I have the Honda 2000 also. Its a great unit and I've had 0 issues with it in the 4 years i've had it. Seems every time I take it to the track (or where ever) it gets compliments on how quiet it is. I liked it so much, when I got a camper that required a new generator I got the 6500eu. It gets the exact same compliments. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter because of all the other loud generators running.
