I liked that you kept it together during your presentation with Phillip bouncing around in your video. I have the Honda EU7000is. Mine is like yours except mine is fuel injected. I’ve had mine for 5 years & use my for back up power to my home. Great content especially with Philip.
@ You'll fall over. I bought it with zero hours & after 5 years I have 78 hours. It is a very nice genny. We used it twice for two separate interruption's. The largest was for storm Isias. We lost power for 52 hours. It keep our house cool & comfortable. For what I spent on my set up it was well worth it. You may not know this but a huge part of power back up is the location of one's home. I'm a power lineman for a living at the local power company where we live. Every house or apartment we have lived in has been on a "back bone". Or 3 phase line from the substation. When we lose power it's not for very long. Usually a large swath of area is out when we are out. Hence why after Isais we were back on pretty quickly. I was working 3 weeks straight of suicide shifts getting the rest of the state back on. I get it. I was no different than Philip when I was his age. I was always checking out what my old man was doing? Even if it was boring stuff. I was just very curious.
@@johnclyne6350 Thanks for the insight on utility power! I just ran out and checked our hour meter, and we are only at 83 hours on the Honda. The longest use in memory was about 6 hours in a planned outage, most of our unplanned outages are addressed within a few hours no matter how foul the weather is. Thanks to our hard working lineman like yourself. Our utility SDG&E has been replacing wood poles for metal for years. We are on aerial wires and they are only split phase on our leg, we are a little out of town with only residential service. All of our poles are still wood.
@ The only steel poles here are in rights of ways or transmission poles. 83 on your 6500 is very low. That's older than mine? Did you buy it new? A colleague has the same unit he bought second hand with 2200 hours on it. If those are well maintained? They can go 5000 hours or more. You're very lucky you haven't been out days like we see in the northeast. We get some vicious ice/snow storms & tropical depressions. Most everyone has overhead distribution. Only the big cities are fed off of networks.
Both in the video were purchased new, although I was lucky to inherit the Honda with 39 hours. These Honda units can go thousands of hours if the oil is changed and cared for, you are absolutely correct! We count our blessings on outages, that is a fact.
The irony- during the upload of this video, we get a call and text from our utility that we are to expect a fire safety shutoff in the next 24 hours. Luckily we are ready!

Hello and merry Christmas to all. Great video. I can't believe the sizes of these marketed today and coming out.
It doesn't hurt to run a higher octane occasionally

That is a nice generator! How many hours do you have on it? Keeping the kiddos engaged is always a challenge!
