I got two eu2000i and still running like a champ
Basically it’s a video of hypothetical problems that may occur. There is no better generators then Honda , period. If you want the least amount of problems from your generator and a solid 10 years of trouble free performance, buy Honda.
Yes it costs more , but so does everything that’s worth it, that lasts. Otherwise buy HF crap or some other brand for less and don’t complain about reliability and longevity.
Again ask enough Honda owners and they are not exactly pleased with the newest models as they are not as problem free as they used to be. If you use items hard and all day everyday then a gas Honda will probably be the best bet, but if its a once in a while buy a dual fuel unit from wen or champion or similar and it will do what most people need.
Read comments in my channel or other channels. Now sure there are plenty of good units out there but is Honda still the best…or does Yamaha actually out last. I have friends with those and read on others and those seem to just run for ever. Super heavy though.
If you have such good service from Honda generators, that's fine and your business, I have 6 non-honda generators with one being over 25 years old, it will crank on the first pull and runs great. They get regular service and run time weekly, but no splash lubricated generator will last like a pressure lubricated system with an oil filter. Twenty thousand hours is not uncommon on some portable diesel generators before they need an overhaul. Johnny is a good guy just putting this information out, it's up to the viewer to make their own decisions, and spend their money the way they want. Make some videos on your Honda's we would love to see them, best regards!
I had two Eu2200i. Sold both of them when we purchased a whole house natural gas genny. I did buy a EU2200i for the cabin and it will do more than I need. The bluetooth is quirky so I don't use it. I added an hour meter to keep up with run time. Oil changes every 50 hours, non ethanol premium fuel and monthly exercise with varying loads. Great assessment Johnny. Thanks!
Our 3200 I has been performing perfectly. One pull starts, and we’ve been using it while Boondocking in below freezing temperatures. Fortunately, the price of it was not a big concern for us. Thanks for your honest honest👍
Thanks for the feed back
I'm not mechanically inclined but found out through need to work on the Honda I own and it really was not that difficult . I own the 2200i and the companion. One of them worked great and than during one of my maintenance cycles I do every 2 or 3 months I could not get one of them to start, even though I used non-ethanol fuel and ran the carb dry like all Honda do. The carb is easy to access and to clean. I then decided to convert both of them to propane. The kits were expensive but well worth it and also for a person not mechanical like me were easy to install. I've had them both for a few years and would never consider buying a larger heavier one. As an older man the time will come that portability is key and heaving two portable generators that I can carry is key, even though I have to make two trips if I am going to parallel connect them. Good information given for the consumer that is not aware or researching.
I think I will also stick with the 2200 watt models. Wish they were a little more on running watts and factory dual fuel but they do good for what they are.
Bought our Ai Power 2300 (Yamaha engine) from Costco on sale $400 and another $70 to ship to us in Hawaii. Runs our whole home 120/125v power just fine. Run only ethanol free fuel, change the oil every 100 hours and run it one a month for 2-3 minutes. Runs like a champ. We went with the lower power because it runs all the critical stuff and running it at the back of the house means you don’t hear it when you drive or walk by. When everyone else is without power, no point in advertising that you still do. Aloha!
Totally agree, be stealth about what ya have or people may come and be like we need your stuff 😂
@@johnnysweekends This... is actually my concern with Solar Panels. The roof I'm babysitting is in no condition to have them mounted.
Bought my Honda EU 3000, must have been 15 years ago. When they first came out. Added remote start to use when camping. No idea how many hours, but use it for 2 weeks to run the AC every year. It is so old, Asked Honda for the gasoline gage. They had no idea when it was produced by the serial number. Still runs like a champ. Only thing I did was change the spark plug. Change synthectic oil after every use.
