Power was out in the wind the other day, and the snows coming. Generator and a space heaters are good things to have right now.

Amen brother. Got everything set up today and have gas for the generator. Hope y’all stay warm! Appreciate you watching. 👍🏼👊🏼

Having worked at a Honda outdoor power equipment store for years and selling a bunch of their stuff, they are kinda hard to beat , but I think I'd buy that Coleman . Great video . Maybe do a video on funnels next 😂

Joe I use to do the same thing when I need a generator because we lost power. Then I got smart and bougbt a Generac generator. It is a 23 kw and runs the whole house. Don't have to pull any cord . When we lose power which is often the Generac starts up 20 seconds later.

Hey Tom! That is the gold standard my friend. My in laws have the same setup. Starts once a month and maintenance is very simple. Just import that folks get something to offset grid issues. Take care and stay warm this week!

Hey Joe! Nice job! I have the Honda also! Can’t beat it! I always run my Honda empty and put in fresh fuel when I need. It usually starts right up, of course, it won’t next time😂🤣 I have the big Harbor Freight generator to backup the house. Thanks for sharing!💪🚜🇺🇸✝️

@jasonbroom7147 6 ай бұрын

Harbor Freight is currently selling the Honda EU2200i for $999, so the difference is only 200 dollars. That makes this an easy decision, to me...go with the one you've had for 10 years and it's still working perfectly.

@JoeTheFarmer 6 ай бұрын

That is a great price for the Honda; and no complaints other than they are a pain to start sometimes. BUT, compare the Coleman to the same wattage Honda 3200 and that generator is $2,600. The Honda is definitely more refined; but far more expensive.

Brother; no judgement. I was on the HF website today! I need better tool organization. Like…bad! Lol. Predator generators look really nice. I bought these Honda’s when we had a camper. They are great machines…just super expensive. Appreciate you watching my friend.

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Chad! And I appreciate the feedback brother. If anything the Coleman is slightly louder. Not a bad trade off for twice the power.

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

It's minimal. I think the Honda is quieter in eco mode; but when the eco mode is off the Coleman seemed louder.

@mileshiles1287 7 ай бұрын

I don't have a backup power source but if I were to get one it would be the Coleman or something similar. I would want the most bang for the buck Hondas are great if you were to use it alot. It hopefully won't get used alot in either case I'll need your arm to get them started 😂. I did find a cool little inverter that uses my 20v power tool batteries at least we won't be in the dark

@JohnDoe-df2zz 7 ай бұрын

I'm a big fan of the Honda generators, but I'd be willing to give Coleman a look. I'd be curious where it is made, who makes the engine, if it is just a rebrand/rebadge of an already existing generator line. Also, I've never had issues starting my Honda generator. Even if I drain all of the fuel out at the end of season, I've never had the trouble you had starting it. I'm betting that you need some fuel system maintenance and probably a good scrub of the carb. Honda are pretty bulletproof, hopefully the Colemans are also.

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

All good questions my friend. I have two of the Honda’s and both just take time to start. Been like that since new. The new eu2200i may be better. Idk. Thanks for watching!

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

Electric start is a beautiful thing. But the new electric generators are so good I think you made the right call. Thanks for watching and appreciate your kind words.

@berettaguy7445 7 ай бұрын

If you had to pull your Honda "about 50 times" to start it, there's a problem somewhere. I have two EU2200's (Companion and standard), and in the absence of outages, start and run them every six months for 30 minutes. I have never had to pull either of them more than 4 times, regardless of ambient temperature.

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

Nothing wrong with them. You have 2200’s which are upgraded 2000i’s. The 2200’a are much better units imo. But in all honesty, it prob wasn’t 50 times for either. I was prob being a bit dramatic. I should have counted…. Appreciate you watching and hope you don’t have to use those 2200’s this week! We have cold and snow coming. Feels good to be prepared. 👍🏼👊🏼

For the power output, noise and price the Coleman win hands down, but it's a yank'um generator the ladies may not take to much too. But what a deal

@JoeTheFarmer 7 ай бұрын

You are correct in that! My wife and daughters would never get this started. Not trying to start something; I’m sure many women can! But my women, not so much. I actually talk about that in another video coming out shortly on power security. Thanks for watching!

@ClaudBalls-en1sg 7 ай бұрын

Your review does little to answer the question you proposed, “Cheaper generator better than Honda?” Not all inverter generators perform equally well. Under demanding conditions, some models simply fail to deliver the promised increments of power, potentially shutting down or causing appliances to overheat or stall out. Put them under full power and tell me which one performed better. I’ll go with Honda over Coleman all day long, the price increase pays for itself in performance, longevity, and serviceability. I’ll also note that you should take your Honda’s carburetor to a Honda service center and have it cleaned and rebuilt. The jets are obviously varnished or contaminated in some fashion if you have to pull it 50 times. That should cost you $60-$100. Also, there’s a drain screw under the carburetor you can use to drain the fuel when it’s not in use. Running the carburetor to empty isn’t enough. Cheers..

Fuel consumption comparison?

That is a great question. If they were equally sized I would compare…but considering the Coleman is twice the size I’m not smart enough to figure that out! Lol. To be real; it’s brand new. I’ll need to spend some time with it and break it in a bit. But first impressions are that it is a very nice option with a LOT of power! Thanks for watching my friend.

@@JoeTheFarmer That's how the Hondas are, if they haven't been started in awhile. We use the 2000 & 2200 Hondas at work, and use them all the time. They usually start first or second pull because of that. Sounds crazy, but the more they are ran, the better they run. Go figure.

Makes total sense. I had a carb issue in one and replaced it with an OEM Honda carb; but this one has been solid. They just take time when cold. Also very durable when they fly out of the back of a side by side and roll down a hill. Ask me how I know. Lol...
