I can't say enough good about the Honda 2000i generator. Very quiet and on eco throttle just hums right along. I'm off the grid and run my refrigerator/freezer, kitchen range (also have a wood cook stove) and a tankless water heater with propane. Lights, computer, tv, coffee pot, toaster, water pump, even my washing machine are ran by a Honda 2000i (though not all at once...). The last one I sold with over 15,000 trouble free hours on it (never even changed the spark plug) and the one running right now has another 5K hours on it. Change the oil every 10 gallons of gas or so and you will never wear it out except from just sitting around rarely being used. They are very quiet on eco throttle, right now I can just barely hear mine purring out the back door and if the tv was on I'd have to go outside to be able to hear it.
