What Customers Are Saying
The generator is praised for its exceptional quietness, fuel efficiency, and ability to power a wide range of household appliances and electronics without issue. It is described as durable, reliable, and able to run for long periods without problems. While it is more expensive than some other models, reviewers feel the quality and performance justify the higher price. The only common complaints are that it is quite heavy and could benefit from including a wheel kit as standard.

Would RecommendThe Quality of your purchase will be remembered long after the price is forgotten. Honda is synonymous with Quality. Manufactured in Japan with high standards and integrity. I am sick of purchasing Chinese goods and willing to spend my money on quality goods produced by a friend rather than my enemy.

Very quiet
Would RecommendWe use the generator to aid us in living off grid. we have it set 3 - 4 feet from our travel trailer. it is very quiet. It has shut off a couple of times and according to the book it is shutting down due to too much CO. It is outside so not sure?

Home Generator
Would RecommendI have used it lightly to power refrigerator, lights and heater during utility outage. So quiet I can talk and be heard when standing next to it. Throttles up and down based on load, and noise level increases only slightly. If you appreciate high quality engineering you will not find a better engineered product. Love this machine, well done Honda engineering.

Broken out of the box
Packaging looked ok. No dents or scratches on the generator. Went to attach the battery terminals and none could be found. They were not "taped to the top of the battery" like they were supposed to be. Had to manufacture my own. Added all fluids. Cranked it over ... nothing. Waited the suggested 10 seconds, cranked it over ... nothing. Opened up the engine access panel to check the spark plug and noticed the spark plug cap just dangling there. The insulator was busted in half! one half...

EU3000is
Would Not RecommendI bought this generator because of the quality of the product even thought it was a lot more expensive. When I received it I prepped it per the manual & tried to start it. It wouldn't start. I thought it smelled flooded so I went to dry the spark plug. When I opened the spark plug cover I found the spark plug wire cap broken. Needless to say I'm not very happy. I didn't mind paying extra for it because I will take quality over cost every time. Now I have to repair it right out of the box.

Very quiet, and low THD
Would RecommendThis generator is far more expensive than some other more powerful generators. What's the catch? Well, it is *very* quiet when running: you can carry on a normal conversation standing right next to it -- if you choose to do so, that is, since it still has exhaust fumes. Compare to e.g. a DeWalt generator, where you won't be able to hear your own thoughts standing next to it. Second benefit, it produces low harmonic distortion power, allowing your electronic devices (TV, computers etc) to run....
Back-up generator for home
Would RecommendJust got it and was hoping for at least a wheel kit ,Part Number 06425-ZS9-020AH; before using it but guess no support in my area. My power company sdg&e, said they are turning off power in 3 days so was also thinking to have the wheels on to make it easier before adding gas and oil.

Works great, easy to use
Would RecommendI bought the Honda EU3000iS during a power outage in my area.This is the first generator I bought Honda because of it's reputation for reliability and quality.I used the generator to power my refrigerator,wi-fi,computer,tv and lights for 12 hours during a power outage it ran flawlessly.Two features I would like to see is away to attach a trickle charger without removing the end panel cover and a natural gas or propane powered generator.
From Honda Power Equipment
Love it!
Would RecommendWe purchased our Honda generator so we can hook it directly into our house. We are in the process of making that a reality this week. To have dependable power during power outages and storms will be a great relief.

Perfect for the Historical Texas Winter Storm
Would RecommendI bought this generator in early 2020 to prepare for Hurricane season. We didn't need to use in until the 2021 Texas Winter Storm when we were out of power for 5 days.This thing is so quiet and fuel efficient! It ran perfectly 24x7 for 5 days. Powered 2 space heaters, 2 TV's, Internet router, son's gaming PC, 2 fridges, several lamps, electric cooking plate, coffee maker, several phone/tablet chargers, etc. I had to adjust things across 3 power strips as they keep tripping diue to the high-curre...

First class product
Would RecommendI researched generators for dozens of hours and just could not find anything to beat The Honda. Fit,finish, features and performance are second to none.My only issue is that this model has no hour meter.
From Honda Power Equipment
Great generator!
Would RecommendEasy to setup. Started right up, smooth and quiet! Can't wait to use it on my next camping trip! I would prefer a remote start, which is not a built-in option, but there is a kit for that.

Works great
Would RecommendI purchased the generator due to a power outage caused by high winds.I powered my refrigerater,tv,wifi and computers for 12 hrs. with my new Honda EU3000is generator and it ran flawlessly for 12 hrs..
From Honda Power Equipment
Very Pleased
Would RecommendOnly had this a month but it's the best you can buy..Using for home back up having a transfer switch placed in the basement and wired up next month.. Quality is what you expect from Honda.. #1 feature is it is quiet I mean really quiet Its heavy but thats the build quality of Honda. If you want a light weight buy a generac or predator or some other junk from the bargain bin.

Outstanding product
Would RecommendThis generator is easy to start and very very quiet while it’s running. This generator exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this Product to everyone.
From Honda Power Equipment
Excellent Generator in every way
Would RecommendI bought this generator mostly to run my furnace and sensitive electronics. Honda claimed the inverter sine wave was such that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Their guarantee was spot on. Even my very sensitive gas furnace start up circuitry works without issue. The generator is very quiet and fuel efficient. I bought the wheel kit to help the mobility. That also was impressive on how it fit and works. 5 stars for function and value.
