Honda EU3200i Inverter Generator - NEW and AWESOME

[@smileyionut4604]

I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@Asidebar]

Ive had 11 Honda vehicles, A Honda Lawnmower, and now have 4 Honda Portable Generators all have been wonderful.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they make great machines!

[@annmariekowalski7505]

This presentation was very informative. Cleared up a few questions for us. Our first exposure to the Honda generator was four years ago when new water mains were installed under our street. The water table was high. The contractor dug a hole in front of the house, and a Honda generator powered a sump pump for the entire summer. it was beat up by the end of the job, but it still ran, and it was very quiet.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they are good machines.

[@stevenmcintosh3303]

Nice unit. I have the older Honda 3000iS model and it runs like a champ. So quiet and always starts right up when I need it.

[@MJF40]

Me too. Better run time and running watts. For none mobile use it's a no brainer

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great!

[@tpctrash]

One thing I think all generators need is a place to chain them for security. The handle can be just cut off on the plastic case ones. Super nice generator!! Thanks to your son for sharing!

[@iffykidmn8170]

could always fire it up connect the grinder cut thru any chains cables etc.😉

Fast flying lead works too.

[@waynetharp]

Burning wood during a power outage is always best!👍 Can't ever go wrong with a Honda and congrats on the unit! I have a generator safety transfer switch right beside the breaker box. Am able to plug the cord from the generator outside and run all the essentials in the house. Water, heat, freezers, fridges, and select lights/outlets. Sure beats having extension cords ran all over the house with doors/window cracked for cord access.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice, I am moving in!

[@waynetharp]

@In The Woodyard Sure can...We have 3 bedrooms empty so if you hurry. You can get one closest to the stove!🤠

[@haroldanderson2781]

I have a love hate relationship when your son geeks out on a product. He describes it so well it turns a want into a need like the last tool kit he showed when installing your brake controller.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he is very good!

[@shelley131]

Great presentation, and great generator. I had a 2200I Honda during the freeze we had in Texas and shortly afterwards bought a second the companion for redundancy and more power when connecting them in parallel. During the freeze I already had a 2KW "solar generator" along with the Honda which saved our bacon since we lost power for more than a week. The solar generator was great until we had no sun for several days and the Honda generator would charge my solar generator in about 2 hours since it was pure sine wave . This allowed me to save the fuel for the Honda's because I would run it for a couple of hours until my solar generator would be fully charged since it is able to handle 1800 watts input from AC. This became crucial since all gas stations were inoperable due to power not being available to run the pumps. After the freeze I decided to convert both generators to propane. It became tedious running the generators every 2 months to make sure the fuel would not clog the carburetor which it did even though I would empty the fuel and used non-ethanol fuel . Converting to propane was expensive with the propane kits costing $300 but very well worth it since propane can be stored for years without going bad. Best part if you run out of propane you can always add gasoline to continue running it. Redundancies are a good thing, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, sounds like you are prepared!

[@philliphall5198]

I had two for my house and 4 repaired units for sale Sold it all and kept the one I was using Folks need to wake up and get a generator before it happens to them

[@Josephine-sm2db]

Looks like you had all your bases covered.

[@thangdinh2012]

Just bought this and love it

[@InTheWoodyard]

Awesome!

[@erikowren7894]

I got the Honda 2000 inverter 10 years ago. Very handy to have. I also have a whole house transfer switch with a 7500. Much easier then running all the cords. Just can’t run the big loads. An oven and stove for me. Powers my well pump just fine, but you have to make sure your wired correctly for it. Still keep the Honda 2000 for other emergencies. Mostly camping, remote projects, events, lend to family.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds like a good set up!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Being prepared is always a good thing.. my dad has an industrial diesel generator on stand-by for when power goes out..

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he is a smart man, when the power goes out everywhere I am moving in with him!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@In The Woodyard : I will let him know. They do have an extra room so that shouldn't be a problem. 🤣🤣

[@sebasstuff8847]

Your son is smart dude!! Great having both a gas generator and power station with solar panels. I have a Ryobi 8500W that I can run most of the house with and I just got a Bluetti 800W that’s awesome.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very cool! Bluetti has approached me also.

