Honda Generator Pricing EU2000i

[FrankShore]

Looking to buy a new Honda EU2000i - best price I can find is $999.00 (free shipping + no tax) Anyone know of any better pricing? Thanks.

w/ costco if it doesnt work ill just take it back and exchange it or get my money back, even if its 3 years old !

heres another one i keep thinking about as an alternative....and what w/ COSTCO's generous return policy i think it might be a good option.

i looked at this one today - little bigger than the honda EU2k - w/ a slightly larger fuel tank...
simular specs to the EU2k

I bought mine at CalRanch a couple of months ago.
At the time they were giving a $100 gift card with Honda Gen purchase. On top of that I got a 10% discount by signing up for their credit card. I've seen some similar deals since then.

I haven't done the cc sign-up thing in many years, and this one will be cancelled soon. But to get a true Honda for about $800 (tax was on regular $1K price), it was worth it.

For me one of the more important considerations was getting parts or service for my generator when it needs it. For that Honda beat out Yamaha locally. I've already installed and used the high altitude jet for my dry camping (8,200' and 10,000' campsites).

This does make me think. Good reviews. Half the price. Hmmmm?

Harbor Freight

Maybe I should wait until Labor Day codes! Thanks for the idea.

Try "Speedway", "Wise", or "Mayberry" on line. These will be the best price around.

949, 999 & 949 respectively - no better than i can buy it for locally 😞
overtone's recently had the eu2000i(KCi) it for 799 (using a JULY4th Code).

Thanks! I'll keep my eyes open on both issues!

If you can wait Camping World has them on sale periodically. That worked for me.

Lots (more) generator input (and replies) will be found on the *Tech Issues* forum.

BTW you might consider a Honda "knock-off" for about half the price.
See Champion (and other) inverter gen discussions there...:W

Your bucks your choice..:C
