HeyY'all
I was leaning real hard towards the Honda generators when I walked into Northern Tool & Equipment. They had a couple of token Hondas on the shelf, and a whole bunch of their own brand, the Northstar powered by Honda Engines. They are noticeably less expensive then the Honda models.
Of course the salesman said they were every bit as reliable and quiet as the Honda, just less expensive cause I wasn't paying for the Name. This may be true, I don't know. I've never even started a generator, much less owned any.
Anyone out there have experience with this line of generators or suggestions of things I should be checking for. If it helps, my 5er can hook to either 50amp or 30amp service.
Thanks
Eddie
