I have read through all the posts and went to my trusty Northern tool catalog that I received last week. I noticed that Honda also has an EU 3000 ($1,800). Does anyone have any experience with this model? Northern also offers a North Star brand (5500 watt) equipped with a Honda engine and muffler for $1,100. The price difference is substantial though I do not have a real feel for the difference in noise generated by the units. I would like to have something for home in emergency situations as well as to use while camping when necessary. Any advice??
