7000w Bluetooth Generator, must have incredible range.
It melted my earpiece.
I see what you did there. Hah
You can be quite assured that a 7kW transmitter would send that Bluetooth signal out several miles without much effort. However, I too was quite disappointed by the fact that this generator could only do 7kW peak power and 5.5kW continuous power. However, that would actually be enough to charge a Tesla at an average speed of approximately 35 miles per hour, comparable to plugging it into a high-power wall connector running on a 240V@30A supply like what the average laundry dryer unit uses.
@@scratchpad7954 Using a generator to charge a extremely expensive electric car. Huh!
@@Fixin-To Ik
I have one. It is the best i have ever owned. Very very quiet. Starts in very cold weather. Usually last 2 days without re-fueling. Used on construction sites. 8 hours a day running
I bought one of these. Awesome machine! Quiet, and very efficient. Starts itself ,with a little push on the button. You do not need to hold the button, just give it one push and the computer will do the rest. I paired mine with an automatic transfer switch, so I don't have to mess around flipping circuit breakers. Mine is the APC unit, and I highly recommend it.
Sounds like the exact set-up I want to buy ...... which APC ATS did you buy/install (and what was the $ for the ATS)? Thank you!
Weird how so many of the pieces of high availability power solutions in data centers are now available to the average consumer. I'd wonder if there's some way to tie a goal zero 3000 to a Honda eu7000 and during a power outage have it VERY quickly switch to batteries, fire up the generator with auto-start, then flip over to that? Some kind of ATS would be needed to tie it all together. (And some controller.)
I bit the bullet and bought one. After using a generac for years I got tired of the noise especially when running for days. I love the Honda. Is amazing to be able to have a normal conversation with someone while standing next to it. It powers my entire house except for the AC.
That's great to hear. It's a lot of money but it is a really great machine. Should be noted also that I sold my old one, 7 years old for 75% of what I paid originally and it sold in 30 minutes. Made upgrading a lot easier on my wallet!
@@SilverCymbal Well that gets me thinking it might be worth the upgrade. If only the generator could let itself out of the garage and hook itself up I’d be 100% sold.
Nothing beats HONDA generators. Efficient and quiet and will last for lifetime if you take care of it.

How hard is it to replace the co-minder unit?
@@rizano7066 Im not sure about that yet, the Eu2200i control panel is fairly easy to open as I did in my other video. This one is more difficult. I am not sure if you can just pop it out through the front, I am waiting to confirm with this a dealer or if I can get a service manual. I will share this as soon as I find out
@@SilverCymbal Thank you. My EM7000is still runs like new. I take good care of it but it’s 16 years old at this point. I would like to purchase a 2nd unit and use the EM7000is as a secondary backup.
Have you done any videos on solar generators and what's your opinion of them
Purchased this th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y after researching several brands.Reasons for picking this one was, dual fuel, I don't have to carry gasoline and stink up my truck bed!Propane is so much cleaner.Quiet 62 db, won't piss off neighboring campers!Less than 100 lbs, can lift in to truck bed.I can run my 30 foot Transcend 261BH, AC among other appliances.
Hey!! I bought your old Eu7000is. Randomly just watched this video about your new one. I feel like I know a TH-cam celebrity. Great videos!!
This is a fantastic video. I have the previous version EU7000is and I recently modified it to run on natural gas and gasoline using the US Carb MSK7000 kit. Runs beautifully, and now I no longer have to worry about gasoline storage.
I have owned one for five years now that power's a coffee van five days a week 8 hours a day.
The engine hours have clicked over from 9,999 and is now at 17 hours.
Oil change every 100 hours
decarbon piston once a year all maintenance I do myself.
I know this Genny inside and out Honda generator's are built to last my one is proof of that.
Love it so much I brought a second one as a backup for when OR if this one dies.
Wow! It's become brand new!
still going? I just bought one .. January 3 2023
I have one of these models (not bluetooth), and love it. It's wired into a pony panel and with a simple flick of my transfer lever my house, hot water, well, fridge, two freezers and hot tub are ready to go. Now, the hot tub I will shut off to save surge power, but if we want to use it, we simply turn it back on and snap off a few other items we don't need at the time. These things are so quiet...and like he says..you want quiet running gennies when you're in the middle of an ice storm in Canada, for 5 days in January, and have all your essentials working, when others may not be fortunate. Great video!
