Common questions
EU3000iS or EU3200i?
Both are quiet, RV-capable inverter generators. The EU3200i adds the Honda My Generator app with Bluetooth. Ask us to compare them for you.
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.
