Does anyone have any experience with the Harbor Freight Predator generators? I have been saving for a Honda EU200i, but at half the cost, the Predator equivalent looks tempting. I have a larger Honda unit already, so I know how the quality is with them.
What is the intended use.

I'm just passing it a long. I put stabil in all of my gas. There are so many opinions out there you just have to pick one and go with it for your own results. I'm not against spending money on quality believe me. However the HF generators that I own serve my needs. The research and proof back them up and like I mentioned above i can buy 2 for the price of 1 of some other brands. Sometimes it's about what your own needs and demands are. Mine are met with HF.Do you really trust the knowledge of harbor freight salesmen on a subject like that? Go to a geek site like bob the oil guy for people with a bit more knowledge about fuel additives that HF salesmen. There are plenty of people giving advise there that know nothing about what they are talking about but there is enough good tech to steer you on a better course.
These off brand generators may save you a lot of money and work great for many hours, but if I am in a critical situation I want the engineering and quality control of a name brand company that engineers their products, not from someone who copies something someone else has done with cheapened materials, machining process, tolerances, etc. There is a reason that Hondas cost more.
