I bought it here so it was probably $799: http://www.wisesales.com/eu1000ia-honda-generator.html
Maybe I’m remembering it being close to $1000 with the extended runtime tank kit and sales tax.

But it is 1/3 the price of a similar Honda generator. I will vouch for the Honda working well and being quiet and portable and putting out clean power. You can also get an external extended runtime tank for it. If you read the manual though, you’re supposed to change the oil every couple days in continuous operation though.

How is that possible? This is $320 and says inverter: http://www.autozone.com/power-tools/portable-generator/generac-portable-inverter-generator/568401_0_0/ The big ones I have definitely work on the big APCs (1500-2200va). I bought them in 2008? so I don't have the specs anymore. The site's I'd be most likely to use it would be going into a Meanwell rectifier.

Battery backups tend to trip constantly, but my equipment seems to handle it fine. Full sine wave generators tend to cost a little bit more. ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Luthman To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 7:21 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Smaller generators with inverters Can anyone share what kind of generators they're using? I'm looking for something that's smaller for one person to carry. I don't need anything big, maybe 250 watt load at the most. Looking online I see $600 minimum. I'd be using this at smaller sites that don't already have a big 24 hour generator already so portability would be the most important feature.
