To start, the most impressive features of the EU3000iS is how quiet it is. Producing a maximum volume of just 57 dB, this generator makes as much noise as many competing 2,000-watt generators do when running without any power load. On top of that, it can run for a massive 7.4 hours at its rated load on a single tank of gas – or up to 20 hours at 25% load. The generator is built around a genuine Honda engine, which virtually guarantees that this generator will last for decades if properly maintained. With those features in mind, it’s easy to see why Honda can charge a premium for this generator – and why users rave about the machine after putting it to use.

Honda Power Equipment EU3000IS

The Honda EU3000iS is also called as the one of the best 3,000-watt inverter generators, capable of producing 3,000 watts of surge power and 2,800 watts of continuous power. This power availability makes the generator incredibly versatile. 3,000 watts is just enough power to run all of your home’s essential appliances and a few rooms’ worth of lights during a power outage. Alternatively, 3,000 watts can allow you to turn on everything, including an air conditioning unit, inside a medium to large RV.

  • CO-MINDER: advanced carbon monoxide detection system

Ease of use

With the exception of the lack of USB ports described above, Honda did place emphasis on ease of use in designing the EU3000iS. The generator comes with an electric starter and the battery is built into the generator, charging automatically when the generator is turned on, so that you never need to fuss with it. In case the battery ever does die or there’s a problem with the electric start, there’s also a recoil starter available on the generator. The recoil starter is simple and users report that it fires the generator up within one to two pulls every time.
