Not surprised that they're so quiet. Both are slightly under 20% capacity. For a more practical test I'd have them with a 50% load.

I'm surprised the Yamaha isn't fuel injected. For what they charge, you'd think it would be. Great comparison, Gavin!

Do not ever buy Honda, it is 2 1/2 to 3 times more money always. U can buy 2 or more of the other brand & it will always outlast Honda forever. A few minutes more is never worth $3000 more. Most generators made in China nowadays, included Honda.
8% difference. 6 grands versus ~4 grands. I would take the Yamaha as a backup gen.

Have been a Yamaha guy all my life, I couldn't go blue for the Generators. From what I've seen it's $350-$500 difference and, to me, the Honda wins in fit, function, looks, capacity and capability. Both Honda and Yamaha need to offer more for the buck. I also feel the Yamaha is dated at this point.

Can you run a pure sine wave inverter in line with a regular generator and hook up sensitive equipment to the inverter to charge them, is this possible 🤔. I have a brand new generator but it's not an inverter built in and I'd hate to have to buy another generator with a built in inverter to replace it.