Back when they made them good still
Eu3000is since 2009, change oil, filters etc, clean exhaust screen, ethanol free gas only….never one issue…installed tri-fuel kit also, no issues
750 hrs now on the eu3200i. 10hrs per day now, 90 daytime temp. in the keys, running 1500 to 2000 watts, two 5k btu windows, and 70amp lifepo4 12v charger
Nice,keep me updated! Hope they do better than a lot for the eu6500/ eu7000 units 👍🏼
Bought my 3200 for the RV a/c, 15k unit with soft start. 2200 would have run near max and 3000 was heavy to be portable.
Two 2200’s was also more size than I wanted to haul so bit the bullet and sprung for the 3200.
Love the size vs 3000 or 2-2200’s. Bought the extended run cap for auxiliary tank. Fits my situation well but only because of the size factor.
Almost went with the 3000 but wanted something the wife could move if she had to pack camp so the 3000 was a no go.
Great info Johnny... I'm sticking with my old Honda EU2000i

Sounds like the good ole fashioned 2200 Honda would be the way to go if you want to pay for the Honda branding. I purchased a WEN 2000 generator a couple years ago and then I found out how amazing a dual fuel is.... LOL I will try to stick to propane as much as possible moving forward.
I hardly use the Hondas as much especially with the DF SG or other fuel fuel models I have. I just don’t want to deal with … did I add conditioner and drain carb 🤔
In my situation, 2 smalls are better than 1 and then add a bit of solar to the mix. Thanks for the info Johnny 😉
👍🏼😁👊🏼
Great video, appreciate your time invested in this video and knowledge. Made my decision making simple.
It really is a nice generator for sure, the price verses power output is just insane…
Thanks for the video!
Love my Honda EU3000i perfect for stationary/off grid use. Too heavy to move around a lot but great on fuel and extremely quiet at anything under 3/4 load!
You’re welcome! And the eu3000is is great for stationary. I did not like moving it lol but with wheel kit and the tri fuel setup if was ready for anything
@@johnnysweekends have you ever reviewed your own eu3000is like you did to others before?
@jason620362 I have used the eu3000is in several other older videos to compare yes
I agree with you it’s a high priced toy. I will keep my 2000. EFI is great but if you not mechanic like us they can’t afford to fix them. Awesome video 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
Just bought a brand new, sealed in box EU2200i for $899 from an authorized retailer, using a $100 coupon code offered by them. I’m happy with that.
Dude awesome deal on a new unit. Normally they are $800 lightly used but I have been seeing them drop a little like $600-800 range
where did you buy from?
Great video, valuable knowledge and insights. Respect that you're not a guy who's afraid to look at things objectively.
Thank you 👍🏼😀
Makes sense. Thanks
Time will tell...i just purchased the 3200 because i needed more than the 2200 could consistently produce, didnt want to run more than 80% of the run load capacity for many hours at a time in the Florida heat, and im on a 30' sailboat that wont fit 2 of the 2200 Hondas. It will be charging my lithium bank during the day while also running my 10k ac that runs off the lifep04 at night while sleeping.
Excellent points good video I’ll stick with my Westinghouse dual fuel 4500
I have an EU2200i that has the Bluetooth function. I bought it right after they came out. It’s just over 2 years old now. I barely use when camping, so I may sell it. I actually like my new onboard Onan inverter generator I got free. It’s quieter than my EU2200.
I also have a barely used EU6500, which I can use for backup power at home.
I ditched my on board for solar and batteries. After selling my rv gen it helped pay for a lot of the other items and now I rarely use a gen.
I run a 2200. Have done for many years without problems. Key thing is frequent oil changes
I have over 950 hours on my EU32I. It's been awesome! I change the oil and spark plug every 100 hours. Only thing I wish it had, was a bigger gas tank. But I can get over 10 hours on it, on eco mode, running my 9500 btu ac unit. @ 78°. All in all, I love it!
Yea fuel cell is way small especially at 2000 watt load its about 4 hours roughly but it at 1700 watts it will hit roughly 6 hrs. I do fins it funny they rate this as a unit for a 13.5k ac unit. But when at that rpm it seems to be very efficient and quiet there.
