Honda inverter generators deliver greater fuel efficiency via the built in Eco-throttle which adjusts the revs of the engine to match the load. Delivering savings with every tank of fuel.

ECONOMIC AND RELIABLE

The EU30iS features an Eco-throttle which adjusts the engine speed to meet the load demand. This increases fuel economy by only running at full capacity when required.

It features a microcomputer-controlled sinewave inverter that guarantees commercial-quality electricity – ideal for use with frequency-sensitive electrical equipment such as laptops.

And just like all Honda generators, the EU30iS starts 'first time every time' with convenient electric start and recoil start back-up.

PERFORMANCE & PEACE OF MIND

The EU30iS is whisper-quiet, operating from 52dB(A)*/65dB(A), and at only 59kg, is one of the lightest generators in its class.

It runs on unleaded fuel so you’ll never have to mix oil and petrol again. Environmentally friendly, the EU30iS emits lower emissions & less noise, and uses less fuel than its competitors.

The engine is protected via a low oil alert system, and it will give you up to 20* hours of continuous operation on a full fuel tank.

HONDA'S WORLD-RENOWNED TECHNOLOGY

The generator is Parallel Connection capable. This feature allows two EU30iS' to be quickly and easily linked using a special parallel connection cable to double your output to 6Kva.

With electric-starting and enough power to be used in a wide range of home, recreational and professional uses, the EU30iS incorporates all of Honda's portable power technology.

With 12 Amp/12 Volt DC and a maximum of 3000W/240 Volt AC, the EU30iS can run appliances and charge batteries simultaneously.

This is an great wee generator. Build quality is excellent starts effortlessly and handles the load without complaint.
I bought her to replace an alternative brand which had a higher rating and was used to power the battery charger for an off grid system. The alternative would overheat after about 30 minutes and cut out while the Honda just purrs away for hours on end without any signs of stress.
Overall a brilliant machine that is rugged economical and worth the extra dollars for piece of mind.
Riequip were excellent to deal with great service and follow up. Recommended.

For my RV solar backup I needed some good clean power an outstanding reputation for reliability and quiet. I went for the 3.0iS even though it was the price of a halfway decent car. After a day I considered I had a bargain the extraordinary muffler on this little beauty and its sosweet running made it seriously good value. Build quality is excellent. Riequip Motueka were right on the button thanks guys.
