Honda eu2000i generator

[huntingmaxima]

Who has the best price on these?

The only reason I said honda, is because I did not know that there were that many other brands that you guys use. I checked oout N.T. in waite park and they wanted $999.99 for the honda. I am open to any ideas. Thanks in advance.

best I found was Hayes Equipment out of Oklahoma. I paid 869 out the door, no shipping, no tax, delivered to my front door 2 days after ordering!!

Pick mine up at Northern Tool for $870

I would check at or around at local pawn shops!

I purchased my Craftsman 3500watt Jan 3rd or 4th 2000 for dirt cheap. I held out untill Y2K was proven a bogus deal and pawn shops were over run with them! Worked out great!

I think I paided $250 for a $900 generator at pawn shop. The thing was brand new!

Genny runs great and is quite!

You should check out Kipor generators. They look identical to a Honda. Very quiet and efficent. Best part is you can get one online for $600 or less.

I love the one I've got.

I know the Honda lovers won't like to hear this, but Coleman has a 4 stroke generator with similar output using a Robin Subaru engine. You'll see these used at most construction sites for water pumps and generators. And it's pretty darn quiet at around half the price ($400.00). Also, it's available at the big orange stores scattered across the state. Worth a look, anyways.

All I can say is I love my eu2000 and I have not heard one thats nearly as quite, not saying they aren't out there I just haven't heard one yet. to me worth every penny

Apples and Oranges, The coleman does not have a pure sine inverter like honda, it is cleaner power than what your house can provide, coleman does not have a low oil shutoff like Honda, and Honda's noise dB is 53-59 @ low throttle and 60dB at full throttle, coleman runs at 71 dB, a normal conversation is about 60 dB. Plus honda has the eco-throttle that's much more efficient. Bottom-Line, you get what you pay for!

BTW, I got one shipped to my door from wise sales for $869.

True, but at 2 oranges for the price of your apple, there are going to be people that look to this as an alternative. I guess I kinda highjacked this a little; he was asking about a Honda, so He probably wants a Honda. I want one too, but can't justify the price right now. Either way, it's better than a 10-hp worksite generator on the ice!

My biggest reason for going with the honda was how quite they are. I paid $899 + tax though.. =(

Hooked I've nothin aginst Honda,I'd really like one but for less than $600.00 I got a colman with subaru robin 9 hp 5650 watt 63 db.low oil shut off If your comparing it to honda 2000 I've got 3500 more watts not much more noise but a good trade off,It can be used to run multiple tools on site 4&1/2 gal gas run 13-14 hrs under light to medium load when its not under I've had to walk toward it and see if it was running its so quiet,My old big generator was a Honda 5000 this Robin engine on colman (and other brands)puts hondas to shame,yep the orange store,Honda is waaaay over priced for what ya get.but I still would like one.just cant justify that much money for that little power!

Ahh.. where can I buy an Inverter/Generator thats just as quiet as Honda, puts out 9 H.P. @ 5650 watts and has a low oil shut-off for under $600 bucks??? What model machine is this?

[sparcebag]

I just had to look in the garage I was wrong!! its a 6560 colman powermate 6500 watts 9 hp Robin Suburu engine.6000 running watts 6500 max.go to home depot.I purchased it with their spring sales at 200.00 off I think I payed less than 600.00.6500 watts is a bit more than then 54 amps,I wanted for home when power goes out in winter to power the furnace that has eletronic ignition,but can run most the house with it and working on a lot that has no elec.soon to build a house.but If ya pull a huge Iceshack out on the ice why not have MOREPOWER!!

L & M fleet supply in Grand Rapids has the Honda eu200i for 809 and the 1000 for 649. Every 7 decibels doubles the volume

At 151 Lbs. I'd need a team of oxen to pull that out on the ice , no thanks, I'll settle for a compact & lightweight EU Honda any day of the week. That coleman runs about 70dB, which is twice as loud as the Honda EU, and the coleman doesn't have a pure sine inverter built in.

I would like to say thanks to all you guys for helping with my post. I just bought the honda eu2000i at l&m fleet in park rapids for $809. They matched the price that Grand Rapids had on theirs. Filled out a Credit card app and received another $50 dollars off. They are fantastic people to deal with.

Gotta love Gander Mountain!

In this week's Outdoor news there was an ad for a Honda EU2000i for $819. So, for the heck of it, I decided to see if GM would price match, even though I bought it over 30 days ago and the ad was for a place in Grand Rapids.... Well, they did!
