Honda Eu3000is Inverter Generator v/s Honda Eu1000i Inverter Generator

Hey All,
I have a query......Honda Eu1000i Inverter Generator or Honda Eu3000is Inverter Generator which one is more useful or suitable for home useage?? Honda Eu1000i Inverter Generator has maximum 1000 watts/8.3 amps @ 120V or Honda Eu3000is Inverter Generator 3000 watts/25 amps @ 120 volts. Get me out of this problem........

It depends on the power demand of your home. If the power demand is less than 1000watt then buy the one that can produce 1000watt but there is a probability that your power consumption may increase with time and if it does the 1000watt generator will no longer be useful, in this case I advice you to take the 3000watt generator if you have the resources (cash).

It depends on the power demand of the loads in your house. If the demand is less than 1000watt, I advice you to take the 1000wattbut there is a tendency for your power demand to increase and if it does, the 1000watt will not serve the demand. So in this case I advice you to take the 3000watt generator if you have the resources (Cash).

You might get by with the 1000W by plugging and unplugging appliances.

Honda is a top brand in generators. It is likely to have sufficient surge capacity to start motorized appliances such as a refrigerator.

My tests with a refrigerator showed that it had a 25% duty cycle.

The lower power generator will use less fuel. However if you try to overload it, its performance may start to degrade irrecoverably.

The higher power generator will use up fuel faster with an equal load as compared to the lower power generator.

Reasons you may prefere to get the 3000W model:

Do you have a well pump that requires more than 1000 W?

Does someone in your house absolutely need air conditioning on hot days?

Is there a chance a neighbor will come to your house with a long extension cord and say, 'May I power my refrigerator from your generator?'

I think Honda Eu3000is Inverter Generator is a better option puts out a maximum of 3000 watts/25 amps @ 120 volts. It comes standard with convenient electric starting with the capability to have the optional wireless remote start. With this generator, you can power for your furnace, fridge, microwave, most 13,500 BTU RV AC units, and much more. It is super quiet with a decibel rating of 49-58 dBA making it one of Honda's quietest generators.

This 3000 watt generator is fuel efficient - up to 20 hrs on 3.4 gallons of gas. Features Honda's advanced inverter technology provides reliable power to computers and other sensitive equipment.
