Topic: Honda EU2000 Posted: 07 Oct 2013 at 10:16pm |
Someone in my area just listed the pair of units for 1800 in the local classifieds. Obviously the American units as they show the companion. under 10hours of usage. My only hold back is if I need warranty work done, Honda Canada wont honour them. I know it's a honda but if in the future something needs to be done, would be paying out of pocket. Is there anything I should look for when viewing? DOes it matter what gas he's used, whether ethanol free or not.. If they run good when I view, is that a pretty good indication that they are fine? Any advice? THey are probably not going to last too long.

Run each one under high load, like an electric heater. Then try them together with two heaters. Try eco mode and normal mode. If that is all OK I would go for it.

Gone, that fast. The ad was taken down this afternoon. He had them advertised as a pair of generators. Nowhere in the description or title did it say Honda. The pic clearly showed to eu2000i's paralleled together. Someone knew what they wanted and went for it right away. Oh well, you snooze you lose.
Many regrets, Me

There are other options for generators that work well and cost much less. It doesn't have to be red to work. Don't regret to much.

Ive read about some of them. But it needs to be quiet and dependable like red. Sort of leaning towards the eu3000 now. The weight and price is certainly an issue but at least ill have support for it, and it should pretty much run everything on the pod. And it's quiet.
Don't know much about the others other than what I've read online. Assuming your talking about boliy and kipor. |

Yep, but the red one has the fuel pump so you can connect the outboard motor fuel tank and run all day and all night. Else, get up every few hours and refuel the little tank. |

Everyone needs to get what they want. My $300 Champion runs as long as I sleep on a tank of gas, is reasonably quiet, will run my air, nuke box and anything else in the Pod at the same time. It has not let me down yet, and I can by six of them for the price of this used set of red ones. If you are in a camp ground you can't run any of them during quiet time, and if you aren't you will never hear the gen set over the air in the pod. When I priced a pair of the red ones and cabling needed it came in around $2400. I had $2100 t0 spend on lots of other fun stuff.

So are you buying a round of beers if all podders come to WI this weekend? I'm curious, how much gas does yours use overnight running the A/C? |

Doug, for you I will buy you a beer any time.
I have never run the AC all night. The tank holds all of a 5 gallon gas can, and I have run it for 10 hours with the air running. It is heavy, and I need help lifting it into the bed of my truck. It stays there when I am using it. |
