Hi I am thinking of buying this model but the question I have I heard if I I can buy some sort of a plug to my breaker panel and be able to run my whole house on it for heat?

@saucenick

I think you are talking about installing a TRANSFER SWITCH. This device allows you to connect your generator safely to your house. I have such a devise on my house. It needs to be installed by a competent licensed electrician who knows the local codes etc. There are a number of YouTube sites that explain what that switch does. Just go to the YouTube search engine and type in, “Generator Transfer Switch”

Good luck and be safe.

How many hours on it?

@VivaLaBamEpisodes

At the time the video was done, the generator had about 90 hours on it. Thanks for asking

Dang i'd buy that for a dollar!! but can you run it on frogs teeth? as i can get them for free!!

[caribonz]

I live off grid and would be in a world of hurt if it wasn't for my eu6500. What a great device for those extended cloudy days of mountain winters. The video author is correct in saying that in reality this Honda is MUCH quieter than his camera microphone might make you believe.

I am buying one of these to power my whole house during power outages.

anything honda makes is quality....if honda made toasters, I would have one.

have been using one of these ...for occupy syracuse for music bands ,awesomely quiet.

SO IF I HAVE IT ON ECO MODE, IT WILL SOUND LIKE A MOPED WHEN MY AC TURNS ON?

[38magoo]

you can convert that generator like i did to my two eu2000i units after hurricance katrina in new orleans to low pressure propane and natural gas while keeping gasoline ask for tri fuel option from uscarb.com or 1800 553 5608. send them the carberator to convert its worth it.

@saucenick I went with an interlock kit. Much cheeper than a Transfer switch. Look up interlock kit on YouTube

[saucenick]

yes thank you very much I did find it. I didn't think that this generator was over $3000.00

[iamtheav8r]

Please put a full load on it and then video tape it. The sound is much different then, although still much quieter than a non inverter type generator.

Believe it or not, computers are not very sensitive at all to AC fluctuations. Desktop computers have a power supply unit, which is full of capacitors, which do a very good job of filtering out any fluctuations. Laptops of course have a battery.

But man that thing is quiet. Although the quietest I've heard yet is a friend's EU3000, that thing is very quiet for a 6,500 watt. I think a good way to test the sound of a generator is set the camera down, walk to the generator and start talking.
