If your main concern is something light and quiet, it might behoove you to buy a low-price Chinese clone. The Chinese are making most of the high-end generators for Honda et. al. (but to Honda specs, of course) and have gotten smart and started making knock-offs. I recently bought a 1200 watt four-stroke overhead valve generator, and it is JUST as quiet as a Honda. They sell for $199. For that price you can buy two or three when compared to a Honda. One souce is at Ebay at: http://stores.ebay.com/Tools-Wholesaler_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm
On the subject of inverter generators. The main idea is that they supply full-sinewave power, whereas most other generators don't. For your purposes, i.e. camping or running small tools, it should make little difference to you whether you have full sine-wave power or modified sine-wave power. The difference mainly shows up when trying to use the AC power to run a battery charger. Honda, Yamaha, and Coleman have inverter generators. They are very expensive. I had a Coleman inverter 1000 watt unit that came out before Honda or Yamaha had one, it was an absolute piece of junk. Nice idea, though. It would idle down very low and only rev up when power was needed - but crapped out after only being used a dozen times. I contacted Coleman, and they have NO parts for it and NO tech information. I couldn't even get a schematic for it. I used to like Coleman stuff -but no more. They suck!

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p ... [Read Article]
