NEW HONDA BLUETOOTH Generator EU2200i Exposed! CO Minder Review / 2021 Model

I never wanted or needed a generator and yet I'm watching this at midnight instead of going to bed. Thank you youtube.

We have two of the older models at my work. One is 6 years old and the other is 8 or so. Never changed the oil, filter, or spark plugs. Ever. They start one pull in warm weather every time and 2-3 pulls in winter conditions. Running in parallel is awesome but best part is how quite they are. You can have normal conversations standing right over them. Greatest small generator you will ever buy, no question.

Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQL… . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.

I have 2 older eu200i models for 4 years. I use them every summer to run small air conditioners mounted in box trucks to ship wine in the hot south. The generators are put in steel toolboxes mounted under the side of the trucks. Zero trouble in four years. They still start with one or two pulls and if there is ever any trouble they can be serviced at any Honda Outdoors dealer. Thanks for a great review.

Occasionally you come across a master on YouTube. Here is one. He is always trying to figure out better ways to fix the things most of us just live with and grumble about. His videos are clear and very, very, thorough. This one is a good example. He knows Honda generators better than the company engineers themselves. The vIdeo gets my own award of surprising excellence today. BRAVO!

I'll admit when I first saw the title of the video NEW HONDA BLUETOOTH Generator EU2200i Exposed looked like typically Youtube clickbait but I was actually very impressed with this demonstration. Thank you for the video!!!

I had to buy this as a result of a power outtage from a storm in Sacramento, CA. I'm not a big fan of reviews, especially because my grammar sucks. Anyways I'm glad I got this generator,especially with a new born. It was the last one available so I got really lucky. In 2 days I was able to run my fridge, small heater, 55" tv,cable box,water dispenser with no problem,power strips to charge phones & flashlights. Just whenever I needed to use the microwave,you have to turn everything else off and dedicate it solely to the microwave otherwise it will pop the breaker. It's hard to guess how much gas you have left in it, but I would fill it up every 4 hours. Best investment you can make.I promise it pays itself off by just saving the money on food that doesnt go to waste.

Thanks for testing the co sensor. This was/is my biggest concern. if the design changes or there is a parts problem I don't want my generator to be down for something that is only a "nice to have" --- if you follow the instructions, you'll never need this component. I"m most excited that Honda finally added the ability to turn off the fuel separate from the ignition. The amount of small engines damaged by bad fuel...you can make a good living just knowing how to clean a carb...

My EU2000 is 10 years old. Still my most trusted gen.

Best generator on the market hands down. I’ve got thousands of hours on my eu2200i.

Excellent video - Thank you for doing it - Just brought one of these home and tried it out on a 1500 watt ceramic heater - The app indicated 1450 watts very smoothly supplied with room for some electronics in an emergency - Started on 3rd pull for fist ever start, Bluetooth app loaded and connected perfectly - Caution - My unit had a good bit of oil left from the manufacturer's test, at least 5 ounces, and had to let a bit out to get the level right before starting - Also - It's easy to over fill the gas - High compliments to Honda on this little gem - Glad I bought it and my wife feels a bit more secure for an emergency scenario

I’m 54 and always thought you screw the oil stick in to check the oil level. Never to old to learn something new. Thanks for the intel brother. 👍

I am repairing a generator in Japan. The product is a good idea. It is even better if you install a starter motor.

Lisent. I went through 6 months without electricity here in Puerto Rico back when huracan María sent us back to the 1800s. This generator is a really amazing thing. We plug it directly to the main braker and ran the entire house with it. No AC obviously but 3-4 floor fans, garage doors, all the lights in the house, tv, the fridge and the microwave (usually we unplug the fridge to run the microwave). It is still running strong when we get a power outage even after all this years since the huracan. And let’s not forget about the 6 months of abuse working 16 hours per day back in 2017. A full tank last anywhere from 8-10 hours in ecomode and requiere about $2.50 at current gas prices. Thats just insane. As long as we dont use things like the water heater or the iron while also powering the house that puppy lights the entire house without even increasing its revs. And yes I do know its not “rated” for that but at the time there was the need for a generator that was able to work with less than $5 per day. Remember, 6 months without electricity living out of savings and with 2 days waiting lines at the gas station. The little red thing blew our minds. I will always recommended

I am still using my Honda EU1000 I got in about y2k or the year 2000. Always take it on on road trips. It has been a life saver for me and other worrier travelers.

I have the EU2200i from three years ago. What a unit!! Quiet and dependable. Always starts on the first or second pull and it runs for hours without a refill. I really like some of the improvements to it on this new version. The flap that covers the outlets and the protection over the reset button. I guess the Bluetooth is an advantage, but not a necessity. Likewise with the carbon monoxide detector. I would be more acute to using it if I were in a confined space where there is no air flow, but if this is being used for camping or a travel trailer, then in all likelihood it would be outside. I would love to get the companion to increase the power. Thanks for the review! Very helpful. Cheers!

I'm glad you tested the generator without the CO detector connected at all. At first I was like "Sounds like a great way for Honda to make you buy a new generator." At least you can unplug it completely and still have it work. I'm sure the part itself is inexpensive, but the wiring is probably Honda's proprietary blend of herbs and spices and are likely very reluctant to sell you this part for less than the cost of replacing your 2200i

I've had a Eu 2000 I for 7 years,never let me down once. Just keep up on the maintenance and they will fire up ,they're pretty much bulletproof. Nice to see some much needed technology added to such a reliable product.

We are a recent storm that left 1000 without power this weekend. My co-worker raved about this product. In her words" Highly recommend Honda EU2200iTAG with Co-Minder Inverter Generator, it quietly powered 2 fridges, a freezer, security system with cameras, garage door opener, WiFi modem, 2 tvs, lamps, fans, phone chargers, an air fryer and coffee pot and can’t forget my cabana! We didn’t even tap into the potential it still had!"
