    Hook us up! That'd be a great item at the RFF auction in July :D

    Last year I was trying to organize an annoying generator contest whereby it cost you $50 to enter, and each genny got 2 mins to display how loud it was, then people voted on the loudest ($1/ticket to vote or something like that). The winner would get a new QUIET genny (eu-2000 or whatever) and would have to blow up his/her loud genny... (drain the oil, bypass the sensor and let 'er rip!).

    Save your money and get one from stickboy, not as quite as the honda but quite enough to not bother people sleeping at night. Plus its a 3rd of the price of the honda with 75% more power. If mine wasn't in the bed of my truck hooked to my trailer I couldn't tell it was running.

    You could go to Home Dept, order a Pramac generator for $675 (honda motor, 2000wtz, etc).

    Okay, I just got out my receipt to be sure and I paid $869. I don't like lying about true stuff. Honest mistake.

    The rest of the post, decide for yourself.

    www.wisesales.com I think. I bought a couple from them last year. About $675 +free delivery if I recall. :up:

    Hey Darrin - how much for the 12v kit and the blue cover for an EU2k?

    Saw you old post of the specs. It says 76db for them. That's like 20db more than the EU2000.

    I don't know about buying an item like this on eBay unless it's from a dealer. And if buying from a dealer it'll be cheaper to buy direct.

    Honda motors aren't what makes the EU stuff quiet.

    I almost did but what I do notice is his generator is dimension wise deeper by like 6 inches I believe. I mean I don't have a covered trailer so this means more room taken up in the SUV. So the EU2000 may be worthwhile here.

    OK I'm either going for the EU2000 or the LCT2600 maybe. Even though it's $100 shipped that $450. Half the price of an EU2000.

    Can Eu2000 owners tell me why they got that one over an LCT? THe main differences I see are the EU has a longer warranty, can be gotten at many place, may be a bit quieter, smaller and is a Honda. Reasons I hesitate on the LCT are not as widely known as a Honda EU2000. The shipping of $100 isn't a big deal as it's still alot less than the Honda. I guess what I'm trying to find out is if the Honda is worth the $800+ over the LCT. Maybe someone who has seen, heard and used both of them can give me their opinion.

    Thanks for the feedback. Am I correct the Honda is more compact? Any other input? Is the LCT noisy or pretty good but just the Honda is quieter?

    You got it right. The LCT 3000W is what I have (from Stick of course). It really is quiet enough to hold a normal conversation while standing near it.

    The Honda will have you wondering whether it's even on while you're standing next to it.

    The LCT's from Stick are by far the best combo of value and price.
