May I still add my 2p(?)...
Many products are good most of the times at quite a few applications.
After more than 30 years in the African bush, in town, at the beach, on the road.... I daresay that Honda will not let you down, be it a genset, a motorbike, outboard, whatever.
I do not want to bore anybody with the detailed experiences but if one does the necessary maintenance those red things will bring their side into the bargain.
For me the extra cost at the beginning is a hundred times worth not only the factual reliability but also the peace of mind. The latter might be a personal thing, but came out of my own experience.
Whether one likes a genset or not can have many reasons. It costs, it weighs, the petrol in cans is a pain in the crotch and the nose... but when your batteries are flat and the sun does not shine or some electronic bug has told your battery management system to go to rest and call for the next service fundi, ...., and you can pull cord and have 220 V .... No discussion at all. (I do not even want to touch on the "green" sermons which we leisure boaters are exposed to but big shipping is exempt of. It has become a religion, therefore taboo.)
Get a 2 kva Honda inverter generator and live happily powered for a long time.
Cheers, G.
