Honda EU2000i

The best portable generator review comes from the Honda EU2000i gas generator. If a quiet portable generator is what you are looking for then a super quiet 53 to 59db at seven feet is less than actual human speech. 

Lightweight for its portable power at less than 47 pounds and a parallel port to link two Honda EU2000 generators together with an optional cable give you up to 4000 watts of power from the generator outlets.

Operating the Honda Eco-throttle with this unit provides up to 15 hours of operation with just a single gallon of gas at one quarter load and four hours a full load. Advanced inverter technology provides a constant sine wave that gives a constant reliable power to electrically sensitive items such as computers and printers. Experts say to avoid a cheap portable generator if you do not with to ruin your $1,000 laptop with a power surge.

Protected by Hondas “Oil Alert” patented technology the Honda EU2000i will shut itself down it oil levels below a safe operation level is reached. The engine is a Honda GX100 with a displacement of 98.5 cc of power and is a four stroke engine that is air-cooled with overhead valves. Recoil start and a USDA spark arrested muffler.

Providing 2000 watts of AC power and 96 watts of DC power the Honda EU2000i portable generator can run a microwave, refrigerator, hair dryer, circular saw, coffee maker, toaster, and small air conditioning unit. Not all at the same time, but just add up the watts to be no greater than 2000 or 4000 if you are using the parallel port and link two units together. A nice three year residential warranty and a 3 year commercial warranty is also provided from Honda.

Honda EU2000i reviews online are very impressive to say the least. Most comments talk about how quiet the units are and unobtrusive in any situation. The Honda name itself is a big draw as they are known for putting out a great product that is reliable and usually very well built. Being on the high end price wise does not really affect those that research and know the performance of the Honda EU2000i.

From personal experience I have been using this unit for a few years and would not buy any other make of this particular size. It has never let me down and I have used it for camping, fishing, hunting, power tools, and especially when the power goes out and I need to have the necessities like a sump pump or refrigerator operational. At these times price does not matter. A Honda Eu2000i that you can depend on can easily save you thousands of dollars in home repairs with just one bad storm.

If you check Ebay listings there is usually multiple bids almost all the time if priced properly. The Honda EU2000i is certainly a hot item and big seller.
