The product I wholeheartedly endorse is the Honda EU1000.

It’s 29lbs dry and easy to maneuver. You can tuck it away for a time of need or take it with you for camping weekends.
After 2 years of storage it only needed 4 cranks on the starter to fire up and to run perfectly. Only 2 cranks for the following start.
It’s enough power to run a microwave on medium, runs the mini fridge without struggling, and has an outer housing that stays cool even with extended use.
It’s small enough to sneak into a rented room undetected and quiet enough not to attract attention. Perfect for someone that moves from one excrement hole room in this city, to another often.
It’s gas operated so that’s a limitation but does run about 8 hours on one .6 gallon tank.
Overall, it’s as perfect as one could expect. It seems to thrive on neglect.
Did cost $820. But its great insurance for me off traveling for work.
Does anyone else own and endorse a Honda generator?
