I have a ~22 year old pull-start generator I’m going to replace later next year with something like that.
I back feed my gen set through the electric dryer outlet. I get 220vAC and 30 amp service.
We recently updated our generator to a Generac inverter type.
Our WM Ultra boiler is more computer than boiler (same for newer furnaces), I only want to feed it pure sine wave electric.
Same for TV, computers, microwave...
Noninverter generators, like my older one typically are a square wave and the frequency is dependent on engine rpm.
This can cause additional heat, not a good thing.
The Honda looks very nice but twice the price.
A friend has had the same Generac for years and uses it often at the track with his race cars.
Honda made in China; Generac made in VIETNAM!!!???
And after reading the article... a heavy steel cable (1/2”), and a puck lock, both very bolt cutter resistant.
“A common generator theft resulted in the unsuspecting homeowner waking up to no power and a lawnmower running in their backyard to replicate the white noise of the generator while its owners were sleeping.”