That does it: I want to start collecting vintage Honda generators.
The vintage gennys are way cool little units.
i purchased a 1980s Honda ES3500 Generator at a garage sale two weeks ago, they claimed it hadn’t been started or used in 15 years or so, got it for 25 bucks, i replaced the carburetor, spark plug, air filter changed the oil, and gave it a much deserved detail. I then added some ethanol free gas and it started after the 3rd pull... it’s only like 550 watts but it’s enough to run the fridge if i ever lose power.
@@mikeFPS1980 Last year I bought a Honda mower from 1983 or so. Guy said the carb needed cleaned. I think the real problem was it still had the original air filter-or at least looked that way. I cleaned it out with degreaser, changed oil and gas, sprayed some Gumout down the carb. Started on the second pull.
@@BillLaBrie I love Honda! Most of my cars i have owned in the past 20 years have been Honda cars, although i recently purchased a Subaru Outback, but yeah Honda makes things that last you pay a little more for their products but they last three times as long as other brands. I currently have a Honda HRC216HXA commercial lawn mower i got from a lawn care business that went bankrupt, it has to be at about 10 years old it was severely neglected, i change out the fluids, the blades, put in a new Honda Carburetor, and cleaned out the self propelled drive system with WD40 and the thing runs like a champ... My father has a Toro Timemaster mower and it’s only 3 years old and it’s been to the shop like 7 times, earlier this month the drive gave out and they ended up just giving him a brand new one which he promptly sold online and got a brand new Honda Mower!
NOTHING Beats Honda. A brand you can trust blindfolded. It costs but it pays!🤙
We have commercial pressure washers and lawn mowers, and they start every time we pull! Great review mate!👍
Silver cymbal, I've always been aware of how well, and quiet honda equipment run . I live in Florida and after experiencing a hurricane in 2017, I was unprepared when it came to being generator . It was your channel that helped in my research. I just became a subscriber and now, 5 years later, your channel is still assisting me with demonstrations, and helpful information. Keep up the good work!
There is one thing missing from that generator at this super high price... DUAL FUEL mode. Thank you for your very detail review!
Unfortunately, do to its fuel injection system, full on dual fuel operation isn't feasible. This model runs a BPR6ES spark plug as well, which is not-ideal for running in a propane environment. Generally speaking, on most Honda equipment, any small engine running propane will run a BPR2ES plug. That being said, these units do have a decent amount of space due to the lack of a fully fledged carburetor. so perhaps a LP system could be included, but would likely need an entirely accessory injection system or a non-liquid fuel carb (would almost certainly have to run off vapor withdraw from the tank).
@@makerstories4008 bullshit, all it would need is a regulator/evaporator and another set of injectors
I converted mine using the MSK7000 kit from US Carburetion. Works great!
@@browsedeweb8834 how much was it to convert to propane with the kit you referenced?
@@browsedeweb8834 how long to install kit? Did you go to natural gas or?
I purchased one of these recently and I absolutely love it.
Congrads, I am sure that baby will serve you well. Question is where do you get the filters? I'd like to store at least 4 extra ones and extra qts of oil just in case and keep them handy. Thanks in Advance
@@nojabformeeducateyourself3393 unfortunately the only place I have been able to find them is at a Honda generator dealer.
They are available online if you go to the Honda site.
@@phillipbonner5215 Thanks Phillip👍🏻
@@nojabformeeducateyourself3393 you are very welcome.
@@nojabformeeducateyourself3393 Lowe's and Home Depot have them
I would love to see you measure the harmonic distortion on some of these lower priced generators that claim less than 5% even at full load. Particularly the Powerhorse models from Northern Tool. What a great value if they performed as advertised. Thanks for the vids!!
I don't know why I watch these generator videos. Where I'm at, the power never goes out. In the 18 years I've lived here, it's probably only been out a total of five or six hours. I think these things appeal to the prepper in me, and with what happened in Texas recently, who knows what the future holds.
Oh, it’ll go out
I live in Mobile, Al. We have had multiple extensive power outages from hurricanes. Outages from 3-4 days to two weeks. This is my third generator, first Honda. You can not hear it running from the street and can have a conversation next to it.
