The review you referenced here is for the 3000 model generator not the 2700. Also if anyone is still interested here is a link where I found it for $799.00

If I didn't already have 2 Honda 2000's I would be looking at this generator...

Looking at the close up pictures I see an outlet for a 30 Amp RV plug, and the DC plug. Does anyone know what is directly below the key switch, covered by a round outlet cover?

Yes I understand that the review was for the larger model. There were no reviews for the smaller one. Review was more directed at the company and it's past performance. particularly the comments on overstated ratings.

Sorry for any confusion.

I'm pretty sure that it is a standard household 120VAC outlet.

Now my question. The key has 3 positions - STOP-ON-START. What is the START position? Surely this thing doesn't have an electric starter! Well, apparently it does, if it has a remote-control keychain starter. No details given regarding the battery, though, and I sure don't see a space for one in the pictures.

Bill,
In fact it does! And remote start and shut-off as well...that's what makes it so intriguing...

Bill - It says it has electric start in the title on the product description page.

It also apparently has remote start, which wouldn't be possible without an electric starter. The starter and the starter battery is probably a bit of the added weight. It weighs 76 lbs vs. 46 lbs for the Honda EU2000.

Whoops....Chip beat me to it.

OK, I'm looking at the picture. The specs say the size is 22 x 11.5 x 20 inches, and yet none of the dimensions appear to exceed two hand widths. Now I don't know about you, but I don't have an 11-inch fist. And those little wheels look like the size of my thumbnail.

I have no knowledge of this generator - but I'm confused.
