Description

The gasoline-powered Honda GXR120 OHV 4-stroke engine is at the heart of the Honda EU2200i Companion. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,800W and a peak power of 2,200W. Also, since it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with parallel cables from Honda), this power can be doubled by connecting it to another unit that works with it. The pull-start mechanism on the inverter generator is standard. It can make up to 48 dBA of noise (less noisy than a library). With a full tank, the EU2200i Companion can run for up to 8.1 hours, thanks to its 0.95-gallon fuel tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.12 GPH). The EU2200i Companion makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 3%, so you can safely plug sensitive electronics into the AC outlets (THD).

Outlets

The control panel has two AC outlets: one for 120V 20A (5-20R) and another for 120V 30A (L5-30R). Even though this Honda generator isn’t quite RV Ready, its L5-30R receptacle makes it easy to connect to an RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor.

Features

The lights will let you know when the oil level is too low, when the generator is ready, and when the generator is overloaded. As for safety features, the device has an automatic shut-off for low oil (Oil Alert®) and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worrying. In addition to the features we’ve already talked about, the Honda EU2200i Companion comes with the usual paperwork and owner’s manual to help you get started right away.

Mobility

Since the Honda EU2200i Companion is an inverter generator, its enclosed design (L20 x W11.4 x H16.7 in) looks better than a traditional open frame product. The generator has a modern look and is easy to use when generating power for fun. The EU2200i Companion is a portable lightweight generator because it only weighs 47.4 lbs. The generator is easy for one person to move, so it can be used anywhere. It can also be carried easily thanks to a handle that is built into the case. This makes it even more convenient.

We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.

Description

The Honda EB2200i is made with a 121 cc Honda GXR120 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,800W and a peak power of 2,200W. The inverter generator is on our list of the 10 quietest portable generators because it only makes 48 dBA, which is less noise than a library. It also has a traditional pull-start mechanism. Due to its 0.95-gallon fuel tank, the EB2200i can run for up to 8.1 hours on a full tank (using about 0.12 GPH of fuel). The EB2200i makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 3%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).

Outlets

The full GFCI control panel has the following two AC outlets: duplex 120V 20A (5-20R).

Features

The lights will let you know when the generator is ready, when the oil level is too low, and when the generator is too busy. As for safety features, the device has an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off (Oil Alert®), so you can use it without worrying. Aside from the features we’ve already talked about, the Honda EB2200i also comes with the basic paperwork and an owner’s manual, so you can start using it right away.

Mobility

Since the Honda EB2200i is an inverter generator, its closed frame (L20 x W11.4 x H16.7 in) makes it look better than traditional devices with open frames. The design fits with what’s popular now and is perfect for generating power for fun. The EB2200i is a lightweight portable generator because it only weighs 47.4 pounds. A single person should be able to move it around easily and get power wherever they go. The handle built into the case makes it even easier to carry.

Description

The Honda EU1000i is made with a 49.4 cc Honda GXH50 OHV 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline. It has a 120V output and a 900W running wattage and a 1,000W peak wattage. Also, the device can work in parallel (but does not come with parallel cables from Honda). This means that it can be connected to a similar or compatible device for more power. The pull-start mechanism on the inverter generator is simple and old-fashioned. It has a low noise rating of 42 dBA, which is just a little louder than bird calls. This puts it on our list of the ten quietest portable generators. With a full tank, the EU1000i can run for up to 6.8 hours on its 0.55-gallon fuel tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.08 GPH). The EU1000i makes a clean sine wave. Its Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less than 3%, so you can safely plug sensitive electronics into its AC outlets.

Outlets

On the control panel, there are two 120V 15A duplex outlets (5-15R).

Features

The lights will let you know when the generator is overloaded, when the oil level is too low, and when the generator is ready. For safety, the generator has an automatic low oil shut-off (Oil Alert®) and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worrying. In addition to the features we’ve already talked about, the Honda EU1000i comes with the standard paperwork and an owner’s manual to help you get started right away. You can buy a storage cover from the company separately.

Mobility

The Honda EU1000i is an inverter generator. It has a case that is L17.8 in, x W9.5 in, x H14.9 in, So, it looks better than most other products with open frames. The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. The EU1000i is a portable generator that weighs only 28.7 lbs. Since one person can move it without much trouble, the generator and its power can be used anywhere. It can also be carried easily thanks to a handle that is built into the case. This makes it even more convenient. On our list of the 10 smallest portable generators, this one comes in at number 5.
