Honda EU7000iS review
Honda EU7000iS 5,500-Watt Gasoline Inverter Portable Generator, with CO-MINDER (49-State)
By Tom Calder
At 5,500 rated watts (7,000 maximum) it can run a refrigerator, furnace blower and sump pump with lights, and a window air conditioner as the biggest add. Honda lists a 30A 125/250V locking outlet for a transfer-switch cord, and CO-MINDER is the maker's term for its carbon monoxide shutoff.

- Quiet, inverter-clean backup for a home, RV or campsite
