Our friendly neighborhood portable silent generator manufacturer Honda came out with a really quiet one last summer. Touted to be the brand’s lightest 3000 watt generator, it really does not disappoint in the heft department. It is a mere 78 lbs. with a really compact design. Its longest side is just 24.5 inches which makes it just as big as a small to mid-sized travel bag. Well, 78 lbs. is not that light for a lone person to carry but it is equipped with recessed wheels and a folding handle which improves its portability quite tremendously. It can easily be lifted using its rear offset handle.
It is rated at 3000 watts of Honda inverter 120 volts AC power so it packs a bagful of juice but is stable and gentle enough to be used with delicate electronics like those handy laptop computers and smart handheld computing devices. And since it is part of Honda’s renowned quiet generator series, it is also super silent with just 57 to 65 decibels. No need to worry about the neighbors banging on your doors to complain of any noise while running this nice piece of power equipment.
The beauty of this machine is that with its high power / wattage rating, it can interchangeably serve as a quite backup power supply for your home and as recreational electrical generator that you can bring with you anywhere you go. Another neat feature is that you can also use it parallel with another EU3000i for additional juice. It is great for picnics, camping, tailgating and for basic residential silent power generator backup needs.
Other features include Honda’s nifty safety feature called Oil Alert which is basically a low oil warning system that shuts down the generator’s engine if its oil content reaches an unsafe level. This prevents engine wear and tear and a potential overheating and fire hazard.
It also features convenience illumination for the controls so you can continue to operate it in the dark.
It is also pretty fuel efficient. With its Eco-Throttle capability it can run around 7.7 hours on a full tank of 1.56 gallons.
One more neat thing: It comes with a 3-year limited warranty for hassle and worry-free usage within the first 3 years. This kind of product confidence tells a lot about its quality so you should get many years of reliable power service from your super silent generator.
