HondaEU2200IC 2200-Watt Companion Super Quiet Portable Inverter Generator

Starts every time on the first pull, runs very well, there is simply nothing compares to a Honda generator. We RV 45 weeks a year and often boondock. This is well worth the investment premium you pay for a Honda.

This is definitively the gold standard among so called suitcase inverter generators.These things are as quiet in person as the specs indicate, especially at partial loads (even 1,200 watt+) using Eco throttle. Beautifully clean and consistent power. Fuel efficient. To hell and back reliability, durability, and longevity. Small, lightweight, highly portable...probably any able bodied adult can put one wherever they want. If you are considering buying this model of generator you probably already know all of the awesome positives.It's still not completely perfect. There is no fuel gauge and it does not come with a precise hour meter (it does have a function, upon startup, where the green indicator light blinks 0-5 times indicating 0-100, over 100, over 200, over 300, over 400, or over 500 hours).Mine of course runs great and handled everything (within rating) I threw at it beautifully, including running my (natural gas) furnace and lighting and fridge circuits through my transfer switch (get an L5-30 to L14-30 or 5-15 to L14-30, hots bridged, adapter for your 2200i or 2200i companion and you can power 120v circuits on a transfer switch made for larger gens, just don't try to run too much at once of course)Recommended other items:-A screw in oil change tube. Yes the EU2200i has a larger oil fill and drain than the EU2000i, but it's still far from ideal. Easy fix.

This generator is quiet. I wish I got the push button one have a little problem starting it, but once started runs great

I bought 2 of these to use together. They're quiet as a mouse, frugal with gas consumption, easy to maintain, etc. I have no complaints.....they are pricey, however....

Works great with the cable, really burns through gas unlike the regular ones which is odd but once it ran out it still used the 30amp but you could hear when it ramped up and the other ran out of fuel

Everyone already knows the Honda inverter generators are superior quality but this redesign impresses. Only two fairly insignificant issues that would not keep me from buying it again. First, the "companion" plug for 30Amp service requires an adapter to use it with the standard RV shore line cable. Not a big deal. Just something I didn't know or read about and had to order when I first tried to fire up the rig. (note, I also have the EU2200i and I daisy chain these.) Second, it's kind of a pain to fill these even though they only hold a gallon. You have to pour very slowly or you get a lot of spillage. I bought an extender tank system and fill that instead. So far, I've run my 23' RV on these with the 15,000 btu a/c on constant run (100+ degrees outside), all lights on, the fridge running, and I tested the single-serve coffee pot, too. Didn't overload. I've run them for 4 1/2 hours so far and they're still more than half full. If anything comes up, I'll update, but I expect these to power my RV for many years. Oh, and I would love a remote start for these but they're so easy to pull start that it's really just laziness -- so I don't have to get out of bed in the morning to power them up.

If you have been doing any research on portable generators then you already know the reputation that these units have. They are certainly not cheap, but they can prove to be literal lifesavers in an emergency. This is my second Honda generator and the only brand I recommend. My first one (a larger unit unit with wheels) survived extended used during a hurricane recovery. This unit has been used for camping and lighter use but is still powerful enough to run a portable window AC and a small refrigerator if needed. Highly recommended.