Interesting overview. Still have my Honda EU2200i with dual fuel conversion I bought the tail end of lockdown that I only use about 300 hours per winter. I just use petrol with it now for convenience, but interesting that propane bypasses the carb so that might be an option if it ever fails. There are just so many medium sized generators available now at reasonable prices that anything approaching an expensive repair would not be worth it.
Exactly even some construction guys are like … why have my guys destroy my Honda and then if it’s down go get or buy parts or wait for service when I can buy a new one at half the price today and go… no waiting.
Most use a open frame unit anyway as they are cheaper and lighter
It's all just application dependent. I don't camp with a generator and I'm a mechanic by trade. The carb generators are by far my preference. Serviceability is paramount. I can easily make gaskets and clean a carb in my own shop. The complication of the fuel injection system doesn't make sense for my application. Now, if you're running your generator all the time and traveling with it the 3200 may make a whole bunch of sense. I would personally go with 2xeu3000is before I went with one eu7000 just because I don't want the fuel injection mess. I would at minimum have one extra injector and fuel pump for each generator if I did have an FI system. It's all to taste.
Agree, a carb you can at least get to work if you know what your are doing. Gasket making, easy! And yea the eu7000 FI model is problematic and I would avoid. Im with you. The fuel injection is cool and serves a purpose for those that want a more efficient gen, but simplicity and serviceability is key.
Yes! I buy all kinds of things from weed eaters to dirt bikes or atvs that “don’t run” 9 times out of ten it just needs the carb cleaned. Most are too timid to take a look at
I prefer to have two eu2200i generators.
Was considering the 3200I but like you say with the fuel injection part of this unit, I'm gonna pass. Great Video. Thank you.
It's one of those situations where when you add more tech, there are just more things to go wrong. On a fundamental level it is unavoidable. However I do agree that Honda isn't what it used to be in some situations... I picked up a EU2200I yesterday. And it ran like crap right out of the box. Disappointing when the predator 2000 we've had for 3 years runs like a top... But I do still trust it to be better in the long run once this is resolved.
For the dual fuel, I get it. I also don't. Propane isn't as easy to source around me outside of exchanges. So the 15lbs for 23$ is convenient in a pinch for sure but most all my appliances (other than the trailer) are natural gas now... So for me I'd want a tri-fuel like my 7000 generac I converted and had for over 20 years now. And it is one of the few situations where it is another part but isn't adding a real failure point but rather redundancy which is nice.
And just messing around with the few I've played with in the 2000 watt range, the Honda does seem to have the best operation by far as far as voltage stability under load and maintaining load. The predator really struggled with window A/C units on startup where the the honda (others of the same model, not this one... yet) just purr along... So I am pretty sold on it being "better" but it is a situation where if it can happen to me, it does. Thanks for the video!
Dual Fuel is the only way to go. Whether it's daily use or every other year in a storm, Propane will almost always work, it does not spoil in the can like Gas does. It also does not foul the plugs or engine oil like gasoline (Petrol) does.
The only reason I would I would ever use gasoline is simply because of availability of the fuel.
And Propane has the instant advantage of me not having to try to claim a refund on the Road Taxes from Gasoline.
I have two Honda 2000's. Maple Hunters sells propane kits for almost all generators. I have been looking for a tri-fuel inverter generator of around 8000 watts or less, In the past I have gotten by hooking them in parallel, but I wanted to run more circuits so my Reliance transfer switch can run up to 8000 watts. Nowadays I take only one Honda 2000 to charge up the power station or the two Battle Born batteries on my camper.
I mainly stay with smaller units now that can do propane and one big one for home if needed
The Generac line offers a good balance of value and dependability, in my opinion. Personally, I would lean towards those models.
You can finance it, built a good credit with it and you will have the best machine in the market
I bought and still have the following a Firmann 9400 watt open frame from Costco for $600 a Ryobi 2200 for $500 A Genmax 9000 iedc for $2600 A Honda EU7000i and so far only Genmax have issues and horrible after service. For life critical equipment such as Generator I learned reliability and ease of use is the most important criteria to meet.
