One sought after and even used by some of our competitors. From there we designed a generator to work with our engine for unprecedented performance. A Honda generator is a treat to the ears, operating in a refined manner so all you notice is quality. Yet other features deserve to be heard, like the ease of portability: from a lightweight model at only thirteen kilograms, to wheel kits or handles on many models. It’s 100% genuine Honda quality, found only in 100% Honda Power Equipment.
