Worked great during a few blackouts here in metro Detroit so far. Runs my lights, internet, TV, electronics etc., and probably the microwave if I'm careful enough. I've idled it through the night without issue.
Manual says E10 is okay so that's what I run, just need to keep up on maintenance. make sure to follow the oil change guidance, and set the fuel switch to off and run it until the carb is empty before you put it away.

For an occasional user, any of these will get the job done, as long as you take care of it. Break it in properly (highly recommend a magnetic dipstick for this, but not essential), exercise it regularly, and properly maintain/service it. Maintenance is easier with something like a Champion dual fuel if you're using propane instead of gas.
Now, if I had a food truck or was in a situation where my livelihood depended on my generator being able to run daily for long stretches, I'd probably spend extra on a Honda. But I'll add, that I've noticed some food trucks in my area using Harbor Freight Predators.
My Powerhorse 2000 is still going strong.
Search around for pure gas.
Search around you might be able to find gas without ethanol.
But sure, I'll look around. I live close enough to rural / farm areas that maybe there might be non-eth gas all year. Thanks!

Thanks. Good to know. I'm going to pass on this anyway. I'm thinking I might as well get something larger and is duel fuel (i.e., can also use propane).

Cheaper and 4 times the wattage
Cheaper and 4 times the wattage
- More powerful that some people need, higher fuel consumption
- Much heavier, not as portable
- Not an inverter generator, so higher THD
- MUCH louder
For running a whole house during an outage that Predator makes sense, but plenty of reasons for people to get the smaller Honda. There are cheaper similar units as others have pointed out.

I ordered the Honda before this was posted on Sunday after reading reviews for dozens of generators. Main takeaway's:
-Honda is quieter than Chinese clones
-Honda engine should last alot longer than Chinese clones
-Honda starts everytime. All other generator reviews are horrendous in this area.
If you are ever in a situation where you need to use a generator, you 1000% want it to start and work. The Honda is a good investment IMO. Also got $100 off 1000 for opening a HD card.
