[QUOTE="condor22, post: 210564, member: 1932"] You get what you pay for.... Of note this 3500W genny has a 12V output @ 8 amps. The Honda 2000W genny also has the same 8 amp output. As they invert from a 12V generator to 240VAC, I an only assume they have a similar sized generator, the difference being that the 3500W uses a bigger inverter...... The noise is rated at 58 dB (A) (3500W) whereas at 1/4 throttle load the Honda 2kVA is only 53dB (A). Sound power is logorithmic, so every 3dB is twice as noisy as the previous level. So 3 dB is double, another 3 is double that, so 6dB is 4 times as noisy etc. Question why you need 3500W and how often, they are also a heavy genny. I know someone who bought a similar el cheapo 3500W from Ebay. It lasted 4 days into his first trip and he piggy backed off my Honda 2kVA for the next 10 days. We ran a caravan and a camper off my Honda genset. Honda and Yamaha are the only 2 brands of choice and as I said, you get what you pay for.... When things fail, they usually fail when you need them, out there in the bush.. :) [/QUOTE]
