Honda 2200 Generator vs Ryobi 2300 Generator

[@jaydensimmons4637]

Hard to beat a Honda EU2000 generator. I've had mine for 17 years with no problems. I live off grid and use it to charge batts when solar is low. I use Mobil 1 with 20% Lucas oil and change about once per month. No smoke, always starts.

[@bluemouse5039]

For me, The Ryobi would be more than good enough, I just want something for emergency power at home during a outage, might only use it one or two times a year or maybe not at all, and with that type of light usage that Ryobi would last me many years , and paying twice as much for the Honda would be over kill, One thing to note on the Honda, if you decided after a few years that you no longer needed a generator , you could get almost 3/4 of the original price , and it would be a easy sell because people are always on the look out for these when they come up for sale , while you will be lucky to get 200 dollars for the Ryobi and almost have to give it away.

[@papajo7316]

There is no replacement for displacement. The Honda engine is 41cc larger so there is no way for the Ryobi to out perform the Honda. The Ryobi is half the cost because you are getting half as much engine. There is no way that the Ryobi can handle the same load as the Honda. Anybody who knows engines know this. Honda is number one for a reason. I will keep my Honda’s.

[@bigpatty823]

The price difference just isn't there to justify it though. If we were talking $200 then maybe, but the fact is you can nearly get two Ryobi's for the price of the Honda.

[@OggaDugga]

@@bigpatty823 agreed to an extent. However in the long run, how many Ryobis will you go through to the point you could’ve just gotten one Honda and never had to worry again.

[@baivabmitra376]

This is really, really old school mentality. It's not anymore 1960s. The Ryobi's engine is built with substantially better technological advancements to account for the 40 cc difference you're quoting. Actually having owned a Honda I can confidently say there were times when Honda struggled to kick start my portable 14,000 BTU AC whereas till date Ryobi has not failed once. [I have Ryobi parallel kit but for this statement I am doing 1:1 comparison]

[@filoIII]

That's my concern buying one of these other brands. It's like buying a v-6 turbo to do the same work as a v-8 naturally aspirated. The v-8 will last WAY longer, but I'm not gonna be running a generator but a few times per yr. idk.

[@tracymacdonald4598]

My Honda is 10 years old and still running strong

[@fishermen8232]

I have the Ryobi 2300. Best inverter generator I've ever owned. The app alone is worth going with Ryobi. I bought my RYI2300 right after my brother purchased his Honda 2000. I've put 200+ hours on mine with no issues at all. His has half the hours and he's already had to take it in for servicing due to it surging and shutting off randomly. Do you always get what you pay for? 🤔

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for the information. We love the app for the Ryobi also. Personally I (Sam) sold my Honda and use the Ryobi. Richard has the new Honda’s.

[@fishermen8232]

@@BackcountryLife yup! Honda are great. I have an old Honda open frame genny will a million hours kn it. I'm hoping ryobi comes out with a 3000 watt inverter like the Honda EU3000. Would be nice to have juuuust a little more power for our RV.

[@BackcountryLife]

I’m interested to see how long the Ryobis will last. The price of the Ryobi is hard to beat. I wonder if they will do a 3000 remote start haha.

[@redcanyonoutdoorquest6220]

Answer to how long the Ryobi will last: I bought one in 2012 on short notice up in northern Minnesota because it was all I could find. I figured at that price, if I got a year out of it, I’d be ok with that. Oh, I use it for RV camping. I also figured I’d get another one later on to parallel them for running the ac. Later that winter I was working in Missouri and the RV Park I was in lost all power one night due to a heavy ice storm. I fired up the ryobi and was fine. Power was out there for 3 days. I filled the ryobi 4 times over a 24 hour period and it ran for 3 days without stopping until we got power back on. Not a hiccup. I used it around once a month when I’d take the trailer camping (32 foot Laredo 5th wheel). It couldn’t handle the ac so I bought a parallel box that Home Depot sells for it. Once a year I’d have it serviced at a small engine repair place. I’d always put Staybill in my gas. That’s VERY important for small engines. Two years ago I bought 2 Hondas and gave the ryobi to a friend with a camp trailer and he’s still using it. I’d put them on par with the Honda’s any day.

