Bought a used Honda Eu2000i genny off Craigslist this past weekend. The older man that owned it purchased it for RV camping but always had an AC hookup so it didn't get used.
So far, i'm impressed with it. Runs the fridge and all the lights without a problem.
Fridge draws 560 watts constant and close to 1000 watts on startup. That leaves 600 watts for lights, microwave etc. The unit is very quiet, uses 1 gal of gas in 12 hours at 1/4 load. (but only 4 hrs at full load). I may make an aux gas tank for it (boat gas tank should work). Not having to store 50 gals of gas is a big plus. My 5500 watt coleman runs at 3600 rpm and drink the fuel.
We are close to Duke Hospital so power outages are short, but long enough for the ice cream to melt...can't have that! ;-)
