@TheRobert9998 Hey, when the power is out, any generator is good to have! I'll take some noise over sitting in the dark... :)

So since you do a lot of camping, have you seen anyone with the Briigs and Stratton P2000 inverter generator?. Also for some of the people commenting here we just went through hurricane Irene. We were without power for 5 days. One guy a block away was running a generator and I could hear the noise through my bedroom window. I closed the window and could still here it. It was a 5000 watt generator. I'd rather get a quiet one and still be friends with the neighbors.

@JohnLolasDad Exactly - my video references CAMPING generators. Those loud generators will suck the fun out of any campground in a hurry.

I own a mobile DJ/outdoor movie company in NJ where I have worked dozens of fairs and festivals. I rarely see any of the vendors using Yamaha generators. Most use Hondas including myself.

In 20 years as a powersports enthusiast, I have NEVER seen a Yamaha generator at any Yamaha dealership. Honda dealers always have generators on the floor to sell. No disrespect because Yamaha make nice products, (I owned 3 great Yamaha motorcycle) but they do not market themselves as well as Honda.

@ragingbullhcwf Unfortunately we've had some trouble with our Yamaha. I must agree that Honda does a better job of catering to campers. More details are on our website. (Look for Yamaha Generator Triple Fail!)

@walkaboutgroup Yup, I have a noisy coleman and it comes in handy

during outages.

How about Generac?

3000 wont work as a back up if you have a 240 volt panel

caterpillar generaters are the best

@vegasfordguy "FROM THE CHINESE CRAP" are you talking about the Boliy? Boliy seems to stack up well against the Honda, at least on paper.

[vegasfordguy]

They are both great units. I have owned Honda & Yamaha inverter generators. I prefer the Honda for a couple of reasons. In the 1000 watt package the Honda is quieter. My small engine repair guy wouldn't touch the Yamaha, he said that gaskets were almost impossible to get for it however I'm not too sure about this. They are both great units. STAY AWAY FROM THE CHINESE CRAP!!! Been there,done that.
