  1. Looking for mentioning of remote start capability using remote or phone app and dual fuel capability

    • For non-inverter units, all the model numbers with “SX” (electric start + iGX engine) have remote start capability. For inverter units, as of now, only the EU7000iS can be remotely started. There are currently no Honda dual fuel units.

  2. Hi Paul, Very good article. Thank you
    I have a EU3000is S/N EZGF 1127594. I bought it in Canada. The rest of the letters behind the Model Number I do not have. This S/N is on the frame. Should there be another some where. I need to order parts and want to be sure of the model.

    Nice work, Paul. You made it quite clear. Thanks!!

  6. On the Honda EU2200i what is the difference between just a i at the end and some with TAG and I think LAN if I got that right?

    • There are no major differences. EU2200i is the common model name. The final letters are usually US-specific ones to denote a specific version of the model. TAG=made in Thailand (T), for the US-market (A), can be sold in California (G). TAN=made in Thailand(T), for the US-market (A), cannot be sold in California (N).

  7. Very helpful info from an expert.
    Other than price are there any advantages of a non-inverter Honda generator ?
