The generator arrived relatively quickly and in excellent condition (no signs of rough handling by the freight company). The generator itself was easy to set up - the wheels needed to be installed and oil added to the crankcase. The setup instructions said to charge the starter battery, but my voltmeter measured it at 12.7 VDC out of the box, so no charging was needed. The engine started immediately, and runs MUCH quieter than the old Generac it is replacing (which had a nasty habit of failing when it was most needed). Outputs measured 122VAC/244VAC and was very steady. I have not had a power outage since the purchase, but I am optimistic this generator will make it much easier to deal with whenever the next one occurs.

Satisfied with my new generator but disappointed with the discharged battery it was delivered with. Got it started with the pull cord but my shoulder can't sustain that. I understand that it would be nearly impossible to ensure that every unit went out with a charged battery but now I'm worried it will let me down later this winter when I really need it. Charged battery at 1.0 A for 12 hours and used a conductance tester: 165/230 CCA. Might be better to ship this generator without a battery so the owner could start off fresh.

After years of using a loud, pull-start generator this Honda push-button start is a dream. Most times when a generator is required the weather conditions aren't great and it was so nice to be up and running in a couple of minutes and then enjoy a full night of quite power.

Very quiet compared to my neighbor's generax...have had no emergency yet but with the transfer switch we had installed, it's going to be a 5 minute procedure to get 90% power after outage.

STOP! This may be a great generator!! BUT don’t buy it here. Buy it from your local dealer. Mine showed up damaged. And now I have to file a claim with the freight company, it’s not major but it’s definitely scratched and it’s a brand new $4500 unit!. It started…but stalled because of the O2 sensor… then wouldn’t start again. Which made me panic because I needed it to work for an event… the battery had enough power for one start but that was it! After buying a charger and hooking it up I was able to get it it to start… BUT This company John’s whatever.. they are NOT going to help you… they have a special customer service line for these online orders… but had I bought it from my local dealer.. they would have installed it or cared that it was not working or tested it or charged the battery. I’m hopefully this is an amazing generator that gives me years of easy use with good maintenance….. BUT find your local dealer and use them…. Save yourself the headache….make the relationship with a big purchase… and you’ll have that going forward. Signing off… still haven’t heard back from the seller.. it’s been only 6 hours… but I’ve talked with every local distributor…. Had it been a bigger issue, it would be an absolute nightmare to deal with….

