Engel Generator

[30-284]

And I suppose then these will have the plastic cranks and valves also like the honda.

I'd hope so. It looks like the same motor. Plastic is what makes them so light.

Probably helps to cut down on noise too

Nice looking unit.

The specs of the Engel unit show a square wave rather than the true sine described on the Fijisawa webpage. I'm sure Fijisawa makes a true sine inverter but I'd be surprised, for the price, if they put it in this generator.

Both Honda and Yamaha claim pure or true sine wave power but at a much higher price.

If you are running lights, charging batteries and powering fridges it might not matter to you anyway.

Can you elaborate on this... I noticed another website listing that the device CANT be used for A/C units? They say it makes some kind of loud whining because it is a square wave? I don't understand maybe someone can help?
