Just looking for some information on expected lifespan or real world experience lifespan of the Honda EU7000IS. There is a lot of half brained speculation that says 2000hrs tops, I have 7400 hrs on a 3 year old unit and I've had my first GCU failure, other than that it has been great. This inverter generator charges and runs my off grid home so it never idles much. The inverter/charger is set low and pulls 5000 watts from the generator to charge the battery banks alone. I'm in need of a back up generator, as my old diesel has failed. Depending on the remaining life span I will either buy a new EU7000IS or opt for the significantly cheaper Yamaha EF7200DE (cap driven not inverter.)
Any info is appreciated.