I looked at home generators but multiple friends had generator failure during storms and could not get emergency support!!!
That’s what took me to Honda.
World-class/no-nonsense review on an exceptional machine. The weakness in this equation is the shelf life of gasoline. Make it run on propane, or better yet, diesel, and it would be a home run.
Definitely true, and planning to keep enough on hand. One of my older videos but this is still what I do every year to keep gas on hand. th-cam.com/video/KwfAEGZiE2I/w-d-xo.html
I run non-Ethanol gasoline in my EU6500i and treat it with Sta-Bil. I try to run the generator every other month for about 15-mins and then top-off with fuel. I keep about 15-20 gallons of fuel on-hand at all times. As long as you are using non-Ethanol fuel and treating it with a preservative you can easily keep it for a year. I agree though on the diesel. I wish there were more diesel powered generators in the 8000W size available from the various vendors. The only ones I ever see are those square Chinese units that seem nice but if you ever need service or parts forget it.
Solar would be better no power no gas no diesel the sun could be there all the time.
That's why Westinghouse igen 4500 is better choice and runs on propane and gas it's also dirt cheap chinese reliable engine with very cheap parts to replace and maintain.
@@eosjoe565 wasting house chinese inverter generator has a lot of parts online on their website for dirt cheap but unfortunately it only runs on gas or propane which is the downside not having diesel generator
I agree, the cost is reasonable for the features you get. Thanks for the update.
OMG Honda is killin it again. when will another company overtake these guys?
and you killed this review in your usual epic fashion
I agree, I am really disappointed it seemed like Yamaha was stepping their game up with their new 2000 watt model but then things seemed to stall after that.
hyundai makes good generators too, they even have a unit pumping out 22kW albeit it weighs a ton, but they have ones in the EU7000 range
I saw that one when I was buying mine but 6000 dollars for a Genny is waaaay to much for my stomach, i endup buying the 3000is inverter which is pretty good, but extremely heavy, very very reliable, I purchased it on 2015, only once I had to disassemble the carburetor because I left stale gas in it, so I cleaned up and now running pretty good, the original battery died last year so it only lasted 5 years, but I still power it on by hand , 0 worries start In the first or second pull, and what's most amazing (besides the noise level) is the fact that at half load, in econo mode, the tank lasts 20 hours!!! Which is insane!, However if I had to purchase a unit now I will probably go for the 2200is because of weight and portability, I rarely require more than 1000W (2000 peak to start the water pump maybe less) so I am willing to sacrifice runtime for weight
I have the 5500i...yeah, it's expensive as heck, but he isnt kidding about the noise. Here in Texas when that polar vortex destroyed our power grid, I could hear all my neighbors generators, not mine right next to my outside wall. And it sipped the gas.
We have the 3000 put it on a garden cart rated for 1,000#. Roll it out to the house with the cable already hooked up to the converter mounted in the basement. 10 hour run time. Very quiet. Runs freezer and furnace in basement and entire first floor which includes refrigerator. Fridge and freezers and furnace all run for brief periods so not a constant drain.
Chose this over a Generac due to its portability. And have used it in different settings. While barely portable at 110# it can be manhandled briefly. Hey! It’s a Honda!
Just hope they came up with a way to keep the mice from building a nest in the starter. Need to put metal mesh in mine to prevent that after a thorough cleaning. Also keep poison cakes on the cart. They work.
Whoa, Sorry but that is much too expensive for me. I guess my family and I will just need to keep taking turns on our human electro wheel (similar to a hamster wheel) if the electricity goes out. Haha
Agree just stick your kid inside the wheel with their iPhone to turn the wheel on and off.
I spent $2500 and I feel rich
You don't need this one. It won't run the AC or electric heat and the eu3000is will run pretty much everything this one will in a power outage especially if you have gas heat. Been using it for home backup for several years.
@@robertd9850 I have had the same thought when I was sizing what size gen to acquire.
It seemed you should scale for light comforts or the other end covering loads that exceed this model - I could not figure the need of this size. Thus I ended up getting a much bigger unit for when we needed AC.
@@robertd9850 "The EU7000is... It won't run the AC or electric heat" ?...
had a guy tell me one time "save up and buy the best and you wont be disappointed" I'm an old fart now and that is a true statement, I bought one 2 years ago
This generator has performed flawlessly for me. Worth every penny.
