Got me again. I'll try cleaning my glasses.

Half the weight.
Likely much quieter, as this one says it's super quiet but suspiciously doesn't list a db spec at all.
Honda's are known to run for thousands of hours with few problems.
Honda's start easy.
Honda's are known to have high resale value.
Honda's are known to have spare parts availability.
Honda's are known to put out clean power.
Honda's are known to start decent size AC's when other similar models won't.
Honda's are simple to take apart the basics.

Probably others but these immediately come to mind.

Everybody get's to choose.

Re: Maybe the best suitcase gas generator yet?

I have a 6k propane generator, lasts about 4 hours on a 20lb tank, but since propane is for ever I plan on getting a large tank installed and feeding my dryer, generator and stove from the one tank.

I'm happy with mine. how ever it's important to remember that power from propane will cost you double the cost of power from diesel fuel ifusing diesel genset as propane has a lot less "energy" when compared to diesel.

McDonalds vs In-N-Out Burger, you pay for quality..
If you don't understand there's no need to explain.