[@fishermen8232]

@@redcanyonoutdoorquest6220 I had the original 2200 model. I put hundreds of hours on it and ran it in all kinds of weather. Started up every time. I bought the new 2300 with the Bluetooth tech and ended giving my old one to my bro-in-law about a year ago. It's still running good and he doesn't take care of it like I did. Strong little genny for sure.

[@deerinmyyard8430]

The Companion is not the "brain" unit when paralleling a pair of Hondas. The Companion simply has a 30 amp twist lock plug on it, an it includes an adapter for an RV 30 amp plug. THat's the ONLY difference between the Companion and standard EU2200i. You can parallel two non companion models together - you don't NEED one of them to be a companion model.

[@filoIII]

You can use a Honda 2200 and a Predator 5000 paralleled together?

[@redcanyonoutdoorquest6220]

FYI, you can get the two standard model Honda’s and use the same parallel box that the ryobi uses.

[@BackcountryLife]

Really? We will have to try it.

[@redcanyonoutdoorquest6220]

That’s actually what I’m using now. I got an extra one with my Ryobi and use it with my Hondas

[@skipwavedx5151]

I don't know, the Ryobi gens decal was already falling off, I saw that just before he turned it around so it was in the back.It would be nice to know the comparisons of engine size and warranty, etc.

[@BackcountryLife]

haha yeah the decals don't really matter to us and to be honest the Ryobi's have seen way more action then the Honda's. Both are solid generators. We plan on doing more in-depth reviews on these generators. THANK YOU for the feedback

So it's the same size as my chainsaw engine. Do you have to mix oil into the gas?

[@BackcountryLife]

No they are 4 stroke motors not 2 strokes.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Planned obsolescence. First, the labels fall off one by one, then the display starts winking out, thereafter the controls go wonky, finally the plastic melts from excess heat. Eventually you go back to Home Depot and purchase another one.

[@Auburn-wl7eu]

I have the Ryobi 2200 generator it is good price was fair, than the 2300 came out the price went up and it has extras I do no need, so I shopped around for another generator.

Which generator did you end up getting?

[@michaelshin69]

Are you sure about Honda gas cap at off when you start? I thought you turn to off when not operating

[@BackcountryLife]

Yeah. I was told that by the Honda Dealership that sold me the generator. Not sure if that really matters or not to be honest.

[@terryedmond4492]

Gravity fed fuel supply is never pressurized. You open the vent so it will drain into the carb floatbowl. Leaving the vent closed while placing it into the sun could add a little pressure, but you open the vent to relieve the vacuum so the fuel will drain. Gas caps without a vent switch have a tiny opening that can evaporate, but it's miniscule, unless tipped over. A vent switch won't leak gas when tipped while not being used in the garage.

[@BackcountryLife]

Terry Edmond thank you for the explanation!

[@OscarMartinez-qy6qk]

Hii 1 question, do you think the switch bottom that turns the generator off, you think this also shoot the gas off?? Or it's just a electrical function that just cut the electricity to turning it off?? I'm wondering because I'm thinking about how can I shoot off the gas before it would turned it off completely (in order to run it dry and avoid bad gas stick in the carburator)

[@BackcountryLife]

It shuts the gas off as well.

[@Wavefront101]

@@BackcountryLife Point is you want to shut the gas off and keep the gen running to clear the fuel out of the lines. I don't think the electronic shut off feature does this on any gen.

Main difference is 1 will work flawlessly and last u a very long time the other will be thrown in the trash a lot sooner than u were expecting. Believe me I know. If u want a good generator spend the money and buy Honda.

