Description

Zoom on the Honda EU2200i

In a nutshell, the Honda EU2200i is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:

• Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
• DIYers who wish to improve their efficiency with tools

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, the extra features it benefits from and any relevant emission compliance details.

Power & Run Time

The Honda EU2200i

The Honda EU2200i's core is the 121 cc Honda GXR120 OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120V, it provides a running wattage of 1800W and a peak wattage of 2200W. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (Honda parallel cables not included), its power may be doubled if linked to a second compatible unit.

At a noise rating of 48 dBA (less noisy than a library), the inverter generator offers the possibility to start the device via a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.

The fuel capacity of 0.95 gallon allows the EU2200i to operate for up to 8.1 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.12 GPH).

Sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets, as the EU2200i produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Disruption (THD).

Here are a few examples of what this generator could allow you to simultaneously power:

• For camping/tailgating: 1 DVD player, 1 slow cooker, 1 satelite receiver, 1 mixer, 1 LED TV, 1 radio and 1 cell phone charger
• At home: 1 DVD player, 1 slow cooker, 1 satelite receiver, 1 mixer, 1 security system, 1 set of 5 LED light bulbs and 1 fan
• For work: 1 drain cleaner, 1 electric fence (25 miles) and 1 bug zapper

Note: The examples above are based on a maximum load of 75% and estimated wattages. The devices also may not be able to start at the same time. For a more accurate estimation, use our wattage calculator.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 2 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output with which charging your batteries is made easy.

Portability

Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L20 x W11.4 x H16.7 in), the Honda EU2200i, is more esthetical than a typical, open frame generator. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

The EU2200i is a lightweight, portable generator, as it only weighs 46.5 lbs. The generator can be moved with ease by only one person and so it can be enjoyed on-the-go. This convenience is further enhanced thanks to a handle (molded in the case) that allows you to carry it with ease.

Features

The EU2200i's control panel

Several light indicators serve to show you when the generator is overloaded, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is ready.

As for its security measures, the device features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off (Oil Alert®), letting you use it with a peace of mind.

Besides the features previously mentioned, accessory-wise, the Honda EU2200i comes with the usual documentation and user manual needed to get you promptly started.

Emissions

The Honda EU2200i is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.

Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and therefore, can be used in forested areas.

The Honda EU2200i versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Honda EU2200i compare to generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).

• Weight-wise, the Honda EU2200i has only 46.5 lbs, which renders it one of the lighter generators which produce 1500 to 2500 rated watts. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the WEN 56202i, weighing just 38.6 pounds.
• As its lowest possible noise is rated at 48 dBA, this inverter generator qualifies as one of the more quiet of the products of similar power.
• Autonomy-wise, with 8.1 hours on a full tank at a 25% load, the EU2200i is on the low end when compared to other generators of a similar power output. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Westinghouse WGen2000, with 26 hours .
• The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. Standing at an estimated 0.12 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load, this inverter generator is somewhat average in this area compared to other devices, within the aforementioned wattage range. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the Energizer eZV2000P. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.08 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.
