1000 Watt Generator

[Chuck]

Looking for a 1000 watt generator. Hondas have worked well and are very reliable but as always Honda is pricey. Anyone found a different generator brand that is somewhat quiet, reliable and not quite so pricey?
Will use to run kettle and freezer on the boat.

my 2 cents would be get a 2000 a 1000 nicely runs a string of light and small power tools but a kettle draws lots and the initial kick in on a freezer is lots you would blow the breaker running both , a 2000 is far gooder , a alternative me thinks is a yamaha , but hard to beat the Honda for reliability ,bite the bullet get a real generator when they come up on sale ,

I have a 2200EU and it’s worked flawlessly but getting a bit big for the boat. I’ll probably end up staying with the 2200 it handles whatever I throw at it.