[@Gregcanada1]

Chris, I would jump at the offer from Bluetti, unless there are strings attached. They are good units. Both my kids have EB3A’s. They make some monster units which power wise exceed my $5K batter bank

[@richardanderson6874]

Very nice review, just bought one myself yesterday. I hope that there are plenty of Honda dealers just across the border from California, in Nevada and Oregon. 😀

When you live north of 8 in Wisconsin you need a whole home generator as the power goes out a lot. My Kohler blew up after 4 days of running but my electrician had me up and running in 5 hours on a Sunday with a new 20 K Cummings/Onan, can't beat that service! Great video Chris!

[@rogercyr1551]

I had an EU3000 for my 5th wheel 37' RV, and it was great! I loved it! Unfortunately, I could not use it for my rural property, because it doesn't generate 240V; it won't run my water pump, so that's a showstopper for me. Got a 7800 watt generator as a "whole house" solution, it handles everything except for the electric oven, which is a non-issue on an emergency use basis. The setup has been in place for years, electronics don't seem bothered.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds like a great set up!

[@eleventy-seven]

Must be very old. My EU3000i has 2 120s 1 240 and a 12v. Unfortunately the ethanol they add to our gas has messed up the carb and its ready for A teardown.

[@FirewoodfromtheSawmill]

Gotta love Honda!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Looks like a great new Honda quiet generator. We have had our Honda camp generator (EU3000is) for over 10 years. It’s amazing - quiet and reliable. But this new 3200 is much smaller and lighter. I do wonder though - the 3000 has 23.3 amp output plug for the camper. I wonder why the 3200 has a lower amp output rating on that RV plug.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for sharing!

[@berettaguy7445]

That plug is a 30 amp-capable plug (like on your 3000), however the running watts on the 3200 are only 2600, or 21.7 amps. That's why it says that.

[@savagefirewood]

Good day Chris and Bryce. Excellent video! You can’t go wrong with purchasing anything Honda you’re going to pay for it but you get quality. 27 years ago I bought my first Honda and still drive one today. If I were to buy an inverter or generator, it would be a Honda. Cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

Excelllant video. Makes my Honda eu3000i look like a tank. I use my 3000i almost every day this time off year as solar is limited. If the 3200i had a larger gas tank and electric start i’d probably get one. I have other “portable” generators (Yamaha, Polaris, Firman). The portability is great but they are a pain to do service on. Oh no I called my Honda dealer and he has 2 in stock.

[@gregggwidt110]

Looks like a great generator especially for the weight and sound! I wish more truck manufacturers, especially in the 3/4 ton market would put out some higher watt generator options. I got the 7,200 watt generator powerboost hybrid f150 primarily to run my camper A/C and house in power outages and is a beast and also super handy in the winter when the sun goes down in WI can activate zone lighting and work 24/7. I think it was around a 3K upgrade compared to standard F150 but would be great to see in a super duty and per watt and noise no difference in price than some of the highest grade generators in my opinion.

Smart choice! I'm surprised you don't have an inverter and solar with a natural gas or gas powered back generator, some of the techy guys on here review solar and power inverters, they have some pretty impressive set ups. Some cost in the tens of thousands but you can have a back up that will run most to all of your house for less, depends on the system you get. For @6-7k you can back up all the important things like furnace, fridge/freezers, well pumps and sumps. If you set them up correctly you can run some things off of batteries and charge them when the other appliances aren't running. Technology is moving really fast now! It's passed us old guys up quick.

cool having your son Brice in todays video showcasing the generator. Nice little generator. i have a champion 9375 dual fuel gen that doesn't quite run everything. most of the house, water heater or the well pump, not both. i'll be getting a whole house 24 kw in the beginning of Feb. these power sub station attacks got me thinking what if. Plus, i live on the Chesapeake Bay and we often get some heavy storms with strong winds and the power lines come down. worst case was during one of the hurricanes, we were without power 10 days. in those items that require gas, I've switched over to nonethanol for everything. i got tired of gummed up carbs. i love Honda motors. i replaced my splitters motor this year, a Briggs and Stratton with a a Honda GX. best move ever. great engines. one pull and its running. what are the comments below about honda leaving the US small engine market. So could you cross the California state line and buy it then bring it back?.....😂 😂

My tip would be cross the California state line and keep going.