Any recommendations on what the best replacement battery is?
Amazing machine, I love it. Biggest problem is the 23% drop to 5500w continuous power.. or 22amps. (Never trip the 30amp breaker for the 30amp outlets. But for about $12000 you can hook 2 together, burn twice the fuel and get 11kw.. Or you could sacrifice a bit of power quality and noise and get a 10kw Generator for I see $1000 at Costco. GREAT generator, Terrible value.
is that 10kw genny an inverter type? No. No it's not. Therefore, it's about 15 fucktons more loud than this one, guaranteed. It's not "a bit of noise", it's a fuckton of noise. These also last basically forever. People pay the extra money for these things (like people with food trucks or RVs)
@@Joe_P Can't disagree with anything you said. Hondas and Yamahas are like the exotic cars of the generator world.
If I am going to spend $12,000, I would rather get a standby generator that works on Natural gas to power the entire house and not worry about refueling.
@@davidaccordino4564 Exactly.
@@davidaccordino4564 Four friends of mine here in Florida have the big home Generac generators that failed to work after Hurricane Ian. My Honda portables worked perfectly. Generac is junk
Wow, that generator is a beauty
For $5k Cdn it damn well better be.
For when SHTF I don't really care if it is dirty power.
Yeah, the EU7000is is decent looking too.
You know you’re an adult when you say statements like this lol.
Like i said too Honda Builds a backup into everything. Just like the Honda Accords have sunroof access panels. That includes a wrench just in case the sunroof motor fails. But after 16 years i never had that problem. Still nice to have.
You get what you pay for.
This thing will still be running 30 years from now.
@@rpsmith I'm guessing you never periodically started it
Good review and video as always, but that’s a lot of money for that amount of running watts. Generac XT8500EFI has a lot of those features including the co shutdown but minus the Bluetooth. But for 10k surge and 8500 running watts at just over $1200 that was my choice even though I love Honda engines.
Yes price per watt the Honda will always lose, overall they are phenomenal and I am no generator snob & a well maintained machine of nearly any brand can do very well. People crap on Generac but when I reviewed their 2200 inverter last year it was excellent and a bargain at $485! My very first generator was a Generac 4000XL and saved for years keeping heat and a well pump going. Maintenance and keeping fuel good is key,
@@SilverCymbal absolutely!
That model Generac though is an open frame model so it would be a lot louder. That said, you could just as easily run two of the IQ3500's in parallel, have more power than the Honda, and still save $1500.
I had a generac only lasted one year. I have Honda now that's now over 20 years.
So surprised Honda doesn't make a whole house stand by unit. Imagine that against a generac. Thanks, great video.
I am surprised they have never got into that space too. It seems like as a compay they are very specific with what we get here, there are a lot of products in the UK and Japan that I wish we had here, who knows why they skip us sometimes,
I guess it's a question if you can provide adequate support for such units. Where I live (Germany) we see honda units basically replacing stationary units, but when it comes to larger maintenance tasks they are picked up and brought to the dealership. Offering stationary units would require a whole new support network which can maintain them on site.
I noticed in your video that you have power quality gear. I would very like to see a video on what you are getting coming into your house. This may not be a usual thing, but there are those who think the grid is clean and has no nasties on it. They are very mistaken and this is a great video showing how clean the power is coming out of this generator. Very good video showing what a real generator should deliver to it’s customer!
Even before reading the comments I’m going to wager that some people are comparing it to other generators at a fraction of the price. Let’s be real, no one is buying a Honda generator because they’re a good value. People buy them because they have a proven track record for reliability. I find them to be the most refined as well.
Very true. Also even resale value. I sold my 2014 EU7000is in 30 minutes for $3,000 (paid $4,000 new, no tax) Pretty amazing to only lose 25% for owning it 7 years! Compare that to selling a car.
@@SilverCymbal How many hours did you have on that unit, and why did you get the newer version?
I’ve owned the older unit without the CO detector and have had zero problems after hundreds of hours, it will do most everything needed when the power is out.... be selective on how much you turn on while hooked up to a transfer switch powering the house and you’ll have no issues. Also it rides in the toy hauler on RV trips and runs the everything just fine.
