Really the only reason people buy these is because of the lack of noise. You'll see they claim 59 DB on the "lower limit". Essentially this is just idling with no load and it'll creep way up into the 60s with a load. What does this mean? Every 3 to 5 decibels is perceived by the human ears a something being twice as loud. So a Honda that is 54 DB under load versus this Pulsar 59db under no load is twice as loud. I would bet 65 decibels is where it sits loaded and that's going to be four times as loud as a comparable Honda. Just an FYI. Oh and the Hondas typically go in the 3000 hour range before needing a major service sometimes way longer ( seen a few in the 5000hr range)

That's why education is important. If you can't even identify causality you are just a simple smooth brain that got easily manipulated by media and others' opinions while you yourself think you are a free mind.
Remember. You only comment when you have issues. Search for Honda generator issues. It's almost the same as any other brand name discounting by their sale numbers.
Go back to the generator. These are just typical simple generators. They all are the same - even the Honda is just better by a bit. It's impossible you are having 20x average lifespan in a Honda, or even anywhere even close to 3 times. If that is the case, these generators should have been wiped out of market decades ago instead over beating the hell out of Honda and literally all Japanese producers can't even compete and quit the market.
As a rule of thumb based on the sales number and expected lifespan and price and very rough demand curve, the Honda is supposed to last about twice of these generators, if you don't count how dead set those Honda fans are and believe them to be rational consumers.

The break in period lasted was 25-30 hours with the initial oil change after 5 hours then the 2nd oil change after 20 hours before using it for the first time.
I'm located in Central Florida. It's lasted through rain and 95-100 degree sun running for 7-9 hours straight before having to refuel.
I certainly can't speak for other people but my experience has been fine. Best $280 spent on a backup power source when I needed it.
