I have two of those. The best generator in the market. My first on ran almost two months straight after hurricane Maria and performed flawlessly. Now I have my second one and both were used for Hurricane Fiona. Both have few minor modifications: magnetic drain plug, magnetic dipstick. Both run on Mobil One 10W30. The older one has a lithium ion battery and an iridium spark plug. Both have battery tender. Those Powerhorse and other similar ones are no match for the Honda. The powerhorse runs about the same time but, what most people don't realize, the Powerhorse has a bigger tank. So is NOT as efficient. When I went to buy my second Honda, the salesman had a Powerhorse beside the EU7000is. He was going to do the demo on the Powerhorse, he hit the start button, and the blue generator would not start! Right in the showroom! At that moment, I realized which generator was going home with me.
Just got this unit delivered and tested it today. Firstly it is astonishingly quiet. I can't even hear it from inside the house unless I'm in the room where it's running just outside the window. This is a huge difference from my old, loud, cheap open frame generator. I was worried about it only being 5k running watts but it seems to have no issues running the basic items in my house. The Bluetooth app is cool but a bit clunky, the main issue being that the range is not great. Remote start sounded great but I don't really find it that useful. I kind of envisioned being able to stop and start this generator from inside the house during extended power outages - but you need to disconnect the loads when performing a cold start so I would have to go outside anyway. Overall I generally recommend this generator as long as you don't mind the high price. Sure, it's worth it on paper given that it's fuel injection vs. carburetor, Honda reliability, and SO quiet -- but there are competing inverter generators such as the Predator 9500 that are less than half the price that probably would have also worked just fine.
The Honda is a set up and forget device. You will have your Honda generator for many, many years with almost no maintenance. The other one... well, you can compare the other one with the others.
If you were going to use it everyday for thousands of hours I would agree with you. But most people actually don't use their generators that much..... Primarily power outages and such.... And they may have most generator for many many years.
This is my all time favorite generator. I have a 10 year old EU6500is that still runs like it is brand new. These are not the flashiest, but the quality is second to none and are built to last.
I just bought the Honda EU7000is in Canada, it is amazing, for all folks interested in one of these there is a $1250 markup from dealer cost to retail so shop until you find a dealer that will move on the price because in my opinion that is excessive profit on a generator. dealer cost is ~$4525.00 plus GST where I live, luckily I have a very honest and open dealer that showed me his invoice from Honda Canada and was willing to sell me it at $5000 plus GST Canadian $5250.00 out the door. In the USA this would be even lower as your $ is stronger but markup should be similar.
Thank you. Your channel was extremely helpful in picking out the right generator for my needs. Ended up buying the Duromax 4500iH Dual Fuel. I just use it for the odd camping trip, and for home back up. Within my budget. Lots of great features. Fairly quiet. Love that I can run gas or propane in an emergency. Mainly wanted a backup for fridges and freezers. Great channel! :)
Thanks Jim Just keep the tank and carburetor pump gas free when storing the generator drain it completely. Store propane tank and buy pump gas only when you need it. Thanks for watching
Love your generator reviews! This honda is one I've been considering for the occasional home outage. I have a eu2000 and love Honda products and their quality, but for me this one is just way too expensive (and a little under powered) to justify for occasional use. And the thought of getting two of these hondas to parallel is what eliminates this as an option for me (cost wise). Been watching your excellent reviews of the duromax xp9000ih and is probably what I'll go with (love the lp option).
@@troy3456789 Agree with Honda quality. I did end up with the Honda eu7000is and mostly satisfied. The Honda app has Bluetooth issues, at least on my pixel and maybe Android in general. That's my only disappointment so far. The generator itself is very nice and quiet, high quality.
@@ewicky I agree. The problem I have is in SW Florida most homes are 100% electric. The towns have no natural gas run. In NJ we can get by with a single EU7000. My home in Florida we had a Kohler 30RCL that runs on propane installed when we built. It ran 10 days straight after Ian hit. we already have over 300 hours on it.
The EU7000 is the new gold standard, to which all other inverter gens are compared to. The EU6500 was the original. Another huge benefit of fuel injection over carb, is fuel stability with sitting/storage. Fuel injection systems are sealed so air doesn't get to the fuel, and it stays stable longer (not forever, just longer). I'm guessing that's why Honda is adding to their new 2200 unit, and probably others going forward. I just checked and the Powerhorse is carbureted, not fuel injected. I'm guessing the "reverse engineering" manufacturers haven't cloned Honda's fuel injection system.....yet.
This fuel injection system is made from some company ( I don't remember right now) it very expensive part of that engine , when you think about you have to add a sensor and some controller , that is why that generator is so expensive
@@soulkeeper514 Not so... when the EU7000is came out it was exactly the same $3999 price as the carbureted EU6500is that it replaced. Back then I was amazed that they added fuel injection and kept the price the same.
Yeah, I saw that after downloading the manual for the PowerHorse. I guess they are hoping to fool customer with the "7000i" name. ;-) So much for competition.
Great video Gavin, please load test this on your RV with 2 -A/C's, fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and stove. lets see exactly what this generator will do.
i have 2 of these at my work, one of which has over 7300 running hours on it, and its ran outside in the heat in a very dusty Environment about 10 hours a day, since its the only source of power. still starts right up and nice and quiet. also theres no carb on it like you pointed at in the video, since its fuel injected. just wanted to clarify that. also the -13 on oil life meant you were 13 hours PAST when the oil change was due. you had 33 hours and you are supposed to do your first break in oil change after 20 hours of runtime.
