“can't start Brand new”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 04/11/2013

Honda? Bought brand new . First use Ran and shuts off by itself. Starts right up. Did that twice in 3 Hrs of use. Didn't think much. Put it back in the bos for 5 days. Put new gas and tried starting. Not sputter or nothing. Have to call the power tool place tomorrow. What a disappointment. Still on the charge card. I guess I got the only new Lemon around. I though my first Honada wouldn't give me problems for at least 2 years. I t hasn't even been a week. I would sacrifice Name brand and noise for a Generator that would just start!!!!!!!!!!

“The absolute Best”

★★★★★

written by on 10/11/2012

After Sandy I fired up two linked eu2000i Honda generators - ran them for 9 consecutive days - 7 of those days 24/7. They performed without a hitch! Ran everything from lights to frigs to microwave and oil burner/heat for hot water and heat! What else needs to be said. Combined a GenTran parrallel connector kit with an APC transfer switch and we were off and running. Tremendous machine.

“Ran Perfect for 11 camping seasons”

★★★★★

written by KansasCamper on 23/10/2012

Purchased a Honda EU2000i in 2002 for dry camping with my travel trailer. Use it probably 60 hours per season. Works flawlessly, starts easily, even after being unused for 6 months. Usually run it on premium gasoline without ethanol, at elevations up to 11,000 feet. Changed oil annually, no other maintenance. After 11 seasons the carburetor developed problems, presumably gummed up jet, will only run with choke partly closed and reduced power output. Never expected to get that kind of use before needing a repair.

“poor warranty service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by harold3 on 09/03/2012

I bought a Honda 2000i Generator 11/7/2011 from River Marine Miami. I brought it back to River Marine not working 12/6/2011. As of 3/8/2012 I still do not have a working Generator. I have also contacted Honda Power equipment to no avail. Owner and tech at River Marine have been pleasant but as yet have not to repair or replaced per warranty. They are an authorized service center for the product. Very poor customer service from River Marine and Honda

★★★☆☆

written by on 04/02/2011

After 4 months being stored with Stabil in it, it would only run on choke. The jets were reamed and 10 days later I tried to start it again and the same thing. The carburator is so sensitive it can't sit, even when the bowl is drained, and start. It's quiet though, especially when it doesn't run.

★☆☆☆☆

written by thall on 05/11/2010

I have a 3 year old 2000 EU Honda, a few weeks ago the entire thing caught on fire while being run. Internal parts melted and very luckily the thing did not blow up. My unit had only 50 or 60 hours of run time on it. Honda service rep had all kinds of excuses and basically blamed it on user error. One of his excuses was that I must have parked my car next to it and hot exaust burned a whole in the side of the plastic. I realized that the unit was not under warranty, but I fully expected Honda to stand behind their products, I guess I was wrong. I will be contacting the Federal safety comission and send them pictures of the melted and burned Honda unit. Very dissapointed in Honda in how they dealt with me. The service rep even went so far as to black out his email and phone # on his card, so I could not contact him again. Please let me know if anyone has heard of similar issues. [email protected]

“Great inverter, however my only beefs are it is a pain...”

★★★★☆

written by on 03/08/2010

Great inverter, however my only beefs are it is a pain to fill with gas, and to change the oil. When filling with gas you have to pour very slow, if you are filling from a full jerry can expect to make a mess. The second issue is changing oil, impossible to do without making a huge mess, the oil drains into the bottom of the inverter and onto the legs, so be sure not to put it on the floor of your RV or truck, very little thought put into this by the manufacturer.

The Honda EU2000i is an outstanding unit. I've had other portable generators - non compare. Easy start - very reliable starting; usually first pull.
Very quiet
Easy to handle/move

★★★★★

written by on 05/02/2009

The Honda EU2000i is worth every penny! I love it! I bought two and use the "parallel kit" to power up our trailer's 15.5 BTU air conditioner! Works like a champ! ((((QUIET)))) That feature can't be beat by ANY other manufacturer! Sips gas! Very fuel efficient. Provides nice pure SIN wave, which is a must for sensitive electronics (i.e. lap tops etc...). Very reliable and durable. Makes a mess when you change the oil yourself. You have to lay the generator on it's side to drain the oil. If there is fuel in the carbuerator, it will also pour out all over the place. You have to drain the little carbuerator fuel bowl screw first before you tip the generator on it's side for the oil drain.

