Honeywell 2000i vs Generac 2000ix inverter generators

Many people have been wondering about inverter generators. Everyone knows that the Honda EU series of inverter generators and the Yamaha inverter generators are simply the best on the market, I agree with this 100%. After owning a Honda EU1000i I was amazed by how quiet and reliable it was. With this said many people including myself don't feel like shelling out nearly $1,000 for a Honda or Yamaha 2000 watt generator. There are other options and here are 2 of them. The Honeywell 2000i and Generac 2000ix. Between these two units I would recommend the Honeywell simply because it produces cleaner power and it's much quieter. It is a good alternitive to the Honda if you're looking to save around $400-$500 bucks. The only gripe that I have is that the pull rope is very hard to pull, the engine seems to have a lot of compression. It's not a problem for me but it would be for my wife & kids. It's also about 12 pounds heavier than the Generac. Even so I would highly recommend the Honeywell over the Generac.

I just curious who make engine on generac? is it china? also how many hour Generac or honeywell will run with 12 amp 1500 watts like electric heater?

@Doghouse594 They are both made in China and you get what you pay for as I have found out. The Honeywell is much quieter but in the end they were both junk. Do yourself a huge favor & buy a Honda or Yamaha from the start. You can find them used for about 1/2 of new on Craigslist. To answer your question a 1500 watt heater puts a pretty good load on a 2000 watt generator so I would guess around 4 hours of run time with that much of a load. Compare these to my Honda EU 1000i in my other video.

Real funny, Nope I buy all of my stuff with my money. Mostly to buy & sell. Anyways I'm done, You can say what you will. Have a good day.

And to say , " 10X louder than the Honda and Yamaha " would be a gross statement of lack of fact and or intelligence . My guess is a lack of both . lol

[vegasfordguy]

@ragzdaddy You sir are in denial. The Honda has a smooth quiet purr to it where as the Generac sounds like a lawn mower going over 6" tall grass. Simply watch my videos and see for yourself. You will be talking crap about that Chinese made Generac as soon as it takes a crap, and it will! Do you even understand how much louder each decibel is? That Generac is as loud as semi trucks roaring down the highway from 10 feet away!

My Genrac ix 2000 rocks and is not louder than the Hondoo or the Yammie Hopper . It's with saving the 600 bux .

[vegasfordguy]

@ragzdaddy No way, that Generac is 10X louder than the Honda or Yamaha. Just listen to the noise comparisons. The Generac is one of the loudest ones out there. In the end you will wish you would have spent the extra money on the Honda or Yamaha. If you are running that noisy thing at a campground you are going to have angry neighbors.

thanks for info! yes y right yamaha is best but cost pretty high but will be worth it?

[ragzdaddy]

By the way . That seems like an awful lot of generators for one guy . Dont suppose someone in your ajoinging beighborhood is missing some generators do we ? lol lol

[ragzdaddy]

Nice try . But try it on a kid . Not on someone of the education and skills

coupled with the knowledge and understanding of something you haven't a clue

in regard of .

[ragzdaddy]

I sir dwell in reality . Not some less than ametuer effort to reappreciate

childhood failed sceince projects . I might know something you don't about

audio and percussive science you don't . One might never know who you they

might really be trying to convince someone of something when one is so lacking in understanding and ability.

[ragzdaddy]

I watched your videos . I also saw in your videos where you had the Generac

exhaust pointed predominantly at the house and truck to creat a sound

reverberation environment to not only enhance , but to also echo and

maximize the sound of the Generac . While the Honeywell was pointed toward

open area allowing the sound to escape . I'd put lunch up against it with a

db meter at 2 feet pointed straight at them in the exact same location .
