Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Yes, it’s a good home back up generator!
Would Not RecommendHaving said it’s a good Generstor, I have some positive and negative feed back. Positive: it’s compact, it’s more quiet than most other generators I have had of this size, I really like the digital read out and info it provides, it’s easy to move around. Negative: it’s very hard to read the digital read out without getting on your hands and knees. I am eighty yrs. old with one bad knee and find the digital info very hard to see, the battery compartment is very hard to access, it’s too low and...

Don’t buy one
Would Not RecommendWe operate our business in remote locations and depend on generators for our livelihood. After one year had to replace the fuel pump, very disruptive. Currently looking for a new generator, lots of good options over Honda, just trying to make a decision.

Very nice home backup Generator
Would RecommendWe had the prior model 6500 water cooled twin cylinder which was a very good unit. Finally gave out after 15 years. It was an easy decision to get this new improved unit. Quieter, Lighter and slightly more power without dealing with water cooling changes.

Super quite
Would RecommendPurchased this for the house 3 weeks ago. have not had a power outage yet but have statrted it up numerous times and it is very quite, Can't give it a 5 star yet. we'll see how it works when I have an outage . As far as the warranty it should be based on hours not the 3 years.

Great quality product - highly recommend it
I use this as backup power for my house. Had to install a soft-start on my 3 ton central AC unit for this generator to power everything, but now it does. Extremely reliable. Starts every time, and I think that's its best feature. It's expensive, but I can see why, and I think it's worth it.

Can't Beat a Honda
Would RecommendI bought this last April and completed the break-in process. When Hurricane Helene hit in Sept. 2024, I used this for 3 days straight. It can power 2 full-sized fridges, a window AC unit, and a multitude of lights, fans, and electronics. With eco mode off, it powers our well pump nicely. It will typically run 10+ hours on a full tank of gas, so no midnight refueling. The bluetooth feature allows you to monitor power consumption and gives you helpful service reminders. The only con is the c...

Backup generator for my house
Would RecommendI bought this generator strictly as a backup generator for my home. I've owned it for about a year. Had occasion to use it twice due to power outages. First time was just an hour. Second time was for near 8 hours. In both instances I plug it in to the house transfer switch, hit the start button and it runs immediately. Power to power is just fine. Doesn't seem to you as much fuel. I'm very happy with it. I leave it on a smart charger most of the time and it's there when I've needed it.

Best generator made
Would RecommendI love the quality and quiet operation of the Honda. You can get parts and service on these generators as well. The quality is pricey but when you need piece of mind in backup power you get it with the Honda.

Powerful and quiet generator
Would RecommendI use this for power outages at my home. It runs my well pump, oil boiler, septic pump, lights, and TV. I just can’t use my electric oven or dryer.

Not a great experience
Would Not RecommendBought the 7000. I have 2 hours on it and the battery was bad out of the box. Now the output indicator light is on and it won’t put out power. Been back to dealer twice. Use it for home back up.
