to $2100.
$1799 for an EU20i would be tempting. When I got mine it was $2400 with a factory cashback (they make you jump though hoops to get it and it takes 3-4 months). Also I think there is an error on the Honda website. It says the 20i will do something like 13 hours on a full tank.
This is false. Unless they have enlarged the fuel tank which I doubt as its the same body which is jam packed it runs for about 8 hours or less once run in fully on a full tank of regular unleaded. So that means usually you have to top it up to have it last through the night if you start it up at dusk or just before for astrophotography.
I am finding the 2.8kva rating on my Yamaha to be very very conservative as a 3.3 kva Chinese generator would be revving hard to handle a little 1000W A/C unit whereas the Yamaha virtually idles under the same load.
