[A/S] Re: Generators - 2 vs 1
If one (and everyone else within 100 yards) can handle the noise the
Generac is the way to go. I think they will be unbearably noisy as
will any of the unenclosed portables. I'm partial to the Hondas. With
them I would only need to run both if I were running the A/C. I can
even leave one home if I don't need the A/C. And 100lbs of Hondas are
much easier to maneuver than 119lbs of Generac.
For the EU2000i
Pros:
very quiet
fuel efficient
inverter technology produces cleaner and more stable power
lightweight
small size
the two units permit (limited) redundancy
Cons:
run-time is lower because of the smaller tank
more than double the cost for the same power output
The Generac
Pros:
larger fuel tank allows longer run-times
less than half the cost
Cons:
extremely noisy
weight
size
