I'm surprised by my Honda EU20i, it hasn't done much work in the 8 years I've had it, I haven't used it for 18 months, put in new fuel, started ok, plugged in the small fridge that it runs when we have a power failure, but this time it won't start the fridge ?

Just purchased a Honda EU20I second hand, looks good runs good but no power out put. Contacted Honda dealership who told me it would cost over a thousand dollars to fix . More than it is worth . So if the generator stops producing power may as well throw it away. I don't have a warranty so not sure what to do with it. Boat anchor maybe.

I run my Eu20i five hours a day, six days a week. Starts first time, every time, and has done so for four years now. Never misses a beat. Only had one repair - starter cord - cost $30. I get around 14 hours use from a single tank on ECO setting, which is nice and quiet. If you need a reliable generator thats fuel efficient, quiet and sturdy - you cannot go past this one.

You buy Honda mostly for the name and quality. Though Honda generators are made in Thailand and the Australian services are poor. Honda's cash back system on their products is the biggest headache of all. Wait over 6 weeks to get your rebate and be forced to jump through so many hoops to activate the EFTPOS cards just to get your rebate. At the end of the day for the amount of cash you pay for the name "Honda" it isn't worth your while. Shop around, there are plenty of other quality engines out there that just don't have the name, tho services, quality and price is superior.

I love the Eco mode which saves fuel. Great little portable generator. Super reliable as long as you give it a service at least every couple of years. Needs regular oil changes but apart from that, a real ripper. We use ours daily and it is still going beautifully 5 years on.

Yep after only 12 months the genny has stopped producing electricity. I agonised over purchasing this premium product as I thought that I could get several for the same outlay off ebay. Disturbing to hear that it is a throw away item and can't be repaired. A lot of money for 12 months use.

My honda generator pretty much saves my back . It was as description. Even came oiled and gasoline. Didn't think that was possible. Dangerous goods and all. Came fast and free. Less money then going into town. And i do not think i could live without it now. Like i said. Easy starting. Light. And powerful. I love it

Having the Honda name, I knew this generator would always be reliable and available whenever needed. Relatively light and easy to handle, it's almost guaranteed to start the first time.

Bought this Honda EU20i generator to run my onsite bush caravan, (before I went solar) basic things like lights, and TV.
Well the Honda runs sweet as a nut, perfect, there are a few problems,
single outlet, no outlet cover, no hour meter for service intervals, only uses a flashing light system and price, the Honda seems a bit over priced for what you get, or do not get.
There are other cheaper 2000watt generators on the market that offer more eg: twin outlets with covers and a lot come with a protection cover, the Honda EU20i does not you need to buy one for $60.00

But you do get Honda, quiet, fuel efficiency, trouble free, warranty, weight and easy starting.
I like my Honda.

Our eu20i has powered our off the grid house for nine years. 365 days a year. 4-6 hours per day. Costs so far are fuel + monthly oil change + 1 pull start cord. Still starts on first pull. We have ordered a new eu20i and will keep the old one for convenience and parallel connection when required.

Bought a Honda Generator EU20i to supply power when out caravanning. The generator is pretty quiet (as far as a generator can be quiet), light (around 20kgs) and easy to use. Have had no problems with it. More pricey than the cheaper alternatives but for that extra price - quieter, lighter and more fuel efficient. Happy with the purchase.

This unit runs well a little on the noisy side but it is to be expected after all it is a generator
can't complain to date it has not let me down picked it up at a clearance sale price from importerdeals. I can't comment on the after sales service as to date I have never required any which is a good thing.
cuts out under load to protect your appliances, has a 240vac plug power point, purchased for $680 brand new with factory warranty, i have searched all other sites and you can expect to pay more than $1000, i am stocked with my honda and the price. perfect for the odd job camping uses are endless.

Purchased my unit in 2002. Have used it regularly for about 100 hours per year. Apart from a minor problem with the on/off switch becoming contaminated by dust when I forgot to put it on a scrap of carpet for just that purpose, have had NO PROBLEMS. I service it every 25 hours in harsh conditions, otherwise every 50 hours. Keep your fuel clean and fresh.
Reliable, great value for money. Would I buy another? YOU BET
Operator error . See comments above

Purchased this unit in 2003 to provide mains power to various appliances on my 40 ft yacht when at anchor. Chose Honda because the waveform was stable and suitable for power to electronic equipment and a microprocessor controlled battery charging system. Rust proofed the chassis. It was stowed on the upper deck in a purpose made canvas cover. Never missed a beat and ran a compact washing machine for over 70 hours. Moved it ashore and use it as an emergency power supply for two fridges and a freezer. This is an excellent unit and with regular maintenance shows no signs of failure.
Longevity. Ease of start, economical . 12v outlet.
Noisy in comparison to modern units by other manufacturers

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this legendary little generator. This baby has never missed a beat, its reasonably quiet, easy on the juice and reliable. Goes with me to work and on camping trips, its scratched, dirty as its been knocked around a lot but she keeps on purring away. Would I buy another.. in a heartbeat! Been very happy with this gen and the rest of the Honda products I own.
quiet, economical, reliable
No problems to date
