Honda EU 2000i

We have survived the ice storm. The daffodils and crocus are starting the poke their little green sprouts from the previously ice covered ground. All in all, things are looking up. One exception is the enormous pile of brush in your yard. We have piled and stacked for days and days. Last weekend we cut wood until we were exhausted. I have more than pick up load in the back yard. It will eventually go the sail club or my friend Jimmie's house but at least it will be used.

During the height of the storm. I felt compelled to purchase a generator. Since we were using a borrowed one, and the power company said it would be another week before we would have electrons in our house. I ordered a Honda EU2000i generator.

So, what you may ask is an EU200oi Honda Generator. It's a whisper quiet suitcase generator. Weighing in at only 40 pounds and super fuel efficient. This small generator will be capable of powering our refrigerator, gas furnace, computers and television. All ready for the next big power outage. But wait there is more!!

The Honda will run for 15 hours on a single gallon of gas. Producing some 2000 watts of pure sine-wave electricity, perfect for even the most sensitive application, like a computer or television set. With its automatic throttle, it purrs quietly with about 50 db of noise. Normal conversation is around 60db to 65db. It's that quiet!

Truthfully, I don't think we'll ever need it for another power outage. Although, in the past 6 years, we've had two periods of electrical outages lasting more than 5 days. So, I suppose that there is a remote possibility. I actually purchased it with the boating season in mind. See, this little generator can run the entire boat--including the air-conditioning. So we plan to spend more time away from the docks this year, and more time on the lake. In comfort!