I have the Honda EU 6500 which is pretty much identical except for the use of carburetion. I have no problem with the carbs as it is so easy to simply drain it with the attached drain outlet that it's really a non issue. I have a large number of gasoline powered units which all need care prior to stoarage ..Honda generator, 2 Champion 2000 watt generators, lawn mower, snow blower, outboard motors. Over the years I have found, here is what needs to be done for all gasoline powered small engines 1- use ONLY non ethanol gas (premium in most cases) 2- Always add a fuel stabilizer to the gas for storage... 3- Always drain the carbs after use or at least before storage. Remember as well, the Honda generators will maintain their resale value if properly looked after so you will recoup most of the drastic overpricing of your original purchase.
I have always loved the Honda generators and have always tried to buy my equipment with a Honda engine etc... when I was looking into buying a large whole house generator I bought the 9000 watt genmax and I'm very happy with it I just couldn't spend 5K+ on the Honda 7000 watt the genmax is less then 1/2 the price and I got it shipped free to my door. I hope I made the correct decision I value your opinion and based my purchase on your videos. can you give me the pro's and cons of my generator vs this
I think you made the right decision. I do think the Honda are great generators, but when it comes to Home back-up, it just can’t compare to a larger 9000w inverter generator. Plus the Genmax having a 50 amp plug makes a world of difference.
During the course of your PowerHorse review, could you measure the center-to-center distance of the top metal rails? I would love to know if the Honda lifting hook kit would fit that unit. I have one on my EU6500 and it makes it very convenience to pick it up with my tractor and haul it around the property when needed.
Great video’s. I’m trying to decide between Douro max 9000 and Honda 7000. I know the price difference but if price is not the final deciding factor which would you choose?
Do you think they are made by the same company or is the PowerHorse just a copy? Also, it didn't appear like the PowerHorse had a fuel gauge on top. I am very interested in these reviews as I currently use a EU6500is as a whole-house emergency generator and would love to get the newer version. I've had the EU6500 for almost 10 years and it does okay but I would love to have a few extra watts to better handle my electric hot water heater. Right now the EU6500 just barely handles it even when all other breakers are turned off.
I don’t know if it’s a Honda clone engine but I just think it’s really weird that everything even on the inside are located the exact same position even the recoil starter on the inside of the engine.
@@GeneratorReviews I agree. The more I think about it though I have a feeling it is just a Chinese reverse engineered copy as I've never seen any of the Honda generators OEM'd by anyone else. Will be anxiously waiting for your reviews on both.
It’s a fuel injected generator I think most people just missed my point I was trying to make. I was saying this would be the part that would be compared to the Powerhorse carburetor
I bet that must have cost a small fortune. Although it will be the last genny you ever buy. 👍👍 Why the Powerhouse doesn't have a fuel gauge is beyond me.
Love the Honda and I’ve owned 7 of this model. They are undersized for whole house and if Honda wants to compete in this market they had better come up with a predator killer. I’m talking 9k watts running and 11k surge. My predator 9k was 2100 dollars out the door. This Honda is 5k. Wake up Honda your getting your ass kicked by China. Gavin, love your videos.
Starting to see A LOT of complaints that Honda is discontinuing many parts making them paperweights. At this price point you need to be able to get parts for many years to come. Right now I wouldn’t buy one because of that!
Lovely. Why can Honda not come up with a 50A model? Looks nice though. I would be interested in seeing how you could modify for propane and fuel injection ? Also it looks like the comparison has a 50A plug.
I see your outlet cover flaps are also discoloring and turning brown. Annoying. A minor complain compared to the entire package, but still surprising for a Honda.
@@GeneratorReviews forgive my ignorance, but i see you pointed out the carburetor. What does the carburetor do if it's fuel injected? I thought it was one or the other
The two generators do look alike but the Honda appears physically smaller? I'd love to have the Honda but it's just too expensive for me. And, yeah, I know all the Honda owners are going to tell me I get what I pay for. And, yeah, I know the Honda will last 'till the end of the world. But, for now, I'll stick with my cheapo Westinghouse that starts and runs like when I got it over three years ago. I'd still like to have a Honda or Yamaha, just not at those prices.
another thing to consider is that 25 years plus you would be able to buy OEM parts from honda , other generators I don't know if would be the case , and yeah 20 years from now may be you would buy something else buy who knows
@@soulkeeper514 That is a major consideration. There are a multitude of sources for Honda parts including local Honda power equipment dealers. Yes, OEM Honda parts are expensive but at least you can get them. These Chinese made generators have very few if any parts available. Even maintenance items like fuel and air filters are not available. I recently looked at the new Harbor Freight 9000w Predator inverter generator and there are no parts at all available for that unit.
I ran a rood truck off these generators and I can say they are not the best built generators out there. They break down a lot and repairs are generally the GPU or Inverter which are both over $500 for just the part, nearly a $1,000 repair if you take it to a repair shop. I don't recommend buying these.
If you don’t mind me asking what percentage were you running that inverter and for how long,inverter gens typically like to be ran under 50% if you’re running it at 100% all day it’s going to go out.
I have two of those. The best generator in the market. My first on ran almost two months straight after hurricane Maria and performed flawlessly. Now I have my second one and both were used for Hurricane Fiona. Both have few minor modifications: magnetic drain plug, magnetic dipstick. Both run on Mobil One 10W30. The older one has a lithium ion battery and an iridium spark plug. Both have battery tender. Those Powerhorse and other similar ones are no match for the Honda. The powerhorse runs about the same time but, what most people don't realize, the Powerhorse has a bigger tank. So is NOT as efficient.

