Correct they are. Interestingly though having worked for a large Honda gen dealer the vast majority that we saw were built in China or at least tagged that way. Since we also serviced the units we took apart a predator 3500 and the build quality was on par with the Honda. Consumer reports only knocks the predators due the the standard 90 harbor freight warranty.
As for personal experience I got a free non functional Honda eu3000 that has 4 hours on it and a mouse had eaten the wiring harness. Fixed it up and sold it for near new cost. Wiring harness was not cheap but still. All in all I could buy 3 predators for the cost of 1 new Honda. Personal preference but still. Also the Honda carb worked on the predator so I would be surprised if it was not in some way a reversed engineered gen set.
