does it have more power output than the honda
606118
The EF3000iSE produces a peak of 3000 watts plus 500 watts of boost (for short intervals, such as start up of an appliance). It's rated continuous output is 2800 Watts. It can produce a maximum of 25 amps and is rated for continuous operation at 23.3amps. If more current is called for, the unit will shut down automatically. You will need to check the similar ratings of whatever Honda model you are comparing it to. These ratings are available from the specifications of each of the units you are interested in.

My last power washer (a much older model) had a Honda engine - but this is my first Generac. I've had it for several months, and in every respect so far it seems to be its equal. It starts immediately, and runs powerfully. I have been very happy with this unit. Just used it yesterday - works like a charm.

Don't know, but it's not as powerful as I would have liked. I'm used to car audio amps such as J L Audio and this is a nice little amp but not nearly as powerful as the one in my trunk rated at 500W. I rarely use even a tenth of it's power. My very efficient home sub made by Klipsch needs more.

Yes, it does. You can definitely just use the throttle to power it. From what I have tested, it can go at least 14.4 miles.
2169957
yes and no it will depend on what you are running in the car. I have two 5000 amps with three 3500 watt 12" in my trunk. And i have the sirus radio.

Yep, sure does. Solar power on the top, and a crank on the back. You can see the crank if you look at the black radio of this same model.

The higher the amp the more electrical energy is sent. The car will charge faster.

The honda generator I have requires a pigtail from the generator which looks like a simple extension cord plugin to a twenty amp plug which then plugs into your twenty amp cord that you will run out from the reliance box. Personally I wished I would have bought the 30 amp reliance box which is identical except for the plugin. The 30 amp connectors are more standard size and are more available than the 20 amp stuff in my experience.

The amount of power draw it will have from the engine can be roughly compared to that of the headlights of your car. You'll never notice.

Keep in mind the Powerhouse has a 50% larger engine than the Yamaha, and 20% bigger than the Honda. The Costco clone is also 80cc. It will have less sustained output, especially at altitude.

Honda = Cadillac, Hyundai = Chevrolet, They both generate electricity, will put out about 2KW, are dependable, and well built. The Honda is quieter, better designed with more features, the circuitry produces a more pure current for fine electronics, is able to connect to another Honda generator to produce combined great output, and has a local service network throughout the US. I bought the Hyundai to use everywhere, and then upgraded to a Honda EU3000i for convenience of a turnkey start, and the quietness it provides when used to tailgate and camp. I still use the Hyundai for a durable work unit. Honda = Cadillac, Hyundai = Chevrolet, They both generate electricity, will put out about 2KW, are dependable, and well built.

600 watts and 12 volts take 50 amps to operate it. Too small of an alternator or generator will burn the alternator or generator up trying to power this unit. Use a heater that will operate with the generating system you have on the Honda. Probably a smaller unit. Calculate the total current load of your Honda and add this to it. You will find the alt/gen you have is too small.

After the Derecho, I got two of these based on recommendations of the Amateur Radio community in WV and OH. Very clean power. And sips fuel if you manage your loads correctly. From the specs: - AC output:120V 2000W. (2.0 kVA) max. (16.6A), 1600W (1.6kVA) rated (13.3A) Thus, running is a Nominal 13.3 A. (But you would be surprised what you can run at half of that. You can take it and a Companion version and gang them together into a transfer switch. Or run separate extension cords. I got mine from http://www.mayberrys.com/Honda/generators/eu2000.aspx since they are out on Amazon. Recommended is a Kill-a-Watt meter which measures the actual loads on appliances. Surprising how efficient new items are. P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity available from Amazon. I have TVs, Computers and Networks on Battery backups. These only draw 2.x amps -- really. The Refrigerator in the house hits 2.8A if the compressor kicks on. Coffee pots and Microwaves are as rated. I looked at several carts and the Honda one is better for my back. Your mileage may vary. If using with an RV or portable setup, you might want to get the theft proof bracket in Honda accessories on Amazon. That and a good Master Lock and 6 ft of good chain at least slows people down. This is not the right place for this but I hope it has been useful. I love mine (all two of them) and test them monthly. That is the key also -- test with Sta-Bil-ed fuel and cycle it all every 6 months or so.

Hi Remab: I have no way of knowing that at all. I'm just a guy who bought one for my 2001 Aston Martin DB7 which has a 450HP V12 engine and it works there. Best to ask the seller or your Honda dealer. Some of my friends have had Hondas in the past and I've had a ride in them. A friend just bought a 2014 Honda for his wife and the digital speedo is so high and well placed I can't imagine why you would want a Head up display--it would seem to duplicate what Honda has already done a good job of.

Theoretically it is 3% more efficient in its use of power. Realistically you will notice no difference. This power supply is a pure luxury supply. There are more powerful, cheaper supplies, but this one is built like a 1970s Mercedes Benz. Rock solid luxury, for a price.

Absolutely! Solid power all right; Will run VHF effortlessly, and 100 watt HF easily and charge the cabin batteries to boot.. Although I had the power transformer develop an internal short in the first unit I bought (NEW), but I had a bigger spare in the junk box that just squeezed into the case. The second unit I bought on ebay, the pass transistors were fried, so I replaced them with heavier duty units. Now they both work like I want. (Will pull down the 2000i Honda Generator just by dialing the voltage you want for the load.)Same as most electronic equipment from China I guess, It ain't made in America. But, I'm satisfied with it.Gunde VE7TNN Absolutely! Solid power all right; Will run VHF effortlessly, and 100 watt HF easily and charge the cabin batteries to boot..

It's an awesome unit, I live in New Mexico and it gets really hot here sometimes,we do alot of summertime fishing while the wife stays in the camper with AC, TV and all the other Electronics one can think of. This little generator kicks butt, it's a little louder then the Honda but not by much. Definitely worth the money! Take care of it and it will take care of U. Hope this helps.