“I kind of have a obsession for playing with my new...”

★★★★★

written by Thebigmac420 on 22/09/2008

I kind of have a obsession for playing with my new generator. I have pretty much been running my Honda EU2000I hard non stop for six weeks now minus a few hard rain days we had, I had to put it away (bummer). I have a 15 thousand dollar Macintosh quad core (4 processors each processors (running at 3.2 gigahertz) with L4 cache= a total of 8 megabytes of cache total) dual 1050 gigahetz front side bus and ten gigs of ram, four 750 gig hard drives, a A.T.I. X 1900 512 megabytes high definition video card and a 23 inch high definition Apple cinema display. That is basically what I have been powering with my Honda. The computer only draws about 600 watts when I don't have much running but it can't take allot more depending on how much I open up.

I run the Honda hard because I am putting it to the test. I bought a few Magna inverters off of E-Bay and all three broke in the first week and I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for besides there is no one willing to work on them because no small engine mechanic knows where to get the parts for the cheap pieces of crap. I also went through a Duro Power in two weeks after those, STAY AWAY FROM "DURO POWER LIKE THE PLAGUE! Duro Power does not back there warranty at all, they told me they would send out the parts to me but it was up to me to fix it! What a joke and I have read in other forums that other people have had the same warranty problems with "Duro Power".

I would say my honda has well over 250 hours on it now. I change the oil about every 35 to 45 hours. I only use full synthetic 10w30 Mobile 1 oil in it. As a matter of fact the Honda is providing power to this computer right now as I type this forum. I clean out the air filter once a week and do all the maintenance as required to it. It comes with the two year residential warranty so I am not afraid to play with it like it's a toy. I live in the Chicago suburbs so if it does break and the Honda dealer gives me a hard time about honoring the warranty, I am not worried about it because there are about 50 more dealers within a 30 minute drive from me. I am not to worried about my Honda dealer not honoring the warranty because I already took it back for the rough idle and they where all smiles and the owner of the shop said come on in the the back with your generator and let's take a look at it. They put all the other customers aside that where not there at the time being and and worked on my carburetor and gave it some adjustments and told me not to be afraid to come back if I have any other problems. They even ran load tests on it for me and I did not ask them to do that.

As for the few people I have read forums on about having there piston rod stretching and snapping, they must not have been giving there generators regular oil changes and I work with my uncle in his full automotive shop helping him pull engines and transmissions and stuff like that. I asked my uncle if it's possible to have a piston rod that is a non hardened metal and he laughed and said it would be impossible to put a non hardened piston rod in an engine and expect it to work. The piston rod is what takes the most abuse. I also asked the mechanic at Honda and I basically got the same answer and his reply was it is a hardened rod. I change the oil on a regular basis and I am sure most of you know that a air cooled engine runs much hotter than a liquid cooled engine, that is why I use full synthetic Mobile 1 oil, it protects up to 400 degrees and is very hard to get to break down and create sludge in the motor. Mobile 1 also will help the EU2000I run much cooler.

What people are saying about the overhead cam making the engine run much hotter than just over head valves is a MYTH!!

PIece to all.

“I just bought a Honda EU2000i generator after...”

★★★★★

written by on 10/09/2008

I just bought a Honda EU2000i generator after hurricane Gustav knocked out power to most of Baton Rouge, where I live. When the electric company told me it would be 3 weeks before power came on, I broke down and bought the generator. I'd been holding out because of concerns about noise and fuel consumption, but when a friend showed me their Honda Eu1000i, I decided to get the generator. It has started instantly for me, and I get 12 hours of run time on 1.1 gallons of gas. I'm running a small refrigerator, fans, a television, and multiple chargers as well as a laptop computer. I've also run a microwave and a rice cooker on it, although with the microwave and rice cooker going, I turned off the television. I actually went out in the middle of the night last night to restart my generator when I heard it die, only to find out that my neighbors generator 2 doors down had died, not mine. Mine was still running, it was just more quiet 50 feet away than my neighbors several houses down. The maintenance has been very easy, since the generator is running 24/7, I've had to do several oil changes. They can be done quickly and cleanly. The unit always starts on the first pull, and it is easy to move. Overall, I am extremely happy with this item and would purchase one again in a heartbeat.

“I bought this Honda eu2000i for use in an old classic...”

