Description
Honda EU3000iS Overview
This scratch-and-dent Honda EU3000iS is a 3,000-watt portable inverter generator with CO-Minder, rated at 2,800 watts running on 120 V. The CO-Minder system monitors carbon monoxide near the unit and shuts the generator off automatically before levels become dangerously high.
The inverter design keeps output steady for computers and other sensitive equipment, while Eco Throttle changes engine speed with the load to save fuel. It runs from 6.9 to 19.6 hours per tank depending on load, with 50 to 57 dB(A) of noise, less than normal conversation. A 196cc GX200 engine offers electric start, and the generator can handle a furnace, refrigerator, microwave and most 13,500 BTU RV air conditioners. A 3-year limited factory warranty is listed for the model. The specifications list a 3.4-gallon fuel tank and 130.7 lb weight. Honda describes the EU Series as ultra portable, with lightweight frames and built-in handles, and calls its four-stroke engines inherently quiet. Noise is listed at 57 dB(A) at rated load and 50 dB(A) at 1/4 load, and the unit weighs 130.7 lb with dimensions of 25.9 x 17.6 x 22 in. Honda’s inverter technology is described as producing power as reliable as a home outlet.
