Why are Honda engines the best engines for generators? Ask anyone who owns one and they will tell you the same thing. Honda engines are the most reliable engines in the industry. There are countless Chinese knockoffs of Honda engines and they cannot get them right. Even major companies such as Briggs and Stratton have started trying to produce Honda like generators. As they say, imitation is the best compliment. We have spoken with countless customers who own Honda equipment that is decades old and are still working just as perfectly as they did when they were new. Sometimes these Honda products are over 30 years old! What is the root of Honda’s success? Besides the fact that all Honda engines are designed so perfectly well, there are so few defects. That means less costly and inconvenient repairs. Another advantage is the large number of Honda repair shops and the availability of parts. In the unlikely event that your engine needs a repair it is easy to find a repair shop and get the parts you need.
