Pros of the Honda EU2000I Inverter Generator
Cons of the Honda EU2000I Inverter Generator
Observations
The run time depends on the power load. If you are using the full 2000 watts, it runs for three and a half hours. If you’re running a partial load like only a few appliances, it can run all day.
The unit is gas powered. You can’t power it from the propane tanks that run almost everything else in the RV, but then again, you don’t have to draw down your 20 pound propane tank to power your computer or electric appliances. Do not ever use E85 or any fuels with more than ten percent alcohol in this generator or you’ll damage it over time.
This inverter generator doesn’t have a meter to tell you how many hours it has run, but it has a built in notification light that flashes once for every hundred hours it has run.
Summary
This unit costs more than average given the power it puts out, but you get a durable, reliable unit that almost anyone can fix that runs off most types of gasoline. Some people complain about having to buy separate DC cables, but others appreciate the high power quality and relatively low noise level it puts out. That is invaluable when you’re running an inverter generator in a small space like an RV or camping in a cabin off the grid.