[@jimdent351]

Did you notice how the decal fell off the Ryobi the moment he picked it up and moved it? If Ryobi couldn't put enough thought into how tho make a lasting adhesive to hold on the stickers, how are we to put faith in the longevity into what matters? It's Honda for me now! Prior to the label falling off, you can see him trying to hold it in place. Ryobi you fail! 2:50

Turning off the gas tank vent to pressurize for starting? Lol never heard of that are these gas tanks not above carburetor for gravity feeding the fuel?

[@edwardroche2480]

So like which one makes the most noise which one is the most expensive to get worked on and which one lasts the longest without maintenance? I got a Ryobi the plastic knob that chokes it and turns it on and off stripped out within a month. The gas tank filter are over the top of the electric circuit board which is on the bottom of the generator and exposed. Very tight to get in there and check the wire fittings. The Ryobi generator has a webbed plastic bottom with a couple of holes drilled in the middle. Water or gasoline collect all around that hole with no way to drain out almost touching the bottom of the circuit board. I've had one less than a year and it work great for a month or two oh, and you know and it started stalling out and now I'm waiting on parts. An electric module that controls the engine carburetor. Don't know why it burned out. But it doesn't accelerate when I plug in my refrigerator. They want $569 for one and I wouldn't give you 200.

It not just Ryobi inverters, but Generac and other Chinese made inverters as well. They seem to have more problems such as blowing inverter boards. Very costly to fix, usually not economical to do so. Seldom if ever do I work on Honda’s, except for fuel/carb related issues. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki gensets superior to all else. Generac has gone down hill in recent years. The Predator line of generators and inverters from Harbor Freight are the best value out these. Good pricing, decent quality. Still nothing’s better than a Honda Yamaha Kawasaki.

[@onetwothree4148]

@@Mikesorrento3344 doesn't the predator use weird Chinese spark plugs? Have you seen the Wen and Raineer inverters? They review well on Amazon, are cheaper than the predators (or have more power for the same price) and have much better warranties. Genuinely asking. Thanks

[@Mikesorrento3344]

All I can say is what I’ve said. Wen, Ryobi, Generac, and the other Chinese brands are not as reliable. Not saying they are bad though.

Are y'all salesmen or are y'all at Lowe's hardware store? I mean honestly, this is what I learned when I go to Lowes y'all not going to crank him up or or tell me how it's going to run with a load or anyting. What was the purpose of this video? I mean one of these kind of cute, but other than that, I don't know. Peace out

[@cd1168]

Horrible. Some of the biggest scammers are those that “sell” a green life. Pos’

When snowboarders review generators...

[@BackcountryLife]

haha

[@pbaylis1]

Plug some tools in and lets see what it can do!

[@thomas4315]

Kroon..... boom boom......Not bad quiet. Vroom... room... rom ...boom ...boom. Not as quiet as the other guy. 1 st guy win LOL

[@SteveSearches]

I found more useful information in the comments.

Skip to 7:58... you're welcome

[@elcreador6675]

Excelente 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🌎

[@rafiqally3347]

at 2.01 the ryobi guy zones out.....

[@LoganEversole]

I know right? 🤣 that guy needs to work on his attention span. 😁

[@photonashville]

I can read specs myself. Start the damn things, run them, compare quietness, test appliances running, how much gas do they actually use, any differences in maitenance. You need to step up. 8 minute video telling us nothing new.

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for the feedback

[@chutch332]

Hilarious!! That Ryobi 80cc engine won't product 2300 watts on a good day! The Honda’s larger 121cc engine actually produces the power it claims. Ryobi struggled to produce a constant 1600 watts with their old 2000 watt model with a tiny 80cc engine. Magically it can now produce 2300 peak & 1800 running with the same scrawny 80cc engine? -Laughable! Sorry to be critical, but people should know they are being misled (not by Backcountry, but by Ryobi). Icing on the cake was at 2:57 when the sticker peels off the gen. Even the labels are crappy!! LOL Do an actual load test on each gen & you’ll find out why you pay more for the Honda. -Compare the engine size & actual performance, not the sticker’s rating.

