The Honda EU10i offers inverter technology, a Honda 4-stroke engine and super silent noise output within one of the most lightweight, compact designs of its calibre. Between its fuel efficiency, lower fuel emissions and extended run-time using its EcoThrottle setting, the EU10i, provides a super silent, lightweight option for those needing Honda’s high-quality power in an easy-to transport design.

The EU10i is a great addition to Honda's generators series for those who are noise and space conscious. In turn, the EU10i is a popular option for outdoor recreation and camping activities. Let’s take a closer look at what the EU10i has to offer:

What Type of Generator is the Honda EU10i?

Similar to its counterpart, the EU22i, the EU10i is an inverter generator, meaning it has a built-in inverter within the generator that will produce cleaner, high quality power. This is because of its ability to convert DC energy into AC power, making it a quieter option with the added ability to power up frequency sensitive devices such as laptops, smartphones, hair dryers and TVs.

Using inverter technology means that the EU10i runs on sine wave power, resulting in a cleaner power source with an increased fuel efficiency. Its inverter technology also means it can get away with being more lightweight and compact than conventional generators.

Honda EU10i Applications

The versatility Honda brings to the table is unprecedented and the EU10i is a great choice for home, outdoor and recreational use. Its GXH50 engine 4-stroke engine reflects Honda’s reputation for strong performance with few emissions for a reduced environmental impact.

The EU10i includes a high-speed multi-point alternator integrated into the engine, meaning that the overall weight and size of the generator is effectively reduced by about 25%. This means easy portability for those who want a lightweight option without compromising on Honda’s excellent engine and high-quality power output.

With a 2.3L fuel tank, the EU10i uses unleaded petrol for a more fuel efficient option for those going camping or for outdoor activities. Its EcoThrottle functioning also allows for an 8 hour continuous operation time to power appliances and sensitive devices. The EcoThrottle function means that its power output will match the demand without needing to run at full capacity and an overall lower noise output, fuel consumption and fuel emissions.

Honda EU10i Power Rating

When it comes to power rating, its 1KVA output still reflects the high-quality, commercial-like power that Honda’s reputation promises. It delivers on everything you would expect from a Honda, in a lightweight alternative to its other models.

The Honda EU10i key features include:

• Maximum output: 1000w
• Engine: 4-stroke GXH50
• Noise level: 52 dBA at 7m
• Run time: 8 hours using EcoThrottle+ setting
• KVA: 1KVA
• Fuel tank capacity: 2.3L
• Dry weight: 13kg
• Phase: single phase
• Dimensions: 451mm x 242mm x 379mm

Honda’s inclusion of its parallel connection capability means that you can reap the rewards of doubling your power output by connecting one EU10i model to another using a special connection cord. This makes it an ideal choice for group camping trips or in instances where you need a little boost of power to run additional appliances.

Pricing

While Honda’s price range is considered as a little more top-tier, it reflects the brands durability, reliability and versatility. At $1499.00, the EU10i is a great alternative to the EU22i and serves a majority of the EU22i benefits, including its EcoThrottle setting and parallel connection capability.
