The price at Home Depot is $600, that is 60% of the price of a Honda. The Ryobi is rated at 63 dB while the Honda is 53 to 59 dB, depending on load. That means the Ryobi would sound 2 to 3 times louder than the Honda (every 3 dB doubles the energy), but 63 is still pretty quite. The Ryobi does have about 10% more power output than the Honda. If I do replace the Honeywell I'll have to take a hard look at the Ryobi.