What’s up with the Genmax ?
@johnnysweekends The Genmax 9000 IEDC wont crank start. I called and emailed Genmax but only China replied and forwarded me to their US service adviser who made a self determination it was a carburator issue and told me to have the carb replaced at my cost. After 45 days the replacement carb arrived. All my generators are serviced by professionals per schedule including driving fuel and etc. I initially liked Genmax for the perceived value for the features. But now all these features are just gimmicks to me as if they can't have a reliable generator then at least Honda have better after sales service and parts availability. I do know Honda quality took a dive since some of their genetic are no longer made in Japan but perhaps China as well. Don't get me wrong the Firman and Ryobi including my Allpowers R4000 solar generator are made in China but they have great after sales response and part availability. I was also looking to buy the 10500 genmax but after this experience no more genmax for me.
@mariojalata5259 thanks for the feed back and sorry that happened. I try to explain to these companies how important customer service is. If they continue to neglect and fail they will suffer the fate bluetti is at the moment,
If you stay with Honda, you are on the right track. Period.
lol you should read all the people pissed on the forums. Pumps going out early. Honda not approving warranty and more. Not like the old days. Still good units but not bulletproof proof anymore
Ya I’m good with me predator 3500 that has been flawless….. and got it on sale for 721.00
I love my eu2200i , being using it lately since we lost power here in Texas ,, I know they are a little more expensive than other brands , bt trust me you don’t want to have a broken generator during power outage and a temperature of 100 Fahrenheit outside
You got a good price on the 3200i, but the guys that got a whole bunch of them off the LA freight trains got a way better deal!
Thank You
😀👊🏼
Really hard to make an argument for Honda when they are 3x the cost of most generators. Also, the flexibility of propane, and now 240v series operation with Gemmax, there are just better options out there for the vast majority of people.
I know ! I think maybe they just don’t care much and stick with basics, but they could have so many more options.
Thanks for the info. Again! My next generator will be a dual fuel. I still have not taken my Harbor Freight 2000 outta the box after buying it 2 or 3 years ago. 😂. I’ll test it soon. My son bought a Champion to power his business in case of grid problems. 🤠👍🇺🇸
lol Jeff you need to test it and see if it even works. Better yet see if you can return it or sell it and grab a dual fuel. Ditch the gas so you don’t have to worry about it going bad and additives. But I have seen new units DOA…..so either ditch it or open it 😂👍🏼👊🏼
@@johnnysweekends 🤷♂️😬😂
@SaabAholic 😂👊🏼
A common mistake is leaving the unit in the box. When the storm hits, oil it up, fuel and away we go......only to blow up a few days later....well out of warranty. My suggestion, oil & gas it up, connect a space heater , run 2 tanks of fuel and 2 oil changes. NOW, YOU'RE READY. If you do not change the engine oil at least once during the first 5 hours, you just cut your engine life in half.
@@user-qs3vz7rc6i Yes, you’re right. Johnny has been riding me about this for awhile now, LOL!
🤠🇺🇸
Would and when I can will purchase Japanese over Chinese everytime, just better made products. Yet sometimes price does factor into it, if the Chinese works it is hard to argue against it. Would still take the Honda.
I have one. Best generator I've ever owned (next to the eu7000is) and worth every penny. Its the most fuel-efficient generator on the market.
Most fuel efficient on the market ?
Where did you get this data? It is factual ? Did you test against other competing units with approximately the same size engines or any other units at all under controlled loads measuring the same amount of fuel and calculating the amount of energy produced from that fuel?
Or you just going off of marketing and your experience of using one unit and not comparing anything else.
I’m not bashing or discrediting you, I’m asking the same questions people will expect of me if I made that exact statement.
Marketing and saying most fuel efficient is easy when it’s the only unit in that class. With nothing else to compare you are going off what “marketing tells you” and that’s a horrible way to buy stuff.
Honda is still a great product, but this unit is a fail for the price. $1999 max. That’s all this unit should ever be priced at. Not $2799 or more.
