The latest iteration of the Honda 2000, is the Honda EU 2200I . It is about 10% more powerful, quieter, and has a fuel shut off valve, so you can run the carburetor dry! This is a very desirable feature.
I have one of the very first small Honda generators--it was rated at 800 watts surge 550 watts sustained. It is almost 40 years old, has traveled with me over 100,000 miles on the water and across several oceans--still runs well. During one of the major storms, it powered neighbor's freezer and refrigerator for 6 weeks.
I have run the 1000 and 2000 Hondas for several thousand hours cumulatively. I have a friend who has over 2000 hours on his Honda EU 2000i.
I love the new 2200 Honda--seems easier to start and not having to drain the carburetor is a real plus.
If you go to the RV, Cruising boat and Ham radio forums, there is a bit of information on all of the copies of the Honda (Wen, Ghonda, Champion, Ryobi, Preditor, Generac, Northern Tool, etc. and a bunch or others). The Yamaha, consistently gets good reviews, but I have heard of a few issues where it would not run a water maker. Many have good luck with ones like the HF Predator. Those who have longer term use, tend to find much better service with Honda and Yamaha. Parts may be hard, or impossible to find for the Predator. Ham radio reviews show that the power output is "dirty" where as the Honda is very clean. (This means voltage spikes and RF interference--probably a function of the inverter section).
Consumer reports compared Honda and Predator. Honda won by only a hair. One of the differences was warrantees: Honda 3 years, Predator 90 days. Their recommendation, if you want it for camping--the Predator. If you want power backup for the home in real emergency: Honda.
