The Honda EU3200i Generator Offers Low-Noise Operation for a Variety of Tasks
In the last 10 years, backup generators have vastly improved. Frankly, it’s amazing how they’ve evolved from exclusive luxuries to accessible solutions for consumer needs. Honda always seems to show up in our best generator lists. One of their newest models, the Honda Super Quiet EU3200i Inverter Generator, has a lot of features to explore.
The company has certainly come a long way since opening in 1948 as a bicycle motor manufacturer.
Honda EU3200i Super Quiet Portable Generator: What It Has
Made for various practical applications, the Honda EU3200i generator is a viable option for everything from camping to long outages.

At its core is the fuel-injected 3200-watt GX130 engine. This is an upgrade from the 3000-watt unit and will give you enough juice for multiple items–maybe an even more robust startup surge.
Furthermore, Honda says that its Eco Throttle system improves fuel efficiency and should extend runtimes to 8.6 hours per 1.2-gallon tank. However, that number drops to 3.3 hours when maxed out.
At 54-58 decibels, the Honda EU3200i generator is purportedly quieter than the average conversation. What’s more, their Inverter Technology generates “clean”, stable power for sensitive electronics.
The added punch comes via Honda’s parallel kit, linking a second EU3200i and doubling the available wattage. Overall, the operator will have high-end performance in a compact package.
For safety, the EU3200i includes Co-Minder advanced carbon monoxide detection, which will turn off the device when CO concentrations become too high.
