Just about anyone who's been around generators will tell you that Honda is the only way to go. Their reliability, ease of starting, efficiency, noise level, and power to weight ratio is unmatched. Their time tested rugged reliable service provides power when you need it and where you need it. No matter what your application is, Honda builds the portable generator just right for you.

Watch out for "Honda Powered" generators. Many manufacturer's and resellers are buying Honda General Purpose engines and connecting them to their own brand of generator. While they will have a top quality engine, the generator, frame, circuitry, etc. doesn't compare to the genuine Honda Generator. They are often represented as "Honda generators" but the are not true Honda's by any means. The Honda quality is not just in the engine, it's in the circuitry of the generator itself as well as all of the related components. Don't be fooled by imitations, it's only a Honda generator if it's Honda throughout.

I can tell you from personal experience the benefit of these little wonders. I used my trusty EU1000i to power my furnace fan, big screen, satellite system, computer, and light during an ice storm from January 29th to February 4th, 2002. Even under this load, it would run over 8 hours on the 0.6 gallon gas tank.
