Honda 3000 EU3000IH1A Handi Generator Overview
The EU3000iH1A, commonly known as the EU3000i Handi or Honda 3000, is an inverter generator produced by Honda.
Inverter generators are part of a sweeping theme to create more efficient and stable energy. Due to the advanced mechanics behind it, inverter technology produces more power while using less fuel than convention generators. Power is stable and clean, which on the road, or in a power outage, is about all you can ask for. Whether it’s for basic necessities, or more leisurely things like computers and televisions, inverter technology is what you need.
Efficiency plays a big part in making Honda generators (and their other products in general) special. At first glance, a fuel tank with a 1.6-gallon capacity seems pretty small. Due to Honda’s innovation, at full throttle, a single tank will last three and a half hours. When utilizing the Eco Throttle System, the minute tank of the EU3000i will last nearly eight hours. Try running a car or any other machine for eight hours on less than two gallons of gas—not going to happen.
Just like most small machines, the Honda 3000 EU3000i Handi generator is started via recoil system. With a state of art Honda engine, you’ll be up and running with a few pulls. After the initial ignition, you’ll hardly notice that the generator is running due to how quiet it is. At its loudest, the generator will run at about 58 decibels. By comparison, having a conversation with a few people will creep into the 60s. If your generator starts to get too loud, you might want to consider having it serviced.
What can the Honda 3000 EU3000i Handi power?
With 3000 watts of power and 120 volts, you can power quite a bit. On the small end, you can power the basics like fans, hair dryers, blenders, coffee makers and microwaves. Due to the size of the generator, however, you can use all of these at once—no more taking shifts using the power.
Starting to think bigger picture, you can power your larger appliances for extended periods of time. This includes things like garage door openers, incandescent lights and other appliances of similar size and power.
The largest appliances powered using the Honda 3000 EU3000i Handi generator are refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners. Not to be outdone, you can even power the AC for an RV, so long as its smaller than 13500 BTU. If you take advantage of the parallel capability, you can expand this selection exponentially.