No dual fuel, no remote start, small tank, low power output for the size and price.
Now I dont need remote start or even electric, but for that price….it should have electric at least.
But again most fuel efficient, I think I would be chewed up if I didn’t have any data to back that.
Hope ya understand
@@johnnysweekends I measured it.
Thanka for sharing. So what generator would you recommend instead of this?
Generators are specific to an owner and the needs. My needs may not be the same as others
It's about storing them and maintaining them properly. Most people just put them away with gas in the float bowls and no stabilizers. Of course they will plug up.
Honda is pricing themselves out of the market considering all the new reliable generators that have hit the market in the last few years. I have had a Champion 3300 for the last 15 years and it still runs like a champ and never had an issue with it and paid half of what a Honda was costing at the time.
I bought a Honda, and, compared to other options that my friends own and run, I think the extra cost gave me a better, quieter unit.
@peterpulpitpounder which unit did you buy ?
Hello there. I bought the EU220i. Yes, it cost a bit more than some of the other options available, but it "seems" to trump the others in terms of quality, noise, etc. I just wanted to buy something "once" and be done with it, something that would last a good many years. But, as it has been mentioned, perhaps other brands have caught up with Honda in the quality department. I don't know. I do like the Bluetooth feature, and I especially like the switch option that allows the unit to drain/burn the gas in the carburetor for the sake of long-term storage, etc. It seems easy to work on, etc. She's a done deal now, and I hope the unit lasts for many years, at least for my purposes. :)
@peterpulpitpounder I love the 2200i I think it’s a great unit. But could have been so much more especially if it was a dual fuel
So glad to hear this. I think it's a great unit too, and I'm thankful to have had the money to buy it. Count your blessings, right? :)@@johnnysweekends
Honda EU2200I's are $999 until March 31st; $899 with the military discount at Home Depot. You don't see Honda offering them on sale very often.
Never on sale!! Wow they must be taking a hint. Now it’s back to being a little more worth it. Wish it put out more power and was dual fuel. It would be killer!
The bad thing I hate about my honda Eu3000is is the weight with fuel. It weighs in about 145 pounds. I bought for my rv air-conditioner works great for it but again very heavy. The honda eu2200i weighs in at 65 pounds and can run a rv 1500 BTU ac with a soft start
installed on the rv
Yea the eu3000is is a beast and i sold mine. Just to big…sure did purr though
One thing I have learned is to wait 2 years after a new design is introduced. Honda included. Manufacturers need to work out the bugs. I do agree that overall quality with ALL products has fallen. Inflationary forces mean we all get less for more.
I think Honda realized like other companies that you dont make as much money if the items last forever. Cant have things last 20 years, so chop it in half to 10 years lol
Thanks I have the same thoughts I really like to 2200 generators It’s so handy
Really good insights on Honda's products. I didn't know about all this history.
Thanks Todd. 😀👍🏼
Great video and insightful 👏
Thanks Shane 👍🏼😀
Hondas make good generators but not worth the stupidly high price compared to other generators. I own a Westinghouse iGen 4500 DF generator. Puts out way more wattage, has electric start, and is dual fuel ready. Most importantly I only paid $790 for it on sale. While it doesn’t have Honda reputation, it’s still a good proven generator. No way no how that Honda is worth 3.5 x the price.
I still don’t get why they don’t make dual fuel models
I think eu2200 is the best in class though, even better than eu3200 all around
I prefer the eu2200 as with solar and batteries I don’t use them much now for what I do. But please, why no propane models. I don’t even use my Hondas as I’ve been mainly just using propane more and more
On a dollar per watt basis the 3200 can’t hold a candle to the 2200. With the 3200, Honda completely misread the market both in the power provided and the price.
@doncooper2298 totally agree!!
The only reason I'm considering this unit is I need it to work at sea level as well at 8000 feet elevation. Is fuel injection the answer??
I need it portable and don't want it bigger than this unit. Any thoughts?
