And it causes a racket. Neighbours may not appreciate it.

When I first got my 6500K unit, I wanted to put it to a real test...................Out came the 15 amp 12" DeWalt Miter Saw............put a nice 4" x 4" in the saw & fired it up...........Cut thru the 4"x 4" without so much as a hiccup.............And to think, I could buy 4 of these for the price of one EU3000.... :eek1:
Lucky thing I have 2 extras stored in Steve's fallout shelter......

As a Honda EU2000 owner here is my input. I also have a 10HP full size that I am selling on another thread.
The Honda is SUPER quiet compared to the 10HP full size.
It also start on 2-3 pulls and is fully portable as it weighs 50ish pounds. The wife can start and carry it with no problem. The 10HP takes 2 people to lift even though its on wheels.
The Honda also offers clean power. What ever that means. But is safe to run electrical equipment like TVs with no spikes. Again thats what Honda stated.
A cool feature of the Honda is you can chain 2 units together for more power. 2- EU2000's = 4000 watts.
Also the Honda is an approved generator to use in Avalon Harbor. This is because it is so quiet and they have a strict noise policy.
I have had mine over a year and at the time paid 1K out the door.
The bad with the Honda is DO NOT LET THE GAS SIT in the carburetor. After a month or so it will gum up and not start. I had this happen and paid 125 to have it cleaned. I now start it once a month or so and let is run for 10 minutes.

So do we have to buy a certain number of the EU2000i to get the $869 price? Does it have to go through you or can we just call them individually? I would like it to be shipped directly to me if possible. Please LMK. Thanks.

I run the main pumps for circulation, tank heater if needed, my fridge, freezer, a light, TV and cable box. I know there is more power available, but I use it only for these items. Have used it once since I bought it and power was out over night. I know my neighbors loved me as it was so quiet. I think I filled the tank once before power came on. The power was off for 12 hours.
I know my neighbors would have complained and rightfully so if I had my 10HP running at 3am.

Jimmy, I didn't have a chance to call until now. The price is $869 for the EU2000i and there is an additional double box fee of some sort for another ~$9. The unit will be shipped to wherever. Just need to talk to my wife
