Honda Inverter Generators: Verified Specifications
Honda’s inverter generators are known for quiet running and clean power, and this guide covers what we can verify. The two Honda models in our comparison tool come from Honda press releases retrieved on 4 November 2026. An earlier version of this page listed several wattages and fuel types that were wrong, and we have removed them.

- EU2200i: an inverter rated 1,800 running and 2,200 peak watts. The weight is 46.5 lb, and Honda states 62 dB at rated load and 53 dB at 1/4 load, with 8.1 hours at 1/4 load. Honda’s release lists one 20A 120V duplex outlet and a 12V DC outlet, and a 3 year residential and commercial warranty.
- EU7000iS: rated 5,500 running and 7,000 peak watts, with 120/240V output. Honda states 58 dB at rated load, 52 dB at 1/4 load, 16 hours at 1/4 load and a weight of 263.2 lb.
What the earlier page got wrong
- It listed the EU2200i as both 2,200 watts and 4,400 watts, and as dual fuel. Honda states 1,800 running and 2,200 peak watts, on gasoline.
- It listed an EU3000iS as running on natural gas. We found no source for that.
CO protection
Honda markets a CO-Minder system on some models. The press releases we used do not cover carbon monoxide protection, so we do not say which models have it. Check the current Honda listing for your model, and never run any generator indoors. See the safety guide.
What we could not verify
- EU1000i, EU3000iS and the EU3200i. We have no Honda source we can access for them, and retailer listings disagree on run time and weight, so we give no figures.
- Prices. Honda states none in the releases we used.
- Parallel operation and Bluetooth monitoring. We have no sourced details.