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for your input.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Not magically. They added a turbocharger to that 80cc engine. Next level up adds a supercharger and the highest model has nitrous. Ryobi is ahead of the game. Pfffttt.. 🤣🤣

[@vangyimleejyaaj4707]

Shit..The ryobi watts sticker is falling apart already ...guy stay away from the ryobi I bought for 2 hour n return immediately....

[@popcorn3149]

Please make another video and delete this one; we usually search these kind of videos to learn how loud they are, not just to get a description of what it is and how it works.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

True that.

[@ABXPONCE]

Obviously you are bought by Ryobi. First of all who wants an USB adapter outside? Who cares about the Digital thing about a Generator. And... What about Warranty? I Bought the Honda EU2200i it is the best Generator on market. Bullet Proof. I live in a Hurricane island as a year basis. Honda is Honda.

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for your input.

[@trosky7777]

VS? i think you meant Victoria Secret. Because ya'll only talked about Cosmetics.

[@BackcountryLife]

Hahah great comment

[@jonnylowkon]

Let the generators do the talking running loads... damn this was a really bad review

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for the feedback

[@richt8297]

An extra $200 for an outlet. Shame on you Honda.

[@justingraham7387]

An extra $200 for what outlet !what the fuck are you cooking ? Ya if that cheap ass generator don't work correctly your going to steal the battery and dump it out and try to smoke it !! Tweaker tweaker !!!

[@codered6458]

i have both and if the ryobi had not been given to me i would throw it in the trash lol

[@brentjones9961]

Seriously don't know how you blokes can compare Honda to Ryobi, ridiculous comparison

[@BackcountryLife]

Haha just comparing what we got.

[@PithyBikes]

They didn’t run either machine.

[@richt8297]

8 minutes of waisted time. Keep going guys you’ll get better

[@BackcountryLife]

That was one of our first videos. Thanks for the feedback

[@MSotelo503]

Isn't Ryobi powered by Honda?

[@patricktheplumber5482]

Guy In Black and white plaid shirt looks like Dierks Bentley

[@BackcountryLife]

Lol, I didn't know who that was but I looked him up and I definitely see the resemblance :)

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Any channel trying to sell me a Ryobi anything is blocked permanently. Buh bye.

[@del-boysnostalgiatvads7416]

Honda all the way,👌…… Ryobi your a joke🤣

[@jackietreehorn2144]

Lol Honda has the generator game locked down. Why even try.

[@vrr2201]

That Cryobi quality huh!

[@bryanpaull2020]

Did I miss something there ..🙄

[@charlconradie4935]

How about testing them ? Real world applications? This video means nothing.

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for your input

[@charlconradie4935]

@@BackcountryLife People that look at generators want numbers (tested) and performance. Sort of like a car review. Ryobi is shit and people need to know that even if it costs 10 bucks, its still 10 bucks thrown in the water. Even here in South Africa, where we live in a 3rd world shit-hole, people would not buy anything with a Ryobi petrol engine

[@eduardofernandez5217]

I think his is the first thumbs down I give since KZbin was invented

[@BackcountryLife]

Thanks for your input this was meant to be an introduction video. We plan on doing a more in-depth review of both the generators.

[@filoIII]

Ryobi put toooooo many doodads w/ theirs. Like Hyudai and Kia. Try to be tooo cute. Just stick that money into making the thing run forever.

[@nealdavin3883]

Literally some of the stupidest stuff I've ever heard it say gravity fed carbureted generator

[@BackcountryLife]

Yeah, we hear you. That was one of the first videos we did and not our best work.

[@solrwavz]

the Ryobi is junk it constantly stalls and gets overloaded doesn't get more than 1200 watts before overloading. not recommended at all.

[@donhummel6630]

Geez ... I don't know if you realized it but you had your hat on backwards the whole time. How embarassing!

[@OctavMandru]
