This is my second purchase of this generator. The first one drowned in Hurricane Ian but in the brief time that I owned it I was really impressed with the unit so I bought another one. Lightweight is important to me because I move it around on my boat from the storage position to the operating position. An important feature is the serviceability of this generator. I like the clamshell design for the covers on both sides. Many small generators are difficult to service, not this one. Another small factor in its favor is the fact that you can buy a cover for it for half the price of a Honda cover. The only thing that I would like to see in a future model is a 30 amp plug. Either that or an adapter which securely fits into the existing twp 15 amp sockets
