There has been a lot of positive comments about Honda generators. I have no intentions to dispute the facts. I had a little time before going to a cookout today so I do a little research. Here is what I found.
The 7000 is really only a 5500 watt generator.
The output is 120/240v 23 amps. Not sure about this part, so I'll ask. Are there two 120v outputs rated at 23 amps each or can you get 120v and 46 amps out which would be very nice for operating pumps, motors, and saws that require a lot of amps to start? 23 amps and 120v would be a big turn off, not to mention $4k price tag on eBay.
Weighs 262 #.
At 3 meters could produce 60 db, guessing that at full output. A low of 52 db, again guessing not full output.
No doubt the smaller Honda generators are quieter and that may be important for campers, but I'm not a camper and my nearest neighbor is a cow about ¼ mile away.
Honda's generators produce a very clean ACV which may be important for computers, TV's and perhaps operating today hi-tech gas furnaces with digital controls.
