EU7000iS 7000 Watt Inverter Generator, Super Quiet 120/240V Gas Powered Portable Generator for Camping, RV, Tailgating, or Home Backup Power Supply, Up to 16 Hour Run Time (EU7000ISNAND)

Honda 7000iS inverter generator runs quite and has plenty of power. I use it to power my home after hurricanes and connect via Generlink right to the electrical meter. This generator will run my entire house with proper breaker management, my 3 ton Trane A/C system runs off of it. I can even run the hot water heater to heat water, that is were the breaker management comes in. It is a small price to pay for hot water and having A/C when the power is going to be out for several days. I have not had to use it to power my home after a storm yet, but I am ready so I will be just as happy to not have to use it for this but I am ready either way. I did install an aux tank doubling the fuel load.

The generator arrived relatively quickly and in excellent condition (no signs of rough handling by the freight company). The generator itself was easy to set up - the wheels needed to be installed and oil added to the crankcase. The setup instructions said to charge the starter battery, but my voltmeter measured it at 12.7 VDC out of the box, so no charging was needed. The engine started immediately, and runs MUCH quieter than the old Generac it is replacing (which had a nasty habit of failing when it was most needed). Outputs measured 122VAC/244VAC and was very steady. I have not had a power outage since the purchase, but I am optimistic this generator will make it much easier to deal with whenever the next one occurs.

This generator is expensive but it worth the price. I am using with a transfer switch in my single store home as an insurance policy since the Hurricane Helena.

STOP! This may be a great generator!! BUT don’t buy it here. Buy it from your local dealer. Mine showed up damaged. And now I have to file a claim with the freight company, it’s not major but it’s definitely scratched and it’s a brand new $4500 unit!. It started…but stalled because of the O2 sensor… then wouldn’t start again. Which made me panic because I needed it to work for an event… the battery had enough power for one start but that was it! After buying a charger and hooking it up I was able to get it it to start… BUT This company John’s whatever.. they are NOT going to help you… they have a special customer service line for these online orders… but had I bought it from my local dealer.. they would have installed it or cared that it was not working or tested it or charged the battery. I’m hopefully this is an amazing generator that gives me years of easy use with good maintenance….. BUT find your local dealer and use them…. Save yourself the headache….make the relationship with a big purchase… and you’ll have that going forward. Signing off… still haven’t heard back from the seller.. it’s been only 6 hours… but I’ve talked with every local distributor…. Had it been a bigger issue, it would be an absolute nightmare to deal with….

Satisfied with my new generator but disappointed with the discharged battery it was delivered with. Got it started with the pull cord but my shoulder can't sustain that. I understand that it would be nearly impossible to ensure that every unit went out with a charged battery but now I'm worried it will let me down later this winter when I really need it. Charged battery at 1.0 A for 12 hours and used a conductance tester: 165/230 CCA. Might be better to ship this generator without a battery so the owner could start off fresh.

After years of using a loud, pull-start generator this Honda push-button start is a dream. Most times when a generator is required the weather conditions aren't great and it was so nice to be up and running in a couple of minutes and then enjoy a full night of quite power.

Very quiet compared to my neighbor's generax...have had no emergency yet but with the transfer switch we had installed, it's going to be a 5 minute procedure to get 90% power after outage.

Great Generator, quite, won't keep you or your neighbors up, 58-62 DB. Great quality and you do get what you pay for. if you are looking for a good generator buy a HONDA.
