Well what is the difference? I mean I can imagine that it does probably cost less in fuel right? But why not just get another generator that is 5000w for less? Why is the EU2000i the best choice?
A $329 4000 watt Champion generator will power anything and more that the Honda will BUT:
-Is much louder, the Champion is as loud as a shop vac. The Honda is super quiet, and engine speed varies with load so at no load it is near silent
-As you mentioned, the Honda will use much less fuel at lower loads.
-Service, the Honda comes with a 3 year commercial warranty, and you can get it fixed at just about any Honda dealership
-Weight/size, the Honda is small and light, you can practice arm curls with it. Any 5000w unit is going to be a back breaker.

Really just need to run these two things at the same time so I am worried about wattage. a 1/2hp transfer pump and a Electric pressure washer, I should have no problem tho right?
The EU2000 will run anything a 15 amp socket will run, its very good about load spikes. I`d go to your honda dealer and make them demo it.
As far as recommendations... yeah, you can`t beat the quality of the EU2000 but thats not to say something like a Champion isn`t a great unit as well for the price. Depends on how long you plan on keeping them. If you are a buy once type guy, Honda all the way.