★★★★☆

written by maybe1 on 09/06/2008

I bought this Honda eu2000i for use in an old classic motor home I am lovingly restoring. I had originally planned on getting two and combining them to met AC requirements in combination with computer use and other light demands.
Superficially, the eu2000i is an easy unit to fall in love with.
Unfortunately, I know Honda for not standing behind their warranties. I learned this first hand with a commercial 13 hp ohv Honda engine on a pressure washer. Honda said water got into the cylinder and caused damage to the piston - my loss.
I still buy Honda based primarily on its reputation for longevity, but I am of the opinion that this unit is designed with the weekender more in mind while Hinda promotes it in its commercials as being suited for commercial filming on desert islands. That's an enormous expense to go to and rely on two units. That tells me Honda wants to assure me that construction guality isn't an issue with this unit.
With a limited oil supply for cooling, an oil splashing device that tends to break, a soft metal connecting rod, which tends to stretch in excess heat, and an engine that Honda chose to utilise is a hotter running over head cam engine instead of the cooler running over head valve engine, I wonder where Honda has placed its engineering focus on this unit.
I am going to give careful reconsideration to spending another thousand dollars plus for a generator I will need to accept was not built to run like my Honda Helix, which I think of as being bullet proof.

I'm not saying that this unit might not last for many years of flawless service, but it doesn't have the beef for the peace of mind I would rather associate with its intended purpose.

★★★★★

written by on 05/01/2008

If on eco throttle and a sizeable start up load is applied...(small air conditioner) the unit will many times die. Solution for this is to wait at the generator for the three minutes that the a/c unit takes to start the compressor with the eco switch off, then keep thermostat on a/c unit low enough that it never turns off and go to eco setting for quiet operation.I use it on a boat for ac, heat, battery charging etc...typical Honda product.

“I plan to get another one so I can run the other...”

★★★★★

written by sperry on 10/02/2007

I plan to get another one so I can run the other things. The oven will need a 220V transformer to work it. (Outback or Xantrex) You would wire it just as if you had a single 120V inverter and needed 240V.

The smooth sine wave output is as clean as ac utility power as far as I have experienced. The exception is the motor start of the refrigerators and furnace fan. When the eco-throttle switch is on, the engine needs to quickly compensate for the load when these appliances start up.
With these and if you have a satellite system (TV or internet..), a video game or of course some computer equipment, it's best to have UPS' connected to them for the power "dip". Just power down the UPS's themselves when they're not in use of course.

The (Whirpool) gas dryer motor just takes too much to start it with this generator. I even tried it with the ECO-Throttle off and a short cord.
The (Whirlpool) washer worked connected that way through all cycles.

Perhaps the Yamaha 2400W? generator with the high motor start (and electric start) will work out for this. But then again, that's a power step-up and a more thirsty generator. I'll just parallel mine and run the other when I need it.

I'm certainly happy with my EU2000i, as I don't have any commercial power at my place. I intend to use it as a main power source until my solar electric system is installed, then they may get some more rest!

“This is my 2nd Honda EU2000. I live in the high...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by swlimos on 31/01/2007

This is my 2nd Honda EU2000. I live in the high desert of Utah. -20 winter +115 in summer. First unit blew up in 90 days after rod stretched, and took out head. Before engine loss, oil shut-off switch failed. Pull cord failed. Honda okayed repair under warranty after some bickering, but dealer went out of business, and unit was lost. Its was used to power motor home, and misc.
Bought my 2nd EU2000 roughly 10 months ago, same environment, but use limited to supplement solar system maybe an hour a day. It died from same problem after 10 months of use. I change oil religiously, but the Honda dealer I bought this one from online states there is foreign material in crankcase, the oil splash system is broken, rod stretched and was near blowing. States due to material in crankcase, no warranty. I asked for evaluation of material to determine source, and still await some kind of response. A small engine mechanic advised me of engine oil capacity, the soft rod material and problems with getting contaminants from crankcase when changing oil. I have not heard from Honda as of yet either. Warning: these units are for limited light use only, in moderate climates. Just a note - I've had a Honda Magna motorcycle for almost 20 years, and it doesn't even use oil.

