As the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower and the Honda EU7000iS do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Honda EU7000iS compare to the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower.
- Engine: The 389cc engine of the Honda EU7000iS is significantly bigger than the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower's engine, which has a displacement of 306cc.
- Power: With a running wattage of 5,500 W, the Honda EU7000iS will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 5,000 running watts of the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower. Moreover, compared to the 6,500 starting watts of the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower, the Honda EU7000iS and its starting wattage of 7,000 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running. Out of these two models, only the Honda EU7000iS is parallel capable, allowing for increased power when paired to another compatible unit.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the Honda EU7000iS offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower: it can operate for up to 16 hours, whereas the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower offers a maximum runtime of 14 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.32 GPH (gallon per hour), the Honda EU7000iS is more fuel efficient than the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower and its 0.36 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline. 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 EU7000iS and <3% for the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: There's an important difference in the emitted noise between these 2 generators. In fact, the Honda EU7000iS produces as low as 52 dBA, but the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower is rated for a minimum dBA of 66.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: With dimensions of L24.8" x W21.2" x H21.5", the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower offers a much more compact experience of power generation than the Honda EU7000iS and its L33.4" x W27.6" x H28.4".
- Weight: Weighing 139 lbs, the Q6500 QuietPower is much lighter than the 263.2 lbs of the EU7000iS.
- Portability: Both products benefit from a wheel kit, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. The Honda EU7000iS has a folding handle and the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower a telecospic handle, to help you better manipulate them.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: These two devices can both be reliably started thanks to a conventional pull-start mechanism. However, the Honda EU7000iS also benefits from a convenient electric starter. The Honda EU7000iS offers another layer of convenience, as it can be remotely started.
- EFI: The Honda EU7000iS benefits from an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, which enhances its engine's reliability, lowers its fuel consumption, improves its startup, reduces its servicing, boosts its stale fuel resistance, and offers better altitude adaptability.
- Outlets: The Honda EU7000iS offers a higher amount of AC receptacles than the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower: the former benefits from 6 AC outlets, whereas the latter has 5 AC outlets. Yet, they both feature GFCI outlets. The latter also offers a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the Honda EU7000iS's and the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
- Technology: They both benefit from a technology that monitors the ambient CO level. For the Honda EU7000iS, it's the CO Minder technology, whereas it's the CO Guard™ for the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower. Besides that, the Honda EU7000iS offers you greater convenience by allowing you to monitor its vital stats via the My Generator mobile app.
