Common questions
Can it run my whole house?
It can power a wide range of home appliances, but not everything at once. Add up the wattage you need and ask us to help you size it.
Is it safe to run?
Never run a generator indoors, in a garage or near windows. That’s why every model here includes Honda’s CO-MINDER carbon monoxide detection, which shuts the generator down automatically if CO levels near it become dangerously high.
