Overall this is a nice little generator but the main purpose of this review is to let people know that this generator DOES NOT HAVE A DC OUTPUT. In reality it does have a DC output but you’re not supposed to use it. The DC output is unregulated which did not pass certain licensing so rather than remove the DC outlet Honeywell decided not to ship or sell a plug that will fit the DC outlet. I think this is a very unprofessional solution and they should do a better job of telling customers what happened. I wasted several hours and trips to multiple hardware stores trying to find a plug for this thing.
I’ve used the generator for about 5 hours now and the thing I notice most is that this is the easiest starting generator that I have ever used. It starts on the first pull every time and has been very reliable. It is a gasoline engine so it is fairly loud but compared to my 5500 Watt portable generator this thing is incredibly quiet.

Unfortunately, this item is “not eligible for return,” so i’m stuck with it!
It wreaks of gasoline! My brother said that maybe they just wanted to test it before shipping. Hard to believe when there are scuff marks all over the bottom, dirty smudges on the papers, and light stains and scratches on the body that indicate some normal wear and tear of the machine.
This has definitely put a bad taste in my mouth with Amazon. Especially when some of these reviews state that it only works well for so many hours and then goes kaput on you. I really trusted Amazon was better than this, but maybe I was wrong. They could have at least warned that the item would be slightly used and then given you a discount for it being used.
Just a heads up to everyone- Costco sells the same machine at a whole $3 more… considering their returns policy, it’s a FAR better deal. So if you wand this item find someone with a Costco Membership and get it from them. They actually care about keeping their customers happy.
I’m adding this in… Not only was the machine used… but it also does not work. We tried it for the first time and could not get it working. We have read the manual 1000 times over to see if there was something we’re doing wrong, but still just can’t get it to go. Tsk tsk, Amazon.

I bought this generator to charge a 12V deep-cycle AGM battery using a 40 Amp charge controller. For that, this generator works just fine, although it’s a lot louder than I expected.
I’m giving it two stars because the particular unit I got failed after less than 10 hours of usage. I had it running, and went away for a couple of hours, and when I came back, it had stopped. The oil level was low, so I added some oil, but it simply wouldn’t start. I checked everything the manual tells you to check, with no success. I pulled out the spark plug to see if there was a spark, but there didn’t appear to be, so the electrical system might’ve failed. I took it to an authorized mechanic, and hopefully will find out exactly what happened.
The bottom line is, if you’re buying a generator, you’re probably using it in a situation where you need to be able to depend on your gear. I found that I couldn’t depend on this generator, so I’m giving it two stars. If I could do it again, I’d probably look for a used Honda EU 1000i or 2000i.

It pretty much does what it says. A bit louder than I had hoped, but not so loud that I wouldn’t want to use it. The comparable Honda is quieter, but much more money. I bought it for camping and it fits that role fine. Easy to carry with one hand, even when fueled. Perhaps I should have gotten the 2000 watt version so I could power my refrigerator in an emergency, but that is larger and uses more fuel, and I had camping in mind, (and it costs more) so I chose the smaller version. First start took about 8 pulls, only needs one or two pulls thereafter (unless you run it dry).
I had seriously considered one of the cheapo (~ $130) two cycle 1000 watt portables, but I can’t make myself believe that any two cycle would be as quiet as this unit. Perhaps someone with access to both could offer up a comparison? Maybe if I didn’t want to use it for camping (but if that were the case, I’d want a larger generator anyhow).

I bought this generator to have as an emergency battery charger run through our Xantrex inverter/charger aboard our cruising sailboat. I also wanted to have portable power for low power hand power tools without taking from the ship’s battery bank. I wasn’t sure if it would run my very fussy, electronically controlled Bosch saber saw because that saw won’t run off our on board Xantrex inverter even though computers and other electronics work fine from from the on board 120v power. The Bosch runs perfectly off of the Honeywell 1000i: it must produce a true sign wave output.
It is shipped without oil, so I added the prescribed amount with the little spouted oil container provided (very handy for our 4 stroke 9.8 hp outboard too), added gas, and gave a pull. She started on the third pull and ran smooth and quieter than my old Honda 1000 watt generator. On subsequent tries both hot and cold, she started on the first pull.
That’s how I reviewed it six months ago. After about 30 hours of use, the picture changed. First, the starter cord broke; warranty wouldn’t cover it. Having more pressing projects aboard the boat, I paid a technician to fix it. Then it began to sometimes not start, other times quit after running for between 10 minutes and three hours. This pattern has continued through at least a month of twice weekly use. I have checked everything. When it won’t go, it is because it has no spark. Won’t bore you with technical details, but I understand small engines, so I checked things thoroughly. Appears to be a problem with the electronic module that controls the primary circuit of the magneto. Parts next to impossible to get. Honeywell certified technicians no less about it than I do. Most have never seen a small Honeywell. I have learned to hate this machine. Should have bought a Honda or Yamaha.