Ulysses's Response to swlimos's Review

Written on: 16/02/2007

My first Honda EU2000 generator died shortly after the plastic oil splasher failed. It had about 12,000 hours on it. My second EU2000 died shortly after the plastic oil splasher failed. It had about 5200 hours on it. I've had it repaired twice by Honda under warranty, but it sure looks to me like severe engine damage occurs when the oil splasher fails, and these puppies are not designed to be rebuilt. It gets up to about 120F where I live, and down to about 20, so I guess that's pretty severe weather for me too. Anyone know if the flywheel shaft on other Honda engines (CG135 perhaps) is the same as the alternator shaft on the EU2000 (which is supposedly a GX100, but I thought the GX was an OHV and the EU2000 engine is an OHC with a plastic cam)? I'm thinking of making a Frankenstein type monster out of it. For $900 I expected a rebuildable engine.

“I am a master electrician. I have first hand...”

★★★★★

written by fatmike on 04/11/2005

I am a master electrician. I have first hand experience with 8 of the Honda EU2000i units. I own one with a second on the way to replace my Honda EM2500 from 1993, the 2500 still works perfect but it is louder and uses more gas because it runs at only one speed 3 gallons every 11 hours. With a parallel eu 2000i set up I expect about 6 gallons a day. With both generators running when I do not need 4000 watt capacity I will turn off one of the generators further reducing my fuel consumption. My current arrangement is about 8.5 gallons a day with 1 eu2000i and 1 EM2500 watt unit. My load consists of 2 fridges, 1 full size freezer making block ice for those who need it, the main house lights, fans, TV and the guest house lights fans and TV.

This is the deal with these generators, they are 1600 watts continuous and 2000 watts peak for up to 30 minutes. An average load for a single house with out power is about 960 watts; this is the fridge, some lights, a TV and a fan or two. Your fridge requires about 1200 watts to start (approx 3-5 seconds) and 200 watts to run, if your load is 1000, watts or less, 200 of which is your fridge running, you have no worries, you have an extra 1000 watts for the start of your fridge.

My neighbour lives alone and had a light load for Wilma, she ran 24 hours a day heated the water heater for 2 hours a day and used less than 3 gallons a day. Without the water heater she used 2.25 gallons per day. Another friend finally had enough with his 4400 watt Homelite with a Briggs engine (7 gallons a day), and bought a eu2000i he runs a full size fridge and a full size freezer on the Honda, plus lights and a TV at night he gets 10 hours a tank filled all the way to the top, still less than 3 gallons a day.

How to get hot water with a 120 volt generator, first consult with an qualified individual before making any modifications, simple, swap the bottom 240 volt element with a 120v, 1500watt element and convert the wiring for a bottom only 120 volt configuration. My house takes 4 hours to heat 53 gallons, 6 showers and hot water to do dishes.

This year I ran my 20 year old wall unit A/C it draws 1032 watts, it used 1 gallon for 8 hours of run time. Most 4500 btu wall units use around than 720 watts now. This will leave enough capacity for the fridge to cycle with a night light in the bathroom. As long as both units do not cycle at the same time the generator will not trip. My co-worker has this arrangement he gets 8-10 hours of runtime depending how hot it is.

This generator creates near perfect electricity, meaning you get more bang for your buck, without risking your fridge, big screen TV, computer,etc. With electronics, hertz and volts are the name of the game, both are incredibly steady with this machine, hertz only fluctuate very little, hovering around the normal 60. Many of the cheaper machines are as high as 67 hertz; this is terrible for motors and electronics.

With large gauge extension cords, it is amazing how much you can get accomplished with 2000 watts and 3 gallons a day. Also I believe there will be a quiet time in the enforced in the future. Because with traditional generators, in some neighbourhoods, with the noise level and fumes make sleeping with your windows open impossible.

I never want to wait in line for 5 hours to get 7 gallons of gas but with this generator with 7 gallons can get you almost 3 days of continuous run time. At 3 gallons a day you will spend about $60 a week in gas with a traditional 5500 watt monster you are looking at $180. This year at my house we had about 12 days of no power about $101 dollars in fuel with only the eu2000i running vs. a 5500 home depot special at about 8 gallons a day 8 x 12= 96 gallons x $2.80 per= $269-$101=$168+$600(purchase price)= $768 a new Honda is $870 on the web $870-$768=$102 the difference is only 36 gallons of gasoline which is 3.2 days with a traditional generator. How long were you out this year? Not to mention the difference in decibels 60 for the Honda vs. 75db for the others.

