    Bad Points: N/A


    General comments: 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

    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 o ...

    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 vide ...

    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 ref ...

    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 ca ...

    I use the eu2000i during extreme temperatures in northern Minnesota ice fishing. One night the temperature got down to -37, the generator didn't even hickup.
    Best investment

    It's such a great generator that even my 9 year old daughter could start it. The ease in portablity for this generator was A+.
    I highly recommend this machine for light weight portable work. Honda delivers.

    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.

    As far as small generators, I have not seen a better one. It's quiet, fuel efficient and true sine wave

    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 ...

    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 hou ...

    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 c ...

    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.

    I have only had the Honda EU2000i for 6 months but it runs like promised. Very quiet almost sounds like a small fish tank air pump when running at full load. My neighbours are impressed with it and they want to get one. I am going to get another one and hook them up in parallel and attach them to a transfer switch for my house. This is the generator to get no matter what any one else says.

    Bought my Honda EU2000i a month ago. After starting it up and running for several minutes, I immediately put it into storage in my garage. I started it up the other day to show my friend how quiet it was, it started perfectly and ran quiet. However, it also spewed gas out the bottom of the unit. Running for 5 minutes caused it to leak about a cup of gas. When I called the dealer, they indicated that several of their customers were having the same problem. Apparently Honda may be having problem ...

    I've been using my Honda EU2000i daily for about 2 1/2 years. It has over 6000 hours on it and still runs great!!! I change the oil about every 60 hours (20 hours recommended by Honda) and the oil is still clear and only slightly brown after this amount of time. It is still very easy to start. I have changed the spark plug only one time. The spark arrestor has broken (around 4000 hours) and the starting rope needed to be replaced at about 3000 hours. My main complaint is that the Eco-Throt ...
