What You Get

Reliability. Honda has an unmatched reputation for reliable generators that offer dependable starts and keep running year after year.
Fuel efficiency. Honda’s superior technology means increased fuel efficiency and longer run times.
Quiet. Thanks to the use of inherently quiet four-stroke engines and superior technology, Honda generators boast incredibly low decibel levels.
Portability. Honda generators are made for true portability, from lightweight, easy-to-carry models to those with wheeled transport kits.
No More Interruptions. Honda’s scientifically developed technologies make it possible to offer consistent delivery of “clean power” which means more reliability and less interruptions. Honda’s inverter technology allows the most sensitive electronics such as computers and power-sensitive testing equipment – which shut down easily between the initial power loss and the generator kick-in – to operate without interruptions from remote locations.

Honda EU2000i

When Quiet Counts, Count on Honda! Honda means QUIET!
At only 46.3 lbs, the EU2000i utilizes Honda's "state of the art" inverter technology to provide 2000 watts of lightweight, quiet and efficient power. This generator will run up to 15 hours on a single tank of gas when used with the Eco-Throttle feature. This easy starting generator produces only 59dB of sound at 7 meters with a full load, which is less than the rating of common speech. The Honda Inverter Technology makes this generator ideally suited for use with sensitive electronics (e.g., computer, fax, printer, and telephone, stereo) because the generator produces a clean sine wave of energy that prevents surging. To prevent any possible damage to the unit, the Oil Alert will shut the unit off when the oil drops below a safe operating level. The unit also has a DC terminal for use when charging 12-volt automotive type batteries. 2000 watts is able to start and run these common devices and appliances.
- Full Size Micro Wave Ovens, standard refrigerators.
- Larger Power Tools i.e. circular saw
- Resistive Load Kitchen Appliances (i.e. Coffee Maker, Toaster, small a/c units etc).

Honda Industrial EB6500 Generator

The Honda Industrial EB6500 generator includes a 13 HP overhead valve engine with a max wattage of 6500. The model features 2 20A duplex receptacles and 2 30A locking plug receptacles. The same great features of the Honda industrial line are included in this model as well including full panel GFCI and automatic voltage regulators. The MSRP of the EB6500 is $3198.95 which is slightly over $500 more than the Honda EB5000 generator. That means $500 for an extra 1500 watts which is not a bad deal.

GENERATOR WATTAGE CALCULATOR
Depending on how you will use your generator, there are different categories to meet your needs. This can include recreation, home standby and construction. Honda also offers Inverter Generators. Inverter generators are smaller and lighter as power is created electronically and not through a conventional alternator. Inverter power offers the cleanest power output, ideal for sensitive electronic devices.

If you want a generator for home standby, for example, if you want to run your refrigerator, youll need at least 2500 watts or more. And if you want to use a transfer switch so that power can go directly into your home, youll want a generator with at least 3000 watts.

Youll also need to consider the maximum and rated power of the generator. This is important depending on what items you want to run off of your generator. Items such as toaster, lamps, and coffee makers are resistive, or constant loads and their total load can be calculated at amps x 1. Items such as saws and drills are reactive loads and while the running load may be small, the starting load should be calculated at running amps x 3. Remember, after the intial start less power is required for actual operation.

Always remember that simple power management will allow a smaller generator to do a big job. Very seldom are all tools or appliances operating simultaneously. When calculating power requirements, consider the starting requirements are only for the initial start and then additional tools may be operated in addition.

Remember Ohms Law from High School Physics?
Watts = Volts x Amps
Amps = Watts/Volts

So if you have two of the numbers (e.g. volts, amps) then you can find out the other (e.g. watts). This can help you to determine the rated power that youll need from your generator.

Honda EU1000i

When Quiet Counts, Count on Honda! Honda means QUIET!
This super quiet generator is extremely portable (at only 29 lbs.) as well as fuel efficient, running up to 8.3 hours on a single tank of gas when used with the Eco-Throttle feature. This easy starting generator produces only 59dB of sound at 7 meters running at full load, which is less than common speech. The Honda Inverter Technology makes this generator ideally suited for use with sensitive electronics (e.g., computer, printer, and other sensitive electronic equipment) because the generator produces a clean sine wave of energy that prevents surging. To prevent any possible damage to the unit, the Oil Alert will shut the unit off when the oil drops below a safe operating level. The unit also has a DC terminal for use when charging 12-volt automotive type batteries.

Honda EU3000i

When Quiet Counts, Count on Honda! Honda means QUIET!
The EU3000is maintains the impressive rating of 48 - 58dB (less than that of common speech even at rated load), and it will run for up to 20 hours on a single tank of gas when used with the Eco-Throttle feature. This impressive generator provides 3000 watts of power and weighs only 134lbs. The Honda Inverter Technology makes this generator ideally suited for use with sensitive electronics (e.g., computer, fax, printer, telephone, stereo) because the generator produces a clean sine wave of energy that results in no surging. To prevent any possible damage to the unit, the Oil Alert will shut the unit off when the oil drops below a safe operating level. The available power is commonly used for the following typical electric devices:
- Full Size Micro Wave Ovens
- Larger Power Tools i.e. circular saw
- Resistive Load Kitchen Appliances (i.e. Coffee Maker, Toaster)
- Roof Top RV Air Conditioner
- Emergency Home Back up power where no 220 power is required
