As the EU2200i and the EU2200i Companion are both Honda generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail. They are both part of Honda's Super Quiet series (EU), which is ideal for recreational and home backup applications.

Power Comparison

The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Honda EU2200i compare to the Honda EU2200i Companion.

  • Power: As both the Honda EU2200i and the Honda EU2200i Companion share the same running wattage of 1,800W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (2,200 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
  • Runtime: At a 25% load, these 2 portable generators offer the same runtime on a full tank. Each of them will be able to deliver power for up to 8.1 hours.
  • Fuel Efficiency: At the same load as mentioned above (i.e. 25%), both generators will approximately burn 0.12 gallon of gasoline per hour. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
  • THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<3% for the Honda EU2200i and <3% for the Honda EU2200i Companion) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
  • Noise: Both devices have a noise rating (lower limit) of 48 dBA. If noise is important to you, neither of them will be easier on your ears.

Portability Comparison

  • Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
  • Weight: Considering that both devices weigh 47.4 lbs, neither of them will require more effort to be manually lifted and transported.
  • Portability: Both offer a handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.

Feature Comparison

  • Starting System: Both devices can get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
  • Outlets: The EU2200i and the EU2200i Companion both offer 2 AC outlets. None of them feature GFCI outlets. In addition, it is worth noting that they both only produce 120V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the EU2200i's and the EU2200i Companion's product pages.
  • Data Center: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output.
  • Technology: Both units benefit from Honda's CO Minder carbon monoxide monitoring technology. Besides that, both devices offer you the convenience of Honda's My Generator mobile app, which allows you to easily keep an eye on your generator's stats.

  1. The Companion has one 20 amp output and one 30 amp output versus the non-Companion which has two 20 amp outputs. The Companion by itself produces 20 amp power. The Companion exists to be connected to the non-Companion to produce 30 amp power.

  2. If there is no notable differences between the two models ( EU2200i, & the EU2200i Companion), why are there (2) two models

  3. Nice job! Very helpful information.