@@soulkeeper514 and you can actually get parts /get them repaired

Great video Gavin, please load test this on your RV with 2 -A/C's, fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and stove. lets see exactly what this generator will do.
You got it I’ll make it happen👍🏾
A website on the Powerhorse says it will run for 16 hours from a full tank. If it is fuel injected, it is not mentioned on that website.
Yes it is fuel injected
@@GeneratorReviews Oh good to know. Now, who makes the engine in it?
i have 2 of these at my work, one of which has over 7300 running hours on it, and its ran outside in the heat in a very dusty Environment about 10 hours a day, since its the only source of power. still starts right up and nice and quiet. also theres no carb on it like you pointed at in the video, since its fuel injected. just wanted to clarify that. also the -13 on oil life meant you were 13 hours PAST when the oil change was due. you had 33 hours and you are supposed to do your first break in oil change after 20 hours of runtime.
I know there’s no carburetor I know it’s the fuel injected. I was just trying show a comparison with the Powerhorse😊
This is a real world Review . I should of read your comment first i could of saved 12 min . thanks ,,You just sold a Honda generator .
The Honda 7000 is the gold standard for portable gas powered generators. If you do a decent job of maintaining them they will last forever .
Agreed 👍🏾💯👌🏾

Yessir…my first one was a Honda 15 years ago looks brand new
As soon as they make an eu10,000 I’ll be in line for it lol
me too
Me three
That would be bad ass. I am down!
It might be more affordable to switch appliances to gas/propane.
It has a carburettor. The fuel is injected in the carburretor?
Great video. I'll pay extra for the Honda and be glad I did.
Do you need to leave the key on all the time to use the remote or you did get a tickle charger to prevent the battery from die
You do need to leave the switch on but the generator goes into standby mode the battery will not drain overnight.
Great question 👍🏾
Thanks for the information
Since it does not have a 50A plug, would you use a dual 30A-50A pigtail then?
You would just have to get the adapter RV Generator Adapter Cord, 4-Prong L14-30P Locking Male Plug to 14-50R Amp Female
Would like to see a comparison of the Honda 7000 vs the Yamaha 6300 inverter , I find there’s not much info out there on the yamaha unit .
I will do that for you 👍🏾
During the course of your PowerHorse review, could you measure the center-to-center distance of the top metal rails? I would love to know if the Honda lifting hook kit would fit that unit. I have one on my EU6500 and it makes it very convenience to pick it up with my tractor and haul it around the property when needed.
Ok I will do that for you 👍🏾
Have that exact generator. Works quite well
4:44 then the thing you pointed out earlier can't be a carburetor.
It’s not it’s Fuel injected
@@GeneratorReviews that's why I noticed you pointing out a "carburetor" lol just pointing that out. tyvm for the video

