You know my supervisor at my job said they were running a generator but they had it in the basement and I think they ran a cord up in the house in a little hole.. I'm not sure what they did about exhaust gases but basement?? I was trying to figure that one out..

Looks similar to the Honda EU6500 (which I have). The controls are practically the same.
If it operates in a similar manner you have a winner.
On Eco-throttle I can basically go 14-15 hours on a tank of gas (4 gallons). |

All inverter generators tend to be very economical on fuel when running well below their capacity.
They don't have to stay at a minimum RPM (3600) to maintain 60hz.
14-15 hours on 4 gallons .... for what load? My generator (non inverter) can do 12 hours on 4 hallons with a 1500W load. |

said by leibold:said by Coma:I put it my shop where there is a 240V outlet and back feed to the main panel with an interlock. Planning on plumbing the exhaust outside so I can run it in any weather. Even with the exhaust connected outside this is still dangerous. Ensure plenty of ventilation to prevent the buildup of harmful fumes in your shop.
I have worked as a mechanic for more then 30 years in shops and in the field, this shit doesn't scare me and besides I have a Carbon monoxide detector available.

About 1-1.5kw load. That's mostly what my whole house draws except when using heavier loads like laundry, the dishwasher and central air (which I can't use with the generator).
The other nice benefit is the lack of noise. I don't even hear the generator running when I'm inside. |

Champion generators are clones AFAIK (no name brand engines made in China).
I didn't search any deeper for other clone brands, but I'm pretty sure clones exist. |

But truth be told it isn't going to fit the target market. Inverter generators aren't cheap. Chinese generator mfgs priority is cheap above everything else. Typically their buyers are those desperate for a generator before a disaster hits... |

The EQ Generator I posted pictures of is a Honda Clone, only in a 2 stroke format, the next size up from the one I have, which is approx 2000 watt, is a honda clone as well, in a 4 stroke format.
Just about every no-name 4 stroke and 2 stroke generator, has been cloned from some sort of Honda. Honda's the best, and you pay the price, a clone can be good, not the best, but for 1/6th the price, my clones (and the cloned scooters I sell as well), are GREAT.

Hey now there! I bought a Champion 3000W last year.
I'm not desperate, I'm just cheap 
A well maintained clone from a non-no-brand manufacturer can do the job nicely, it just won't get as many run time hours. The issue is whether you'd ever get to the max run time on a clone, and what is the cost to replace it for another clone vs. brand name. |

Generac is cheap? I would not of thought of them like that..
most of them have 0.5 gal fuel tanks at least from what I saw maybe the max of 1 gallon. I'm not sure which market they go for.. like the Generac 800W what point is that? why not just do 1,000W
Last Honda generator I ran I don't think it was a inverter, maybe 5-6 years ago it ran out of fuel with loads attached and had to get fuel, wish I could remember the model.
