Bought this generator 20 years ago for common power outages during tropical storms to hurricanes. It's quiet and runs for 5 minutes each month. Never has a problem starting up the 1st try. Purchasing this generator was expensive for me, but can say it was well worth buying 20 years later. The generator's not shinny as new but still runs like it. I generally don't write reviews because it helps the price to go up, but won't need getting another so this is my experience. .

Dc-Ac inverter generator / clean power for backup
Would RecommendBest deal around considering its QUIET, energy efficient and easy to use..

Best generator I’ve ever owned!
Would RecommendEasily the best generator I've ever owned! My power can be out for three to five days at a time, and it goes out at least once a month in the winter because of wind and snow. This generator starts with the first push of the start button every single time, and you can barely hear the thing running when inside the house! Runs the house for about 8 to 9 hours per tank, 10-12 without heaters intermittently turned on. It's very maneuverable with wheels/handles that are included. Don't be cheap; spend...

this unit is really bad for back-up or solar
Would Not Recommendso the 3000 quiet series is great, but a just not quite enough for solar back-up. the 7000 series will not even connect to most solar inverters!!!!

Home Back Up Generator
Would RecommendThis generator is as quiet as advertised. For home use that is extremely important as it is easy on the neighbors and is.

Wish I didn’t buy.
Would Not RecommendBought this unit to use with my mobile grooming business. I worked 240 hours then failed, shuts off randomly and says it’s low on fuel on the app after it’s already shut off. Took it to the dealer, after 4 months they thought they fixed it. They told me it had a bad inverter. After an hour long drive home I tried it out, seemed to start and run ok. It failed again with the same app message on my first day at work. Honda has yet to resolve this issue. I will update my review once Honda gets me a ...

2021 EU7000is Great but, high maintenance
Would RecommendUse for camper with 2 A/C units. Love everything about it... except: Co minder: had to add 3' exhaust to keep from shutting off. Honda Manual even says, unit must be pointed correctly for Wind! Oil Change intervals: Only 1 quart capacity... maintenance monitor says change @ 100 hours of operation = chg every 4 days! Really!

Food trucking
Would RecommendWe purchased this generator 7 years ago when we 1st began our food truck.... That was single handedly the best investment we ever did that generator has lasted us since day since day one we have never had any problems with it until the day that someone stole it from our property... For some reason my wife did not purchase theft under our homeowners insurance so it was not covered now I have to come up with the money to purchase a new one for our business but I will gladly do so because this thin...

So Far so Good
We bought this generator because it is consistently the best rated one out there. About a week after receiving it, we lost power for 12 hours. I get home from work and all that is plugged in is the fridge. I told my wife we can do better than that and soon we had several cords running through the house powering everything to make dinner, watch a movie and multiple lights. I look forward to getting everything hard wired to the house for the next outage. Ran it in the eco mode for the few hou...

Home backup generator and RV generator
Would RecommendBeing I live in south Louisiana, we have hurricane chances 7 months out of the year. This year we’ve had 3 , last year we had 2. Power outages are expected . We bought two 2200 watt Honda earlier for our RV. We needed a larger one for our house so the EU7000IAN was perfect.

I don't know if I can trust it to work when I need
Would RecommendI bought this new 7000is generator instead of the EM6500s that I went in for. My 24 year old EB6500s was suddenly having an issue delivering the usual 120v that it had been delivering when I needed it to. Due to the age of my older unit, I decided to buy a new one and repair the old one for spare. I looked at the 7000is when I went in and studied the features vs. the older, more seasoned 6500s. So, I bought it. The reputable dealer said that it was set-up and load tested and ready to go. When I...

Almost Perfect
Would RecommendThe features are top notch. The packaging is tremendous. Reliability and noise level appear to be best in class. The inverter function for clean power is a MUST HAVE with modern electronics. Being able to control the generator with an app is truly 21st century. To make it perfect I would: 1) Make it 7000 watts nominal and 10000 watts peaking for the price point 2) Include a supply of oil drain plug crush gaskets with the original purchase 3) Include a magnetic oil drain plug 4) Hav...

Quiet and Stable Operation
Would RecommendThis generator is extremely quiet compared the 5500watt gen it replaced. Being an inverter, output voltage and frequency are very stable under varying loads. Perhaps the feature I like best is the ability to switch between 120 and 240V operation. Using the 120V mode, all output power of this unit can be distributed across multiple outputs without having to load balance the 240V output. This is great when back feeding our house since we only run 120V lights and appliances, and 40+ amps of 120...
Verified Purchaser
Great for camping or home use.
Would RecommendWe purchased this Honda EU7000IS generator for our home and 5th wheel. I must say this is the best generator that we have ever owned!! Super quiet and easy to operate, and it has an eco throttle that will make it even more quiet.. This is the type of generator you need if you go camping or just want reliable power. I also like the fuel gauge and control panel that displays the hours used and lets me know that everything is running smooth with the generator. Great job on design and engineering Ho...
Great backup home generator
Would RecommendUsed generator for the first time for 8 hours. Everything worked great.

Great generator for mobile LED sign

Hi Sheila, the EU7000 is used frequently for charging solar back up. It sounds like you might need a little electrical assistance with setting this up...
