I live in an area where the power regularly goes out. So I'm thinking about buying a generator.
I've been looking (online) at the small ~$1000 Hondas caravaners use. I would prefer something I can service myself (of course). Such as replacing the carby and/or diaphrams. And obtaining whatever electronics these things contain. So something that's easy to get parts for (not prevented by the manufacturer from buying parts), can obtain a service manual maybe, has a bit of quality about it... over some obscure chinese landfil-in-waiting.
I'm not totally against buying something cheaper. But I do tend to buy 'good' with most things. Paying more does have to be deserved though.
Also I have neighbours on one side and a caravan park behind. While it's not likely I'd get any noise complaints, even from a larger contractor-type, it's not entirely impossible either. (Which is why caravaners recommend Honda apparently.) I may also use it in a motorhome one day. But buying another isn't out of the question.
Anyway, does anyone have any advice/info to offer?
