With Honda’s industry leading series of generators, it comes as no surprise that the EU22i delivers on its commercial-like power, inverter technology, first-class 4-stroke engine, and its immaculate fuel efficiency.

Honda generators have been at the forefront of its industry for their power quality, longevity and reliability. As the evolution of the EU20i, the EU22i offers a compact, lightweight design and is a popular choice for camping and caravanning enthusiasts and those who need a sturdy engine without compromising on noise. Let’s take a closer look at what the EU22i offers:

What Type of Generator is the Honda EU22i?

The Honda’s EU22i uses inverter technology and sine wave power, making it one of the quietest generators on the market.

As an inverter generator, the EU22i has a built-in inverter to convert DC power to AC power using a microprocessor, resulting in cleaner, quieter and high-quality power. This means significantly less harmonic distortion, increased fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions, and allowing for a more lightweight, compact design.

The beauty about the EU22i, however, is its GXR120 4-stroke engine, which is 20% larger in capacity than its predecessor the EU20i. This allows for maximum power output, while running at an extremely low noise output and running at about 30% less fuel consumption than a 2-stroke engine.

Honda EU22i Applications

With a lightweight, compact design and a maximum output of 2200 watts, the EU22i is an ideal choice for camping and caravanning adventures. The EU22i’s inverter technology means it also has the capacity to power up frequency sensitive devices such as fridges, laptops, TVs, and audio equipment using sine wave power.

For those running a caravan with an air-conditioner the EU22i’s 2.2KVA will have the capacity to comfortably run the air-conditioner as well as any appliances required.

Aiding its application versatility is the inclusion of Honda’s EcoThrottle function, allowing the EU22i run time to be increased to continuously run for 8 hours at a ¼ capacity with a 4 litre fuel tank. Achieved by adjusting the engine speed to the power demand needed, the Eco Throttle function will only ever run at full capacity if it is required. This means lower fuel consumption and lower noise output.

The Honda EU22i is known for its versatility in application, but its popularity for camping and caravanning is due to its inverter technology, powerful and reliable engine and low noise output. Guaranteed to power up anything you need without disrupting neighbouring campsites.

Honda EU22i Power Rating

Honda’s power rating for the EU22i is exceptional for its KVA range. With a maximum output of 2200 watts being enough to provide continuous, commercial like power for your camping site or caravan. Whether you want a source of light, cooler temperatures, freshly made coffee in the morning or play music, the EU22i has got you covered.

The Honda EU22i key features include:

• Maximum output: 2200w
• Continuous output: 1800w
