I have been scarred dealing with small engines. I just will nOt buy the harbor freight one.
Anyhow they have that 3000 watt that looks like a clone of the honda 3000is. I can borrow one of those about anytime I need and they hold enough gas and run super quiet(i personally think the 3000 is quieter the 2000). But they are heavy and hard to haul. That harbor freight one may be ok, but that honda 2200 is less then 50 pounds. But part of the weight savings is also a smaller fuel tank.
The harbor freight one may work, but I have had way too many issues with small engine issues. Have had honda's and yamaha's at work for years and they always work. Worst case is bad gas, and a quick drain of the carb has brought the one honda back to life. Other briggs and straton or craftsman and one harbor freight it takes a replacemt of the carb or the whole thing on scrap pile. Some argue you can buy 4 harbor freigt ones for the cost of one honda. But the $$$ savings mean nothing when you HAVE to have the generator start and work the moment you need it.
I am spoiled with the honda 3000is, that i can borrow, but I may slip a disk lifting it. And it really does not store very well.
