I`ve had my eye out for any of the Honda EU generators on craigslist for quite some time. Any time any of them pop up for a good price they are gone in a few hours.
Last week a guy was selling the EU3000is for $900. I saw it in the AM and it was gone before I could get to him. :hmph:
I decided to pull the trigger on a Honda EG 2800. It weighs like 68# and has 23+ amps.
I got a new pre-owned one for a great deal on craigslist. It`s pretty awesome after using it for a full day.
The size coupled with the output and 2 plugs makes it perfect for a mobile company. New, they only cost $550. To get the same power from an EU unit will cost $1900. To get the size from an EU unit will set you back $900 and will have 16 amps, not enough to run a vacuum and a buffer at the same time(for the 2 man crews).
The only drawback to this rather than an EU unit is that it`s louder. It`s not unbearably loud. But it is louder.
I wanted to throw this out there and maybe it can help some of you out.
(the reviewer here is wrong. This sucker does not surge or hunt for a steady rpm)