This model can be purchased from honda fir 2500$ in my country. These are produced locally & exported so the 70is model is 2500$ & 30is model is 1100$. There is also eu30i without electric start & that one is 900$ , i got mine used for 300$ eu30is . It had a really really bad gummed up carbuator, the owner left the fuel on for 3yrs and it totally filled the crank case cylinder with petrol and carbuator had tar in it. Everything was so messy and took 3days to clean up , now runs like brand new. It only had 19hrs on it and i have converted it to run on propane, last year it ran non stop for 5 days after a cyclone.
Honda durability.
Just how many test equipments do you have?
A huge difference between this and a standby generator is the power output. This can inky out out 30amps where most homes need 100amp
Lacks a 50 AMP receptacle like the Powerhorse 7500i. Built in the same factory.
Essential IMHO.
Thumbs up great review.
Yep I bought the powerhorse 7500i and love it. Different color and more power with about half the cost
These are nice generators. I've had a EU6500i for about 8 years. I will say they are a bit of a PITA to work on even for routine maintenance. Everything is hard to access due to all the covers. When it comes time for a battery replacement about the only thing that fits is the OEM battery. They already were one of the most expensive generators in their class so I question why Honda felt it necessary to add Bluetooth and add another $500 to the price. As nice as they are I'm not sure I would buy another one as for $5000 I could buy TWO good quality generators of this size.
I'm shocked they increased the price so much. For a long time the EU7k was $3999
@@deltabravo1257 That was my thinking. $500 just for Bluetooth? I was actually surprised at the time that Honda added fuel injection and kept the price the same. I recall only paying $3499 for my EU6500i. I just wish they would have increased the power to 8000W peak and 6500W continuous. 5500W for both the EU6500i and EU7000i is a bit on the low side for whole house usage.
What 2 quality generators were you referring to that you'd prefer? Currently researching options for our home for power outages.
Another awesome video SC. I’m a buyer of this Honda generator as soon as I have the $5k, plus transfer switch, plus the electrician fees ...... but I’m working towards it!
Don't get a transfer switch. Look into getting a generator interlock. Much cheaper and easier to install.
@@CoconutPalmPictures thank you for the tip! Can you recommend a “good” one for me to buy and have professionally installed? I appreciate your comments.
@@1ronhall Ron, there are several manufacturers. None are bad, as the device has to comply with the NEC (National Electrical Code). Since you're hiring an electrician, he will likely find and buy the one that goes with your electrical panel.
For those not familiar with a generator interlock, it's a simple device (a piece of stamped and shaped sheet metal) that requires you to turn off your main circuit breaker before you can turn on the breaker that connects to your generator. That is an important safety, as it protects both your generator and any electrical utility workers out on the grid.
The beauty of the interlock is that you can pick and choose which circuits, of your entire panel, you wish to feed from your generator (keeping within the generator's capacity, of course). It eliminates having to wire in a transfer switch.
You'll also need an inlet port to accept the female end of the extension cord from your portable generator. Again, your electrician will likely find / install that.
Good luck!
Additional features I'd like to see are:
1. Battery quick disconnect
2. Dual or Tri Fuel Capability
My 20 year old EU 2000 has been through five hurricanes and countless power outages without issues.
Can you turn the Bluetooth function off completely? I don't want the generator putting out any kind of signal that someone can possibly use to see that there is a generator in the area
We have the original model. BUT -this is heavy. Honda needs to add front wheels for easier hauling. Any suggestions ? Honda does not have a setup. It has performed flawlessly for many years' outages here in Maine.
Simple maintenance.
Thanks for taking the time and provide us with useful info!
We just bought one, and it's amazing. I love it. Thanks for the great video. We're using ours for video production.
It is a quiet generator but your sound level test at the beginning is a bit flawed. The sound level increases significantly when it has a full load. Don't get me wrong, it's still one of if not THE quietest generator in its class. I run my entire house on a EU6500i which is Honda's previous model.
I really wish they’d come out with a 10k!!
how would you think it will do if in a shed where mice could potential want to get inside ? does this generator need and additional screening or is it pretty well closed up? thanks
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!! Comprehensive yet concise, high informative!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you very much
Agree. Short, concise and informative!
