I am sure that Honda is the best generator but why do you need one?

If the power goes out it is a great time to light a candle and enjoy a simpler time of life. As humans it is good to get off the grid every now and then.
Hey, BB...I'm with the GenGang: if one is in the true 'burbs and a power
loss comes along once a year for an eve, no problem. Here at the Mtn
Joint, we have lost power a dozen times this season, since mid-April.

I changed my Generac's oil/filter yesterday, and it has run for 32+ hours
so far this season. We lost power yesterday, twice in one afternoon,
for 4+ hours. We have underground utilities up "here", but there are
poles "down below", in the system. And, a couple times per season an
on ground transformer gets blasted by lightning...

One has to have one in these continual outage areas, imo.
