Introducing the new Honda EU22i inverter generator

KICKING off 2018 for Honda ( UK ) is the launch of the new EU22i , successor to the best-selling EU20i from Honda ’ s portable inverter generator range . Offering a 10 per cent increase in power , plus a range of enhancements to make it more durable and user friendly , it remains as quiet and almost identical in size and weight to the EU20i which it replaces . The EU22i is available to buy now with the price remaining competitive at £ 1,249 ( incl . VAT ) – the same as the outgoing model .
The new EU22i retains the advanced technologies for which the original is renowned since its introduction in 2001 , using inverter technology to offer electricity clean and stable enough to charge sophisticated devices including laptops , tablets and mobiles , while strong and powerful enough to handle more demanding equipment or act as a back-up .
Maximum power output is up by 10 per cent to 2.2kW thanks to the all-new four-stroke Honda GXR120 ( 120cc ) engine , operating at a lower speed to the GX100 ( 100cc ) featured in the EU20i , with operating noise a quiet 91db ( A ), improving fuel economy and increasing operating time up to 8.1 hours on one fill . The new engine also offers improved handling of varying load demand , with faster speed recovery when load increases , and cleaner combustion which meets stringent Euro5 emissions standards .
The new EU22i comes with a five-year manufacturer ’ s warranty for leisure customers and one- year for professional users .