Had Honda's for 30yrs never missed a beat ever.it has worn out 4 rubbish cheaper genys.800Aust
Nice unit. Wish it would have dual fuel option.
It is strange because in Japan they sell tiny generators that run on some butane tanks they have and they are pretty popular but the only thing I am aware of that they made was a Diesel Honda ages ago that was actually made by Subaru for them and it was sold for a few years then discontinued.
What is the efficiency loss of charging the battery power generators with this gas generator? Thank you.
I’m have problems with the battery after 3 yrs, won’t start in cold weather. I replaced it with a CCA 310 battery and it works fine. Is there a better solution?
Thanks for the gr8 report!
Say, do they make this in a Propane version?
Honda doesn't but I am sure other companies will come out with a kit if they don't have it yet
@@SilverCymbal Thanks!
Saw someone mention MSK7000 kit by USCarburetion while reading comments
Hi. Where did you order it ??? Nothing in stock here in NY..Thank you
A few places had them in stock online & I tried 3 local Mass dealers and Stewarts Power equipment in Holbrook had 10, 8 were pre-sold and I bought one of the remaining 2.
@@SilverCymbal Yeah... it's a bad time to be shopping for generators right now.
Do you think one could gain any decibel decrease by adding sound mat to the inside door panels?
I have the older model. After seeing your review, I will consider upgrading to blue tooth.
Finally got that brand new bluetooth electricity
I want to buy this- i cant afford it, i have no use for it, and i have no where to put it. Still perfect and buying
I really ejoyed seeing the E300. It looks in great condition. Probably more expensive than an eu7000 only for being a vintage item. 😎👍🏽
Bluetooth is nice and all but I think most people would be more interested in some sort of GPS or even some form of a Bluetooth locator. Even if you have to be fairly close(say, 50 yards) some form of theft prevention/retrieval system would really help Honda maintain its seat on the thrown and would sell a lot of people who are still on the fence.
If you pull 500-1000 watt, is it still fuel economic? Lot of the time, I will be doing that, then a few times reach higher consumption.
Does the battery charge when the generator is running?
Love mine. Use it this winter. Ran the whole house and my hot tube no problem.
Small house?
@@danlux4954 no 5 beds 3 bath house. With shed that had power. Ran like a champ. But in the summer time we would turn off the hot tub so we could run the AC.
@@josemuniz2878 I have 6 apts with full appliances, two sets of washers and dryers and 2 central units. I’ll need a big generator to power all that. Using my small Yamaha generator to power my boiler and pump.
@@danlux4954 yes you will need something bigger for sure.
Great videos. Really enjoy your channel. I have a question. Has anyone had any issues with Cree LED bulbs flickering while on generator power. I have a EU2000 and an EU3000IS and if I’m running my house off of either gen set the damn LED bulbs will flicker.
@SilverCymbal I've seen other generators say "Do not allow the Generator to completely run out of fuel with devices attached. A Generator’s output may sharply spike as it runs out of fuel, causing damage to attached devices." If you turn off the generator remotely from the app, is this still a concern? Or does the load disconnect before the generator winds down?
When it's shut down completely, there's next to no surging.. as opposed to when it's starving for fuel..
What can you run at the same time on this generator? Where I live in Florida, I occasionally see a hurricane come through; power outages are a reality when this happens. I wonder if it could run my HVAC system and refrigerator at the same time.
@@sinister184 It depends how big the HVAC unit is. Some compressors with lower running amps can be started using a soft start like the MIicroAir 368 to reduce the high inrush. I can run 4 refrigerators, a mini-split AC, and the rest of my house on the Honda with no issues. Highest I saw the power draw was 3500 watts, and the generator was running in ECO mode at lower RPM. My 4-ton HVAC has too high a current draw to run with everything else, even with a soft starter. I wouldn't want to be running the Honda so hard anyway.
I live in Florida and use my HONDA eu7000i to run my 4 ton a/c unit. You need a soft start on your a/c unit which allows it to start with less power. HONDA is the best unit available.
I wish car manufacturers made maintenance simple just like this generator
More on the vintage Honda please
Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know.
