Jackery Explorer 160 vs Honda EU3000is

The Jackery Explorer 160 is a great Portable Generator for its $139 asking price.

The Honda EU3000is, however, while a reasonable product for $2399, doesn't stack up against its competitors quite as well. If you're considering Portable Generators in the $2,500 range, you might want to check out some better options.
