Sometime in August the brand new Ryobi that was barely a couple months old seemed to have blown its little engine. Won't start and leaks oil everywhere. Took it home and put it away for now, wish I would have purchased the $120 warranty thing now. Meanwhile, been shopping around for another little 2000 Honda, found one easy access near one of my terminals in Charlotte NC Northern Tool. They do offer a PowerHouse generator, similar size and shape, just in the color Blue for $599. Not sure I want to risk it like the $600 Ryobi when the Honda is a for sure thing.

Just a side note. Keep your mouth shut about using on your truck. Most warranties are cut in half or more when used in a commercial application.

Thermo king apu's are the only ones I have used at companies I worked.
They are reliable and you can get repairs in most major cities. -

I thought getting a sears one. There are sears all over the country. Brigs and Stratton engine. I know Hondas are OP.

The Sears ones have a real generator inside. The small Ryobi and Honda's are not real generators. They have a 12v alternator inside that powers an inverter. At some point with a gas generator you'll be burning a lot of fuel. Same with the small units if your trying to power an AC unit.
