Great review! The one thing I don't like is the price. You could get the two 2200i generators for less than the 3200i costs and hook them together. Less money and more power.
...a lot more power. As well as the versatility of running one or both, depending on your needs. I agree; the price really doesn't make a whole lot of sense for 2600 running watts.
EU3200 has fuel injection that’s a big plus plus fuel gauge. I have the EU2200 Companion but the EU3200 is the best way to go if you need that extra power. Great Review
What year is the Sprite on the far right? I had a 1961, blue with white conv. top. Back to the gen, lol.. I wish they came with propane capability. Conversion kit would add another $300 to this.
I have had a Honda 2000 for many years. I use it around the property and keep it with a nice lil air compressor in the truck. It works fine and will run my AC and refrigerator and some random lights along with water pump in my Grand Design fifthwheel camper just fine. At night while sleeping it will purr all night on idle keeping the refrigerator and as many fans as we want humming along. In cold weather camping it will run the furnace or ceramic heaters or both all night. No need for AC all night. It is great to run power tools , charge dewalt batteries cell phone batteries run string trimmers charge car battery batteries a whole bunch of things and super light and handy. I will never switch from the 2000. As you demonstrated no one thing was over 2000 watts so I can deal just fine.
No battery but yes has a fuel pump, in fact even the old EU line of generators also have fuel pumps. Because they have fuel pumps you can easily get them to run off extended run fuel tanks.
I would assume it would run better on bad gas than the old version. If something went wrong with it you probably are not fixing it unless you had a spare for parts.
@2:58 you might want to double check this info, I do not believe you can parallel the new 3200 with the old 2000's. I did a brief check but you might want to double check, I don't think it's right. The EU3200i manual states do not connect the 3200i to any other type of generator. I know the EU2200i could only be connected to other 2200i's and a select few eu2000i's that were made after a certain date. Just wanted to give a heads up.
That information is not correct they just don’t want people doing it if you don’t know what you are doing you can even pair three or more together but you will never see that in the manual.
@@ThisWeekWithCars Well that is fantastic info. Interesting how the manual specifically forbids it, but good to know otherwise. That RPod camper on the LMTV is sweet, by the way.
There's no reason to use the 12 volt output unless it's an absolute emergency. A tiny 120 volt battery charger will provide substantially more power to charge your batteries than the native 12v ever did.
I've been reading about A LOT of starting problems with this fuel injected generator tending to flood very easily, especially in northern climates. Many bad reviews on Honda's site, all with this same problem. Apparently the way to clear the flooded condition is to turn the switch to OFF, and then pull the recoil several times to clear out the engine.
@@StrongManMattt The last information by email-contact was that as soon as the 32i would be available they would get one and develop the corresponding kit for it. No idea regarding the timeline for that.
The Honda EU series are a good unit that’s for sure. A bit too dear for my liking though. I bought a cheaper generator which I am yet to fire up. If it lasts, great. If not, then I accept I did buy a cheap one and might pony up for the Honda EU. Time will tell for me.
@@ThisWeekWithCars 2.0kW. I have a combination of solar, three batteries and now the generator. I am preparing for when I sell my off-road camper trailer and upgrade to what we in Australia call a "hybrid" van. It will also be an off-road type with air-con, toilet/shower, solar, inverter etc etc. I am wanting to retire in 6 years time. If the generator lasts, then good, if not then I will buy a Honda. I will buy a larger one than 2.0kW when I do if I need a larger one.
Their research must have shown that almost nobody was using it. I don't think I ever used mine. If I needed to charge a battery I plugged in a proper battery charger.
I used to use an Epson ET-2550 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-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.
So, Honda has been fuel injecting their cars since sometime in the 80's, but a carburetor has been on their generators all along? I guess there is a lot of competition in the generator market and FI was too expensive, but it has been a long time coming.
I have a six gallon external fuel tank that I use with these generators, just replace the cap with one with a hose on it that connects to your external tank.
Honda 2200 has 120 engine this one has 130. Horsepower is torque * RPM. So…what is the runtime at 400 watts (about 0.5 HP) steady for each. And yes an external tank is very handy. How does this gen make more HP (watts) with nearly same displacement engine as 2200i? More torque or RPM?
It's a great genset 8 out of 10 🌟 . But it's not an electric remote start. Still a pain in the ass to go outside in the cold and pull start it. It would have gotten 10 out of 10 if it had an electric remote start from my phone
I know it seems obvious but I do think you should mention the danger of running these things without ventilation. A local family here in the UK killed their son by using one in the basement when there were floods . A petrol powered pump I assume. These days you can’t make assumptions about general knowledge.
He doesn't have to mention anything. All generator sets in the united states' come with carbon monoxide sensors that shut off the gen set if a situation occurs where idiots kill others or themselves with exhaust fumes like the case you mentioned. No reliability goes down, cost of generators goes up, for something pretty obvious. Millions of people have been using them since the 60's, and it's extremely rare people are stupid enough to kill themselves with them. If so, usually done purposely per statistics here in the states.
Yes, and perhaps he should mention the dangers of going outside in 22 degree weather without a jacket, or drinking the gasoline he's using to fuel the generator. Where does it end? If running an internal combustion engine indoors sounds like a good idea to somebody, they most certainly should not own a generator to begin with.
@@jmljml5065 I was brought up with “common sense is the least common thing” ringing in my ears! Was it not your country where someone took McDonalds to court because the coffee was too hot to balance in your lap? It is surprising that people take drugs and smoke and drink to excess but they do. Some you cannot help.
But this new generator has 20 hours on it After it sets for a few days or a week it will not start because it floods every time. Dealer told me to just take the spark plug out and put in a dry one . And pull the cord 20 to30 times to clear it.EFI stand for eliminate fuel injection. This is a real pain in my butt I wish I would have never bought it.
Do a search on youtube, you can pair different models, you can even pair as many as you want together, many people are doing three and even with all three different models.
or $3,259 Candian Money, seams really over priced for even a Honda, that has no electric start. Come on Honda ! how about a remote start. Sad, does it really cost 2X as much do produce this generator. ?
we get bent over in Canada with pretty much anything we purchase and this is no different. just picked one up for 3600 13% taxes in..more for Justin and his cronies to piss away
bruh the whole idea of the 3200 is to be lightweight how tf you gonna be lightweight with electric starter and battery added on… then your just reproducing the eu3000 with a smaller gas tank
Agreed efi has way more to break and diagnosing without the software can be a pain. If you put ethanol free and run a carb outta gas when your storing it you will never have issues and it will start easy every time.
Sometimes technology is good but my generator is supposed to be there for me when technology fails, so therefore i just want gravity fed fuel,nice little generator but i will stick to my Eu30is for a while
There are other models with carb. Efi is certainly better than any carb . More fuel efficient, more reliable & not even that complicated. Parts are cheap . Honda has efi in generators for a decade now & there is not a single reported problem with the fuel injection in eu7000is..

Thank you for the review, does the eu2200i companion cable work with the new eu3200i ?

Nothing about a compatible DC charging adapter for this unit. I have not found one that fits.
How does FI work on a small generator? Is there a pump and how is it activated during start-up? By a battery?
No battery but yes has a fuel pump, in fact even the old EU line of generators also have fuel pumps. Because they have fuel pumps you can easily get them to run off extended run fuel tanks.