I just checked and the local Honda Power Equipment dealer in Norcal is selling them for $2499.00
Wow nice finally price is dropping. What NorCal dealer?
And see if this answers your question 😀👊🏼Honda Eu3200i Does Fuel Injection work at High Altitude?
th-cam.com/video/tyxvoqu8YGw/w-d-xo.html
The 3200 is nice but when you can buy 2 eu2200 Hondas and have more power, kinda doesn't make sense to buy it. Even more so with the China dual fuel suitcase generators. Get 2 of those for a grand use them, wear them out, and buy 2 more and still be cheaper than the eu3200. And I own a eu2200.
Exactly my point….and if they run 3500 hours or so each you’ll get more total hours. And if it’s propane you hardly ever have fuel issues to deal with. Maybe a regulator here or there
@johnnysweekends with the prices of the dual fuel champion, AiPower, Westinghouse, etc on Amazon, cabelas, etc. Makes it really hard to buy a honda eu2200 for that matter.
@accordj32 I agree I hardly use my Honda because i use propane more and more. I will be converting one so i have the option on it.
Hey Johnny, what forums can I visit to read up on the Honda generators. Ty....
Face book groups there are a few and also general google search for some. Some you can read and dont have to join.
Hi you reference information that you read on forums, I'm new to this topic, could you share a few links to these forums? Thanks
Facebook forums. Honda eu2200/eu3200i Also google Honda forums there are a couple to join. Can also read Reddit but some of that is trash
Will the natural gas kit work on the Fuel injection ?
No. Unfortunately not
it's not always about money.
I am selling my 2x2200 and go for 3200. Maintaining 1 is much easier than 2. It’s my opinion. Honda is best for everything.
I agree I would rather maintain one item.
I have been telling people the same thing for the past 5 years Honda still makes a great product but there way behind on advancements and the quality is no where near wat it use to be across there whole line of products and there prices are completely insane
Does that make me a smuggler?😂
🤫 sources cant be revealed 😂
What about the EM5000S iAVR? You can get one for $2599. I don’t really care about the size/weight. That’s the one that I’ve been eyeing for awhile, but I do wish I could afford a bigger unit that is dual fuel.
Nothing wrong with that unit just yea i wish they just made dual from factory. 🤷🏼♂️
@@johnnysweekends oh definitely. I’ve seen people install ports for dual fuel?
@Dugie555 Many dual fuel kits out there I did a video on it all well..👍🏼
I went with a champion dual fuel because I could literally buy 2 champions for the price of one Honda in the 2000w range. That difference is a bit much. It wasn't a can I afford it thing its just common sense. A fool and his money are soon departed! Honda is gouging people at their price points.
Can only ride the name so long
Anyone have experience with the Champion 4650 watt gen?
Yessss great unit!!
The 4500 is virtually the same as well as the dual fuel…
But here’s a secrete you can get the dual fuel 4500 with remote start from Wen.. it’s the same unit 🤫😁👍🏼 see it here amzn.to/3UedhI8
Harbor 3500 predator is just as quiet and sells for $800
Nothing is like 15-20 years ago 😢
But EcoFlow is the way to go with a back up generator
Yes!
If ur not mechanically inclined you buy one and if it breaks down and too expensive to fix you buy a new one. If you are mechanically inclined you will buy the generator used/broken from the other guy and fix it. Just because Honda doesn’t make a part that doesn’t mean you can’t fix it specially electronic parts like on a circuit board most parts are VERY universal. 9 times out of 10 a problem on a circuit board is a cracked solder joint.
I do think it’s overpriced! Depends on or usage.
⏳️
its only just $1000 the other $1500+ is the name
Yuppp!
Chsmpion 3000w dual fuel way to go.
Much lighter as well 👍
People sell their Honda generators because they run it on gasoline and gasoline clogs it up. Always get a conversion kit before using it and run it on propane only.
No propane kit for this unit yet. Not sure if there will be one
Too overpriced!
