Honda EU2200i vs Briggs & Stratton P2200 Sound Comparison

Sound Comparison Without Charge

[@dwestemberger9060]

I have the B&S use it for 3 consecutive months after hurricane Maria hit PR ,for a refrigerator, 3 LED TV,2 PS4 , cable box and some lights for 6 hours in a gallon tank.awesome machine

[@jameswkndmechanic174]

I was hoping someone would make a side-by-side video like this, so thank you! You can hear the Honda is quieter, but the B&S is 1/2 the $$ of the Honda. I've heard Honda is good quality. I have a 1 y/o B&S P2200. So far, some rattles, but works good. Also have a B&S lawnmower which is 10 years old. The mower body/frame rusted & had to be replaced, but the motor starts every time! Never burns oil.

[@luisbenitez3428]

Mister without a sound meter you cannot distinguish which one is quieter

[@lindseywalker6925]

If you can't tell the difference then they're the same.

[@lomex_1417]

highly recommend this purchase!

[@lindseywalker6925]

The big difference between these two is about $600..... sorry Honda but B&S has ALWAYS put out a good motor. I got my P2200 for $600, shipped

[@tommytmt]

Honda sounds a lot better and quieter @0:22 @0:34 for Honda without and with eco throttle respectively and @1:16 @1:24 for the Briggs. Click on them quickly back and forth to hear the real differences.

[@mark_barrentine]

Agree, also the sound frequency seemed lower (Honda) which makes it less annoying to the ears. Did anyone else notice the very slight uneven running (RPM) of the B &S for when eco mode was on or off?

[@Timothyis]

Thank you. I just found a great deal on a BNS. Any information is helpful to me thanks so much

[@Bajaheat]

The Briggs will be silent in 4 years while the Honda won’t

[@Tintoycar]

I have a Honda 536 HRD lawnmower from 1996, starts every time on first pull :-) Looks like it comes out of a war zone :-)

[@obliviontoawakening4442]

So, you are saying the Briggs will be Dead

[@AD17709]

Honda is better overall

[@maxracingteam23]

How has the Briggs held up? I want to get the b&s Q6500 for camping.

[@Timothyis]

That's the point! ;)

[@elbanieves41]

B&S cost half the price of the Honda, for a few db more or less worst it. I can buy 2 B&S,

[@peetieyou]

Why not show the level of decibels for each using a sound level meter ?

[@lindseywalker6925]

You're suppose to be listening

[@gabrielathero]

The B&S rattles a lot.

[@michaelvickers89]

Honda is way quieter

[@lindseywalker6925]

Honda is double in price as well. They're both about 65 decibils

[@wb2194]

Sorry, this tells you nothing really. I am an industrial hygienist and a certified hearing conservationist. Without a sound level meter you can't definitively determine which is louder. Additionally if you want to get down to it a sound level meter with an octave band analyzer will be more definitive.

[@topryder4everforceariders52]

Maybe sometimes its just the tone of the noise that makes a difference. I would prefer a lower tone but louder dB rather than a higher tone with lower dB.

[@johnvoin4455]

Yes you can

[@sanseiryu]

If you can't hear the difference between the two especially on eco mode then you have hearing problems. The Honda is far quieter, you don't need a sound meter to tell. I'm impressed. I also can't afford the Honda so I would just build a cheap sound suppression barrier with fiberglass to dampen the noise of the noisy generator. Far less expensive option.

[@tonyglasstv2685]

Own one - Noisy as F*** spent more time in repair shop, just stops starting...

[@carloscasiquearauco2883]

El honda suena menos

[@dunnoyolo2238]

Is the Briggs quieter than the A-ipower 2000w generator ?

[@chivosadventures8171]

It's about the same if you have the AiPower with the Yamaha engine then the AiPower is as quiet as the Honda.

[@dunnoyolo2238]

A-ipower turned out to be junk went into overload mode and never recovered returned and bought a Firman way better option

[@jeansoleilbernard3144]

Hahahaha
