Agreed. IMHO, Hondas are the most reliable and hold their value well, and have a lot of service shops for them. You would still have to put it outside and run an extension cord or something.

I can’t see the specs for the machines, but if you need 500 watts total and you just need to run it for an hour or so in an emergency, you could do something like this, which you could use inside the apartment. But the Honda will run for days and days, this is more of an hour or maybe two type of thing:

As with all backup generators and other power solutions, you need to plan to practice with it, test it regularly, change the oil, keep stabilizer in the fuel, etc.