I got one word for you. Harbor Frieght. :)
I already have those…but think i would rather go champion wine or powerhorse for more options and power and same size
Pure crap
I hear ya. Dual/tri fuel options are good.
@mikecon7634 I rarely use my Hondas now as im normally using propane. Safer,cleaner, costs the same or less depending on where i get it and just burns cleaner. To many units to keep up on so most are going into storage faze. I would almost -prefer a designated small 3500 watt propane unit as if if just built for propane its longevity will be better and power output. Not many of those around,.
Wayyyyyy too many commercials.... Can't stay.
Wow interesting thanks for letting me know 👍🏼
Way way too long and yappy Johnny! Lost interest 3 o4 times. I'm a Honda guy. I was waiting to hear the verdict and gave up.
Giving up is never a option 😂
Dude , who you working for Yamaha , champion, harbor freight? Every one knows HONDA PRODUCTS ARE bullet proof! You gotta do a lotta talking to convince people not to buy Honda products!
Of If I was would I be buying all of these products myself..???
Sounds like you need to do more research.
Eu7000is EFI unit has tons of problems. Sure there are some good ones but several bad ones. Nothing like a $5500 paper weight
Warranty .. what warranty. They are becoming every other company and dying when they can. They realize generators that last 20 years doesn’t make money.
I like Honda as much as the next. But so many options now where you can buy 2 or 3 units for the same price and get more hours out of them combined and less down time. Well… seems like maybe better money spent.
Honda is still good but not what it used to be.
Plus are you going to do the 250hr timing belt inspection? Every 250 hrs roughly?
If not a shop will charge $300 for the 2 hrs to inspect it.
That gets even more expensive if you wanna keep that warranty.
I have owned several Hondas …. All paid for by me…
The eu3200 is a great unit. But definitely not for $2799…. That’s crazy $1800 maybe for a 2600 watt unit
Your video is nothing more than an excuse to trash Honda. Carburetor that gets plugged? The eu3200is has fuel-injection and thus no carb. Why then are you discussing carburetor issues with this generator? Nonsensical. I did some fuel consumption calcs and I think it's the most fuel-efficient gasoline generator made. Fuel -injection makes it special and FWIW, internet discussions are probably the farthest thing from empirical evidence on longevity or a decline in longevity.
Yea that’s what I do bash Hondas, after owning 6 or so and still own 3 that’s my life now to bash them. And the story or the carburetor if you actually listened which I assume you just skipped around, you would know or maybe you dont that fuel injectors plug up easy as well. Especially the way people leave power equipment unattended and let sit for months. Fi likes to be used. And I’ll tell you this right now, if you had the eu3200 with a plugged injector and I had my eu2200….guess who would have which unit fixed in about 10 mins and up and running? Oh and for free….
But yea im dumb because I voiced my opinion on a crazy priced unit that actually only gets good run time at 50% and less. After that it’s really no better and with its small tank is a joke and has to be refilled every 3 hours. And with no extended run fuel tanks at this time, well I think one just became available it’s still not nearly as good an option as two Honda eu2200 units. Especially since they are all over face book for $600 with minimal hours.
And that’s probably because people realize it’s under powered for what they want. So they buy something with a little more power. Being quiet is great, having enough power is better.
That’s where they came up short on the 2200….almost perfect but missed by a little.
So question in your calculations , what loads did you run with your 3200 at what temps and altitude, and what did you compare it to that has an equal 131cc engine?
Would you recommend the 3000is over this 3200?
Thanks
It depends what ya need. The 3000is is big and heavy but its a tank and most run forever. At least the older ones from what I see. I sold mine as I couldn’t buy an inverter board for it anymore if it went out according to parts finder. My year was DC for some reason. And i dont now if others would work with out modifications. The 3200i is nice. $2799 nice…? Defiantly not. But if you could grab it for $2000 in the box or a little less open box then it starts to be something to consider. It’s not as quiet as the 2200i but still Honda quiet. Plus i have been more into just using propane now. And cant figure out why Honda doesn’t do a dual from the factory.