“All the way around” really only front and back 😂
Love this generator but will it run my whole house with central AC
I’m installing the soft start on my AC so I can test it soon. 👍🏾
Hello, do you think this generator moves forward with 4 large grinders? I have a small one and it turns off. I'm looking for a large one.
What are the ratings on each grinder? It depends.
Is it true you can start and stop this from the Honda app on your phone?
Yes that’s true 👍🏾
Gavin have you tried running two RV AC units on a 7000 is
Yes it works great
Great video’s. I’m trying to decide between Douro max 9000 and Honda 7000. I know the price difference but if price is not the final deciding factor which would you choose?
The duromax 9000 inverter. Dual fuel. Remote start
Do you think they are made by the same company or is the PowerHorse just a copy? Also, it didn't appear like the PowerHorse had a fuel gauge on top.

How hard is it to move around?
Not hard at all!
Anybody have suggestions for adding receptacle plug hole covers for an older 7000is like those covers on the newer models?
First you told, that is fuel injected engine, and then you show carburetor at 4:02 So, is it injector or carburetor engine?
It’s a fuel injected generator I think most people just missed my point I was trying to make.
I was saying this would be the part that would be compared to the Powerhorse carburetor
I bet that must have cost a small fortune. Although it will be the last genny you ever buy. 👍👍 Why the Powerhouse doesn't have a fuel gauge is beyond me.
The gauge is on the monitor for the 7500i and yes the Hondas are pricey but definitely worth it.
@@GeneratorReviews thanks for the correction.👍
Not to get off topic, but did you ever do the champion 4500 on the rv test? I didn’t see it but may have missed it
I missed that one but thanks for letting me know I appreciate it.
I will get it on my list thanks
Great reviews. Why do you think yamaha have a 7200w generator for almost 50% of this price ?
I think because this one is fuel injected the price is significantly higher
Is it fuel injected or carbonated? You said it has both.
It’s a fuel injected inverter generator
Can you run two 30A travel trailers with this?
Yes, I believe you can if both travel trailer pays attention to the load requirements.
@@GeneratorReviews awesome thank you for the reply!

I agree with you
Honda sells everyone they make!
Don't know why people compare Honda generators to anything. The difference is between value and price. Period.
Is the 7000 a 2 cylinder ?
No, it’s a single cylinder
Starting to see A LOT of complaints that Honda is discontinuing many parts making them paperweights. At this price point you need to be able to get parts for many years to come. Right now I wouldn’t buy one because of that!
Nice Generator BUT for that price $$ Honda should have it with an oil filter and Dual fuel capability.
Hello Garvin...
Q. Have you tried the Honda north star 15,000 generator?
Is that the construction open frame generator? I think I have one.
@@GeneratorReviews yup... just wanted to know how it stands up to a inverter generator...
Lovely. Why can Honda not come up with a 50A model? Looks nice though. I would be interested in seeing how you could modify for propane and fuel injection ?
Also it looks like the comparison has a 50A plug.
It does, and that’s perfect no adapters to mess with.

And, yeah, I know all the Honda owners are going to tell me I get what I pay for. And, yeah, I know the Honda will last 'till the end of the world. But, for now, I'll stick with my cheapo Westinghouse that starts and runs like when I got it over three years ago. I'd still like to have a Honda or Yamaha, just not at those prices.
Yessir.. I laughed at I know the Honda will last till the end of the world 🌎
Thanks for watching Tom
another thing to consider is that 25 years plus you would be able to buy OEM parts from honda , other generators I don't know if would be the case , and yeah 20 years from now may be you would buy something else buy who knows
@@soulkeeper514 That is a major consideration. There are a multitude of sources for Honda parts including local Honda power equipment dealers. Yes, OEM Honda parts are expensive but at least you can get them. These Chinese made generators have very few if any parts available. Even maintenance items like fuel and air filters are not available. I recently looked at the new Harbor Freight 9000w Predator inverter generator and there are no parts at all available for that unit.
4:02 This unit is not carbureted! Come on man.
Thanks, but you misunderstood what I said
Awesome
I ran a rood truck off these generators and I can say they are not the best built generators out there. They break down a lot and repairs are generally the GPU or Inverter which are both over $500 for just the part, nearly a $1,000 repair if you take it to a repair shop. I don't recommend buying these.
you’re talking about the honda?
If you don’t mind me asking what percentage were you running that inverter and for how long,inverter gens typically like to be ran under 50% if you’re running it at 100% all day it’s going to go out.
I've seen food truck guys claiming they wouldn't run another brand generator too. To each their own. YMMV 😉
Nothing is better than the HONDA! If you take care of it it will last forever!
Carburetor 😂 on a fuel injected motor.