Full disclosure: I did not buy this unit from Amazon; I bought it from a local brick & mortar equipment dealer that is also a licensed Honda repair facility. This review is ONLY for the Honda EU7000iS generator, NOT for any other similar models that might exist. I have long had a portable generator to run my home's electrical system during the protracted power outages we have in my area, especially after Summer storms. My previous generator was Briggs & Stratton unit rated for 6000 Watts (or V/A), which I DID buy from Amazon about 14 years ago. That was a great generator, always starting on the first pull, running long enough on a tank of gas to easily make it through the night without refueling, and putting out the whole-house power (for everything except the 240V part of the HVAC) for as long as 6 days straight. BUT.....as I get older, that is a BIG hard pull to start its engine and I worried about my shoulder, and it was VERY noisy (I often felt guilty running it overnight). I got a small windfall and decided to spend it on one of these famous Honda "Quiet" generators. I have seen much smaller ones running at various events, making just a quiet hum or purr that was easy to talk over. Unfortunately, I did need a generator capable of putting out as much as 6000 Watts (or V/A) continuously, so I had to look at the 'big iron', and the model EU7000iS was the best match at 7000 Watts continuous rating (surge can be a bit higher for a few seconds). Note that various Honda documents seem to refer to the 7000 Watts as MAXIMUM without mentioning the surge capability that is supposed to be higher. I should note that I almost decided on either of a couple different models that were nearly as powerful, but noticed that they were "120V only" models. I connected my old generator to my house's electrical system using a 4-prong 240V/30A plug and socket arrangement with a 50' long cable. This seems to my house's electrical system to be the same as the normal power grid, and it can support all the 120V circuits in the house, as well as any 240V circuits, and with the center-neutral arrangement expected. Those "120V only" models do not have such a means for easily connecting to my house, and if I used them I would have to rig up some kludgy arrangement of extension cords; less safe and more hassle. This EU7000iS is, however, designed to directly source 120/240V power directly to a properly connected house using the conventional 240V/30A 4-prong plug & socket (and transfer switch) arrangement. This '7000' is just about the same overall size, weight and dimensions as my old generator, although by itself it seems to be considerably smaller. So the corner of the garage where I kept the old one will still fit the new one. This 7000 can be started with the rope pull (recoil starter), and it takes me a single strong pull, just like my old generator, and at about the same strength, to get it started. However, the 7000 also has a SMALL battery that allows the control electronics to perform an automatic start sequence (I assume that it uses the DC generator 'backwards' as an engine-starter-motor); a brief press-and-release of the Engine Start Button and the 'computer/electronics' take care of the entire startup sequence, which in my experience takes about a second, although so far I have seen it take up to four seconds (for some reason, a cold start seems to GO right way, while a re-start after running seems to result on a rougher start-up followed by just a few seconds to sort itself out before running smoothly). A BIG 'gotcha' is that the small battery seems capable of only one or two starts before it needs to be recharged, and recharging IN THE GENERATOR seems to take at least one hour of continuous running. It can be quite easy to get into a situation where the user might need to start this generator a few times within an hour, and based on my own experiences, after the first one or two battery starts, the user will need to pull-start after those until the generator has been running uninterrupted for quite a while. [Honda's manual and customer service seem to skirt this characteristic, but my dealer told me this is the only real complaint that have received about this unit, and they have heard it quite a few times. In MY case, my dealer has arranged for Honda to send our a replacement battery under warranty, because from the serial number my particular unit appears to have been made a few years ago so maybe the original battery might not be in optimal condition anymore. The 7000 comes with two wheels and a 'towing' handle so it can be moved around much like a wheelbarrow. Nevertheless, it is quite heavy and it takes considerable effort to move it around. Some smaller, weaker, older people might find moving it to be something of a challenge. The handle does fold down flat against one side of the unit, and it has a pair of latches to keep it in place while in 'active' position. The 7000 is designed to run on 'regular' unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 or higher (most 'regular' gas in the USA is 87 octane). It can tolerate ethanol additive of as much as 10%. Unless operated in the winter, it takes regular SAE10W-30 motor oil. Honda recommends their own 'small engine' oil (which is reportedly not synthetic), and my dealer recommends just any old good-quality 10W-30 and suggests that there is no advantage to using synthetic in this machine's engine. The engine is Honda's model GX390 EFI (electronic fuel injection) rated at 389cc. The gas tank holds 5.1 gallons, which should give a continuous runtime of 6.4 hours at the full-rated load, or up to about 16 hours at 1/4 load; this is WITH the "ECO throttle" switch turned on......runtime may be less with the "ECO throttle" switch turned off [this feature, when switched ON, allows the engine to run much slower, and more fuel efficiently, when the generator detects little or no load.....a nice feature for jobsites when only portable power tools are being powered, but NOT recommended for when the generator is being used to power a home during a power outage, or an RV at a campsite]. The actual generator portion consists of two identical power-producing circuits, each producing 120V. Depending on the setting of a Voltage Selector Switch, these two circuits can be connected in SERIES or PARALLEL. With the switch in the "120V/240V" position, the two circuits are connected in SERIES, with the center "neutral" being at their common point, delivering 120V across each circuit and/or 240V across the pair, just like the power that normally feeds into a residential building; one of the two GFCI duplex receptacles is fed from one of the two circuits, and the other GFCI duplex receptacle is fed from the other circuit, and both circuits feed the 240V/30A 4-prong receptacle. With the switch in the "120V Only" position, the two circuits are connected in PARALLEL, producing only 120V but at about twice the power; both of the two GFCI duplex receptacles are connected to this circuit, as is HALF of the 240V/30A 4-prong receptacle (the other half is not connected). There is also another receptacle, with three prongs, rated at 120V/30A, and this is always connected to the same source as one of the two GFCI duplex receptacles [it can only supply about 23A when the switch is in the "120V Only" position, but it can supply the full 30A when the switch is in the "120V/240V" position. In the "120V/240V" position, the 240V/30A 4-prong receptacle can supply about 23A