It will be nice if the i monitor and all the input control intefaces will have a parallel connection mode. Parallel lcd out put panel and parallel input controllers can be fited in an enclosure remotely for remote diagnostics and remote control. Evey Generator manufactures should think about this. Newer models are coming with bluetooth, but it will be nice to have a parallel input interface and parallel LCD out put for older models as well. This can be do if people like you can publish the internal wiring diagrams . So that any body can buid it. review was super helpful.
great video, what do you think about the duromax 13,000 dual fuel generator? its going for $1,400 in home depot. i love honda but they are pricy.
I haven't worked with that one before but I have a friend who has one of their models and likes it a lot.
I have one and have it dedicated to propane the only draw back is noise level, but.soon I will be looking at better muffler options Ive had the unit for 5 years now.
@@SilverCymbal would like to see the THD on that duromax.
Is this petrol or diesel? And is it pure sinewave?
I want to buy Honda Fe Eu7000model generator with canopy self start pl advise the price and availability
Does the key need to be in the on position for the app to work and use remote start? If so will it drain the battery fast if left in that position?
If the key is left on for over30 seconds, it switches to off
I have never been interested in generators, and have no idea how I got here, but damn am I glad I did, haha
Great vid!
Love your reviews! thank you the wonderful knowledge.
Very nice of you thank you
@@SilverCymbal I have regular eu7000is, are new version with co-minder reliable ?
@@3095Alex I also had the original version as well, bought it in 2014 and sold it to help pay for this one. We really don't know the long term of this one yet but I think it should be good or better than the original, which was already amazing since it's clearty the same design but with many improvements.
Question on the remote start before you start the generator do you need to turn a switch or etc on before you start. Or can you start it without going near the generator. Great review thank you
Show us more of that antique!

I am totaly not interested in generators but you video is great :D Nice work :D
Thanks for the great video. I have the eu3000is and am thinking of upgrading.
5:30 This is the most important feature for a new generator!! An Inverter!
Because music systems and all the modern electronic need a clean power source!
With an old generator you can destroy modern equipment! If you draw more power than given, the frequency shifts brutally and breaks the devices.
However, hammer hammers or construction site equipment sometimes get along better with the old generators, as the current surges for the inverter generator are not so good.
Awesome one question can you run a Standard Electric clothes dryer with this unit?
i literally have no use for this generator but now i want to buy one for some reason
I've been looking at that model and the Honda EB10000. I intend to convert the generator to natural gas which would lower the power output by about 20% I believe. For that reason, I'm thinking the Honda EB10000 might be the better choice. I want to make sure I can run my 3.5 ton AC unit and the electric hot water heater if we have an electrical outage. What do you think of the EB10000?
Better to have more than not enough, especially when it comes to your home. Imo..
put on a microaire soft Start box. our 3 ton has a lra rating of 81amps (starting requirement), and with the micro air the starting current is reduced to 20 amps. my 7000 watt generator runs the a/c no problem. it is a 3 ton unit.
can i use this for desktop computer (500W, 240V, 4A, or above) with no problem? if there's problem, what solution/s? using a AVR or something?
that CO alarm seems cool and doesn't look like it will interfere with normal non-stupid people use. Due to their power regulation and sound level they are at the lowest cost and only generator really considered for film set used in the portable category.
What are those for?
This thing is amazing 👏
I remember back when my moms uncle died. When us, all my Aunts uncles and cousins were all cleaning out his house we found that very 1965 model all rusted up in his garage. I wanted to save it and restore it but I don't know how but everyone else just threw it in the dumpster.
I have a Powerhouse 3100 (clone of the EU3000i) and also an EU2000i. Both with very low hours. Moved into a condo in 2014 so I don't need them. Can't use them even if I did need them.
i will probably never need a generator within the next few months, but after watching this, i want one for some reason. thx youtube
This Honda 7000is generator is the best generator you can buy.
Honda should have included remote control of the outlets for some home automation!!
I would really like one of these, but these are just too expensive for me to justify. I wish that it was at least 6500 running watts and less money.
Does it have a dry contact ?
Can you do a video on how to direct it’s power back through your home panel?
I believe you need a separate panel to do it properly
Excelente video. Can you explain why or in which situation I should care about this exceptional clean sine wave or electrical output? If you have a video link I’ll check it out. Again thank you for a well done video
Thank you, I started writing the answer and its really too long to write an answer that explains it well. Let me see if I can make a short video on this I think I will do a better job explaining it.
