Honda’s model data, organized.

These fields come from Honda’s current U.S. generator catalog and model-specific specification tables. MSRP excludes taxes and the dealer sets the actual selling price.

Outdoor use only. Fuel-burning generators create deadly carbon monoxide. CO-MINDER is a backup safety system, not a substitute for correct outdoor placement and an approved home connection.
