Honda EU7000is - 5500 Watt Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator

I already own a Honda EU6500. I felt that was the best generator sold on the market in the 5500 watt range until I bought the Honda EU7000. The Honda EU7000 is fuel injected and that's a real game changer. Very easy to start, and it runs very smooth at any load. All you have to do is turn the key switch and push the start button. It also has a 5.1 gallon fuel tank for an outstanding run time of around 18 hours at 1/4 load. It's the only fuel injected inverter generator in the 7000 watt range that has an electric or a pull start if the battery was dead. The pull start is a great option to have on a generator used for emergency home backup or out in the woods camping. Its still a very quiet generator.

What you get over the EU6500:

1. Fuel injection over carburetor.
2. A lager fuel tank, 5.1 gallons.
3. Parallel option.
4. A redesigned air box, no surging.
5. SAME PRICE as the EU6500.

The best just got better.

Purchased this generator for my food truck. It has about 1,000 hours on it and has been in the shop for over a month. Honda nor the shop can figure out whats wrong. So much for honda reliability. Would not reccommend. Buy a used 6500 if you're looking for quality and reliability.

This is a big investment and I am very glad I chose the Honda EU7000is and bought it from ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com. I knew I wanted an inverter to protect the electric equipment in my home including an older low pressure sewer pump that I did not want to damage. Honda makes the best inverters and the best engines in my experience. The EFI was the deal breaker for me and I have a higher load so the EU7000 was the best fit.

I also picked up a number of accessories to take advantage of the free shipping offer. I recommend the GenTent, the Reliance inlet with the bottom facing receptacle. I also purchased the 10 circuit Reliance transfer switch and had an electrician install it for me.

I am at 12 months and 96 hours of use with no problems. I conduct monthly tests. The maintenance is also very easy. That reminds me: pick up some Honda oil for the first change or two. Without the shipping charge, it made the most sense to me.

My Honda EU7000is arrived in perfect condition. I had the lift gate service. The delivery went seamless. I uncrated it and it as very user friendly to add the oil to and connect the battery. Had my electrician install an interlock switch and exterior 30 amp inlet plug to connect my generator to. Fired the EU7000is up and could not believe quiet this generator is. I would buy this generator again.

Purchased this to power our 5ver when out boon-docking and have run the AC and other accessories - no problems.

This thing is very heavy but very quiet. Expensive is my only complaint.

Delivery was prompt as well.

This the best gen on the market. Low maintenance cost and operation. Super quiet and reliable. The only thing I can think of that could be improved on is that if it had an option to run on LP gas as well. Like a dual fuel gen. It may not be the cheapest generator out there. But trust me, don't waste your money buying anything else.

I purchased this generator to run my camper trailer. It has more than enough power to run all the appliances at once without having to chose. Additionally, it will be my backup power source should the power ever go out in my house. I highly recommend the pirchase of this generator, well worth the price. You can't beat PED when buying the Honda EU7000i.

I am in absolute heaven with this generator. It is everything that it is hyped to be in terms of performance, ease of use, fuel efficiency, low noise, and top quality design and engineering.

Electric Generators Direct were prompt in processing the transaction and getting it out the door. But that was when the nightmare began. Several times I made appointments for SAIA Miami to deliver the generator, and every time I would stay home from work to receive it and they would either not show up, or call at the last minute to cancel. The lady in charge of dispatch was impossible to reach and did not return several calls until I got SAIA headquarters customer service involved, She was condescending and totally apathetic to my plight. My generator sat in their warehouse for about a week, missed at least 4 appointments costing me a lot of work time-off, before they finally delivered the generator.

If you are going to purchase from Electric Generators Direct, expect good service from the distributor, I don't know about other SAIA locations, but you are in for a horrible experience if you are receiving in Miami.

Final note. I gave five stars because I was rating the generator. A word of caution to Electric Generators Direct, the whole experience of the sales transaction does not end when the generator leaves your warehouse. It ends with a satisfied customer. I was extremely dissatisfied with the delivery of my $3,999 generator. If you don't do something about SAIA Miami, other customers might not be as tolerant and patient as I have been.

I like everything about this generator! It's expensive, but appears to be worth it. Packaging was excellent, user's manual is complete and easy to understand. Electric pushbutton start, fuel injection, 'eco" fuel saving feature, inverter technology, very quiet operation (much quieter than I expected), fit and finish, portability, and fuel tank size are all great features. Even the gas tank cap is first rate. Build quality and attention to detail is super.

We bought this generator for use on a mobile pet grooming trailer. Quiet operation is essential as many neighborhoods will not tolerate a loud generator. This product lives up to Honda's reputation for fine craftsmanship. It has plenty of power for our application, and is quiet enough to have a conversation while standing next to the unit. We run a 13.5 AC unit, blowers, driers, lights, and miscellaneous other equipment and have been able to leave it on the Eco-mode, allowing for about 18 hours of operation on a 5.5 gallon tank of gas. We'll be looking at a second one in the near future.

I combined my recently purchased Honda eu7000is with the APC 120/240 Transfer switch and I'm very pleased. I hope we have a quiet hurricane season here in South Florida but I believe we are well prepared if it turns ugly. My neighbor just installed a stand alone system for $20k but my setup will provide my family all that I think we'll need.