[@foxlake6750]

[@schwarz6337]

I think it's worth mentioning that an inverter generator doesn't need to run at 3600 RPM to maintain the 60 Hz frequency of the output. I believe that when in ECO mode it will run at a reduced speed and only throttle up as the connected electrical load(s) are increased.

Great unit. But I was told to start generator and shutdown them. To have no plugged items in .also when starting and shut down run the generator at full power for a minute or so . Then shut down. I do have the 6 gallon auxiliary tank. It works great. I only run 91 octane. Non ethanol gas only. Change oil every 100 hrs .

[@donaldslate4195]

I also did change the dip stick with a magnetic one. Boy that pics up the fillings in the oil. Think is adds life to the engine.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice! Thanks for the tips!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good idea!

[@flhtru1464]

It should be for sale in CA, use it in the trunk of the Tesla for backup when you can’t find a place to charge or wait for 3 hours in line for a charging station.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! That is a good one!!!!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nicely electrified video. Fossil fuel electricity that will keep the beer cold in summer and heat on in winter. Always nice to be able to power tools, etc. when grid power is not available. Will they put you in jail if you operate one of these in CA? Asking for a friend who is afraid that the ground will shake some day. GNI

Tell your friend to leave while he can.

Will buy 2 Champion Power Equipment 200987 4500-Watt RV Ready Portable Inverter Generator, Wireless Remote Start with this money. Still have a balance of $640.

Yup, but they are not HONDAS.

Yup, it does not happen often!

1. Commiefornia can figure out thier own backup. Maybe avocado powered prius/tesla backup systems?

Haaaaa!

You do know Honda is leaving the US Market in their Small Equipment.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is bad if true.

[@rickthelian2215]

@@InTheWoodyard this year they will exit the US Market

[@foxlake6750]

I believe they stop producing lawn mowers by the end of the year.

[@thomasmoxham1242]

Honda announced they are stopping production of their gas lawn mower line of products. Honda has stated it “will continue to sell the remainder of its lawn and garden product line and industrial-type power products such as GX engines, generators, and water pumps, and continue to support its service and parts operations in the U.S. market.”

[@rickthelian2215]

@@thomasmoxham1242 blame it on California EPA, Honda Will be in Europe and the South Pacific like Australia where I’m from, but to be honest it won’t be long before you have no option but to go battery. Looking at Bunnings (Large Box Store in Australia) just the other day there’s not much to choose from in fuel models of any gas powered mower from Honda and our own Victa Brand which Briggs & Stratton brought a few years back, you can’t buy budget anymore $500+. I see in videos you don’t have $99 budget mowers anymore they are $300+nowadays 😢

Doesn't take a bomb blast to knock out electrical products in your home. Readiness and adaptability. Polytechnics eliminates the need for electric grids by using biometric energy and isn't effected when damaged, burned or exposed to radiation

[@InTheWoodyard]

If radiation is an issue, we have much bigger problems.

Maybe, that is my 16-18 hour a day work time of year!

[@Asidebar]

why not just turn it off for refill with gas? Only takes few minutes.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, you can do that. Many people get auxiliary tanks so they can run non stop.

[@glenludwig9676]

Apparently no one taught you how to use a pull start cord. You never pull the cord till you have pulled it out tight. If you do not tighten the cord first you are putting stress on all rewind components and they will wear faster and also break.

[@InTheWoodyard]

okay

[@csingle35]

There’s always gotta be that know it all guy busting your chops about hot to pull a cord in the message center. Not saying he’s not correct but Every time like clockwork there that dude that has to throw in his 2 cents on the message board. Thanks guy 😂

[@wstadlock]

After breaking my 1st cord, I learned not to keep pulling till the end. Never broke one again, but my eu3200i wore very fast 6-8 in. from handle. Now Gen is cutting out, running irregular 1300. Hrs

[@wilsoneashoian5789]

If Honda makes one that is dual fuels, they can sell it in California.

[@InTheWoodyard]

okay