Great review, just went through Wilma with a EU2000i using just 5 gal in five days - running about 10 to 14 hrs a day. Our expert reviewer confirms that a 1600 Watt Honda will more than do the job and that a typical house needs just 1K watts to run the core functions. Those big noisy generators were using 5 to 8 gals per day (they must convert 1/2 of that energy to noise production).

Written on: 18/06/2007

Well it is that time again hurricane season in Miami. I got my dry run of generator usage in all ready I had the light pole behind my house come down two weeks ago, I was out for 13 hours. So I had a chance to test a few things. I traded some labor for a Kipor Inverter 3000, I made a 10/3 cord connection for it to the house, through this connection it will not operate the washing machine, however with a large gauge cord, 12/3, plugged directly in the generator it would, still not perfect but much better. I tested this issue with a honda eu3000i and had the same results. I have one friend that a single eu 2000 will run her washing machine, so your exact conditions may vary. However with the 2 eu 2000's (1 replaced after the divorce) it would operate the washing machine. It seems like there is a disproportionaly stronger punch with the 2 eu 2000's than with one eu 3000 for most all applications. For those of you thinking about a Kipor unit they are copies of the Hondas, not exact copies I already need to rebuild the carb (less than 50 hours on this machine) on the Kipor ( I know its complete history) because the fuel shut off valve does not work any longer and the seat inside the bowl does not stop the fuel. I have found only one dealer for parts and support here in Miami. Also the Kipors are not coupleable. The 3000 watt kipor seems to preform reasonable well, however I do not get that warm fuzzy feeling if I had to use it as my primary generator. Oh and changing the oil on the kipor is even worse than changing the oil on the Honda eu2000's, buy an Jabsco oil pump from West Marine for about $40 it is worth every penny, for either unit. The pump requires a drill to drive it. Unless you have two generators you will need a charged cordless drill. Also Pep Boys sells a "transmission fluid filler" for five bucks, it screws directly onto a quart oil bottle of oil with its long hose and valves it make a wonderful solution to funnels and small spills while filling the oil on any generator. If you still are on the fence about the eu 2000 you can buy one then if you need more power you can buy second one later or if you have close family or friends if they will buy one you can couple the units for more power when you need it. For those of you with large families you can loan one to her parents and one to your parents less fighting and guilt. I am not disputing the failures one the previous reviewer has experienced, I am very curious as to the exact conditons these units were operating under, are the units in the direct sun? Because it is very hot here after hurricanes and very few people ever shut their generators off until their power is restored. Mine ran for nine days after Wilma in 2005. More when I have it.

I also found Honda's service to be lacking. I recently took my second eu2000 to an authorized dealer because the little plastic gear inside the crankcase was broken. They did some tests and told me there was nothing wrong with the generator. I ran it that night and it quit running after about 2 hours. It appears to be deceased. BTW, the gear can be seen through the oil fill hole, but by the time you discover it is broken, it may be too late, as I suspect this gear is a main part of the lubrication system for the cylinder, rings and piston. On both my eu2000s the oil turned black, and they ran poorly immediately after the gear broke. Also, there is no replacement engine or over-sized piston for this unit, so when it wears out you are supposed to just buy a new one. They built it for durability but not for servicing. My first one lasted about 12,000 hours, and the second just over 5,000.

I don't get what you mean by "you get what you pay for" when referring to the gas leak/float problem. A gas leak is a serious problem and these thing are not cheap. My float did not correct itself after tapping or running for a few hours. It had to be taken to an authorized Honda dealer for repairs, where it remained for about 2 weeks. When it was returned to me, my new generator was scratched up and filthy. I expected more from Honda, especially since I paid a premium for this generator. I should have purchaed it's chinese clone, the kipor kge2000ti .

I have received my second EU2000i when you couple the generators the engine speed goes up and down on both machines even if only one machine has a load. I would recommend that you do use the parallel cables with a 30 amp. receptacle if you plan on having a heavy load regularly. I also discovered two more neighbours that have this same machine both are very happy.

I have had my Honda EU2000i for almost a year. It replaced a Coleman as the primary unit with the Coleman as a back-up. I just bought another EU2000i to replace the loud gas sucking Coleman. I live in Florida and have gone through 4 hurricanes and use these for emergency power. I have used a lot of different brands and types but I have to say I am sold on the EU2000i.