at the full 240V. A table/chart in the manual details which receptacles get their power from where, and with what kind of power rating. OK, it is a generator. What are the (other) features? The control panel is quite full and busy, on account of the automated electronic controls and various features: - Voltage Selector Switch (as described above) - Main Switch (On/Off) [this has a removable knob which functions as a safety key, and TWO are provided] - Engine Start Button [like on a modern automobile...push once briefly and the automated engine controls take over] - Bank of status indicators [OUTPUT power being generated, OVERLOAD ALARM, LOW OIL ALERT (the latter will automatically stop the engine)] - "I-Monitor" [back-lit LCD display that shows Total Operating Hours, Power Output in V/A, ENGINE RPM, BATTERY VOLTAGE, and REMAINING OPERATING HOURS estimate according to load and remaining fuel]; only one readout is visible at a given time, and a water-proof button switches between them in sequence. There are other indications here; "batt" will be displayed if the Engine Start button is pressed but the battery voltage is too low, numerical error messages can appear, and the LCD backlight can flash to indicate that the switch has been ON for 30 seconds without trying to start the engine. - "ECO Throttle Switch", when ON allows the engine to automatically reduce speed to save on fuel whenever there electrical load(s) are not drawing power. This is great for jobsite power tools, but could be problematic for the wide variety of loads in a typical house that the generator might be used to power in emergencies, so it is best to switch this to OFF in that situation. - "CO-Minder" is a small sub-panel that alarms if excessive carbon monoxide levels are measured around the unit; after a short delay, this can result in automatic engine shutoff. A pushbutton resets the alarm and allows the engine to be started again. An indicator can illuminate to show that the CO detector is at "end of life" and requires replacement. - Each of the 4 receptacles has its own circuit breaker on the panel. The three smaller receptacles have small water-proof reset buttons which pop-out when the circuit has been tripped by over-current. The larger 120V/240V receptacle uses a lever-type circuit breaker. - The four receptacles each have a flexible rubbery flap that is held down by gravity and should be sufficient to keep the faces of the receptacles dry in the event of rain while the generator is being used at a jobsite outside 'in the weather'. The generator is indeed very quiet when compared to more conventional portable generators. The Honda engine used is purportedly built internally more like an automobile engine, and as such makes a lot less mechanical noise than a typical small engine. A more capable muffler is also used. Electronic engine controls include direct electronic fuel injection and choke-less aspiration, so the normal small-engine noisy valves and problematic carburetion is absent here. This all results in a greatly reduced noise level. Honda then added an integral sound enclosure, with acoustic baffles surrounding the engine assembly. Access to left and right side mechanisms is via two large hinged maintenance panels with rubber gasket seals (much like the flexible rubber seals around automobile doors) and held tightly closed by twist latches (they require a flat blade screwdriver....knobs would have been nicer). Additional openings of a similar kind are for access to the spark plug and battery compartments. With any of these open, the overall noise level increases quite noticeably. The 7000 also has connectors for use with an accessory that allows TWO type 7000 generators to be used together for more power. There is provision for Remote Control, and connection to a smart-phone 'app' via Bluetooth, although I have read many complaints that users found this to be difficult to get working. I have not tried any of these features and can't comment on them. The air cleaner is in a nicely engineered chamber, accessed behind one of the two large maintenance covers; it is more like the air cleaner cover on modern automobiles than what is typically done on small gas engines. It includes a washable foam filter element and a non-washable paper filter element. Some specifications from Honda's website: - Dimensions: (L x W x H) 47.2"x27.6"x28.4" or with Handles Folded: 33.4"x27.6"x 28.4" - Noise Level: 58 dB(A) at rated load, 52 dB(A) at 1/4 load - Dry Weight (no fuel): 263 lb - Warranty (in Residential use): 3 Years (an extended warranty of up to 3 additional years can be purchased, but not cheaply) So far, I have successfully run my whole house for one hour using this generator, except via my transfer switch I was still using utility power to operate the Air Conditioner's outside compressor unit. This generator MIGHT be able to handle that additional load sometimes, but my transfer switch only has 10 circuits and so I did not wish to tie up TWO of those just for the AC compressor. The only disappointment I have so far is the weaker-than-expected battery and lackluster phone support from Honda (I have found them to be very easy to reach, and without long waits, and with agents located in the States, but the two people I have talked to there don't seem to know anything technical). This generator also utilizes solid-state electronic "inverter" technology to synthesize clean(er) AC waveforms than a traditional generator produces. While there is much marketing about how this is better because of how sensitive "modern electronics" supposedly are, in reality almost every electronic thing found in a modern house uses "switching" type power supplies, which are not affected by wide voltage irregularities, frequencies, noise, rough waveforms, etc. It is precisely "modern electronics" that don't really benefit from the inverter technology, but hey, this technology is so inexpensive now that it is found in all sorts of back-up power equipment and it certainly does not hurt to have it. This generator has available an optional "Hanger Kit" that attaches to the structure and allows for hoisting the generator onto transport vehicles, etc. NOTE: My old generator 'bonded' its "Neutral" generator connection to its steel chassis and the "Ground" prongs of its receptacles, but this could be defeated to provide Ground/Neutral isolation by removing a jumper located inside the cap of the generator housing. In contrast, this 7000 generator inherently has electrical isolation between generator "Neutral" and the chassis "Ground" (which is where the receptacle "Ground" prongs are connected to). This is exactly correct when the generator is connected to a house's electrical system, which provides the 'bonding' between earth Ground and the Neutral connection at a single point in the circuit breaker panel. If used on a jobsite, and if a true Earth Ground is desired, the 7000 has a "Ground" terminal on the bottom edge of the chassis, where a bonding wire may be connected to make connection to an Earth Ground point. If a particular situation arises where the generator's MUST have their receptacle "Ground" prongs bonded to the generator circuit's "Neutral" (as some local codes and/or OSHA, etc might require), the user can rig up a bonding plug; buy a typical plug that will fit any unused socket on a receptacle, and install a short wire inside it that bridges between the "Ground" and "Neutral" prongs, then plug that into the unused outlet.
