Cheap Generator Better Than Honda? Predator vs Honda & GENMAX—Let’s Settle This!

This guy is truly doing everyone an amazing service. What a champion.

Todd went this time the extra mile and sent the oil to the lab to ensure the most accurate results, this is turning from a YouTube channel to a serious testing facility. Amazing work as always!

My Honda EU2000i is over 20 years old, still running great. It got me through hurricane Charley in 2004 & IAN in 2022 in SW Florida. Getting 9 hours run time on a tank (ECO mode) powering large fridge, mini fridge, large chest freezer, fans and various lights & phone chargers. In 2022 I bought a EU2200 to have as a spare, haven't needed it yet ! Great testing, thanks.

I didn’t even know a generator review could be so well done. I’ve probably been watching generator reviews for the last eight years for various reasons and this is the gold standard.

One thing to remember on most of these generators is that the air intake for the cooling and the engine is through the bottom. So if you run them on gravel or grass, put some metal or plywood under them and the inside will stay much cleaner.

On the vein of generators, I use propane/gasoline dual input generators since propane is a bit easier to store and keep stable I just keep several tanks around. Next time you do generators, a propane based one would be interesting to see in both power and noise. Great as always!

This is the best comparison of any products online, least filler junk possible. I nominate your for a Emmy, Grammy, and a Nobel!

I would love to see some reviews and comparisons on whole house generators. Thank you for all of your videos, they have been a great help on countless things!

Project Farm is practically a messiah for the average consumer. He compares various products, cuts through all the marketing stuff with actual testing, and allows us to decide which product is the best overall, best for value for money and the worst. God bless this guy for the work he puts in for his video 👍

as a generator connoisseur, this is the video where you surpass consumer reports. Amazing work!

I’ve had a Honda Eu2000i (paired) for years. Thought it was quite expensive for a recreational generator but knew it was one of the best in terms of stable-smooth power. Once again, your vids are absolutely fantastic and vendors should take NOTE of this channel. Thanks! -Nokki / Dallas, TX

I bought a Generac 3000i because all the tests and comparisons I could find said it was at least as quiet as the Honda 2200, but it made more power and was less expensive. Would love to see how that Generac would do in one of your tests. Great work and thanks for doing what you do!

Honda, Yamaha & Champion are considered the big 3 in generators for job sites... would love to see Yamaha and Champion tested like this. Especially the oil test as nobody else does that and it's very indicative of engine longevity.

Would be interested in these tests on the Champion dual fuel generators. It's about the same price as the predator, but can run on propane too, which is great cause it runs way longer right from the tank and propane doesn't go bad.

Bro...your testing is SICK!!! thank you for taking the time to do this. I did not know anyone was doing such specific analysis!! I would like to see the common residential Standby Generators, big enough to power a home, say 20kw plus if you could get them sponsored for you do not have to pay of them. Champion, Generac Guardian Series, Kohler, Cummins, etc. BUT I would imagine this would be a huge comparison job. BUT with the way power is going and standby generators being so important I would hope that video would get tons of views. Thank you again!

Just witnessed the most thorough yet efficiently delivered comparison video ive ever seen.

I'm a Fleet Mechanic. We used to run Honda's for all our generators and water pumps. Due to operator error in leaving the fuel open and washing the cylinder walls on a regular basis we switched to Yamaha generators and water pumps. Under $400 cad, they perform just the same and they have all out lasted the old Honda's

In canada these generators are more expensive . While working for a rental company a customer returned a 2000w honda generator that had fell of a truck on the highway 😮 It was in a dozen or more pieces. The manager wrote it off, so my coworker began to reassemble the thing using jb weld and zip ties. It seriously looked like Frankenstein with all those zip ties for stiches, EVERYTHING worked except eco mode! Gotta love a honda!

I tell you before I buy anything I watch this guy test and determine which one is better . So thank you you are a real money saver and headache saver!!! U should take a look at Power-Bank-Solar-Charger … like for charging cell phones they are very handy on jobs where there’s no power. And frankly, you’re the only one I would trust to be 100% objective. .. just a idea

Thanks for another comprehensive test video from Project Farm. This kind of information is a great help for folks trying to choose between these products. I do wonder why the oil was measured by weight for this testing. I've always assumed that oil quantities were specified in terms of fluid ounces (volume), so I was puzzled by the use of a weighing scale for measuring "ounces" of oil for these generators.
