An amazing piece of engineering

Would Recommend

I always read the 1-star reviews first and after twenty years of running a couple large Honda snowblowers in Vermont, the snow capital of the USA I was surprised to see any one-star reviews. But for those who gave it 1 star because it did not include oil there is a very good reason that Honda does not including oil. Up north most of our power outages are in the winter when we need 5-30 oil which is even within the range of our summer temps. Down south it needs 10-40 oil because of the higher t...

13 Year Hard Life Still Going

Would Recommend

I have had this gen for 13 years. It spent the first 8 years of it's life as an auxiliary power unit on my semi-truck running a roof top AC (13,000 BTU) as well as tools. It's lived it's entire life outdoors and I have not been kind to it one bit. Next we used it to run our RV as we built our house out in the desert until we got power. It sat out in the desert for a whole year and was full of water, I cleaned it out, put a new carb on it and it still runs great. It was then used for 2 more years...

Use as a home back-up generator

Would Recommend

As the title states, I had to use it twice when power was lost during storms to power the house. It's incredibly quiet and fuel efficient. 1st time I had to use it it ran for about 5 hours and the 2nd was about 28 hours continuous. I do maintain my unit well and start it every quarter for a few hours. Trickle charger is connected to the battery and store covered in the garage. I did get the wheel kit so I can move it with ease. It's powerful enough to run the refrigerator, gas burner and an abun...

Great backup generator

I had the older model eu3000is for 8-years it started every-time except once I had to change the spark plug. I was only on the second battery. It was very quiet but we just didn,t use enough to justify keeping it. So I sold it for a nice price and bought a brand new invertor 3800 watts 3400 running watts and technoligy has realy advanced smaller 30% lighter,built in wheel kit and also very quiet. Wen

Great for our 5th Wheel RV!

Would Recommend

Just the right size for our 39 foot 5th wheel RV. I like everything about my EU3000 Generator . . ... except that I have to get up in the morning, get dressed, go outside to start the generator so I can make a cup of coffee for my wife ( a 30 year habit ) Please consider making this unit with the remote bluetooth start/stop!! I would upgrade immediately!

GREAT little QUIET Gen set

Would Recommend

This is a replacement for a 2008 Model EU3000 is which is STILL functioning properly with over 32,000 hours on it. The existing will become additional parallel cable aux power when seldom needed. These units are used at our cottage which has no commercial power. Power from a 3000 is enough 98% of the time. Once in a blue moon we need just a few more amps. The UE3000 produces CLEAN power for electronics and enough power for everything else. What prompted me to buy another was the longevity ...

Ultra Quiet / Efficient Power Source

Would Recommend

After using my EU2000 and then a EU2200 for the past 10 years, I upgraded to a EU3000iS to be prepared for power outages as our Govt. closes our pipelines, power plants, coal plants. With 3 efficient Honda generators, my needs are more than covered. All my Honda's start with one pull but my wife LOVES the Electric Start on the EU3000iS.

Great generator for detailing business

Would Recommend

We run a detailing business and use this generator sometime 5-7 days a week. We like to have an early start in the day and sometimes service customers in very compact neighborhoods. This machine is very quiet and provides enough power for a two man crew detailing cars, boats, and airplanes
