THE UK'S NO. 1 FOR GENERATORS
The Honda EU30iS generator is a premium portable power solution, delivering reliable electricity wherever you need it with maximum efficiency and minimal noise. With a powerful 3000W output and advanced inverter technology, it’s ideal for use in remote locations, caravanning, motorhomes, outdoor events, or as a truly dependable backup power source at home or on-site. Built with lightweight materials such as magnesium and equipped with smooth transport wheels, the EU30iS has been designed for easy handling even when working alone. Its rugged yet compact build makes it perfect for mobile users who require clean, stable power on the move.
This 3.0kW generator features Honda’s renowned GX200 engine, a robust 4-stroke, OHV, single-cylinder unit with a displacement of 196cm³. The engine runs at a maximum speed of 3800rpm and is cooled using a forced air system, ensuring dependable performance even during extended use. It offers both recoil and electric key start options for effortless operation, making it simple to get going in any environment. With a generous 13-litre fuel tank and Eco Throttle technology, the EU30iS can operate for up to 8 hours at rated load, automatically adjusting engine speed to match demand, significantly improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise levels.
Thanks to Honda’s inverter technology, the EU30iS produces a pure sine wave output, making it safe to use with sensitive electronics such as laptops, televisions, and communications equipment. The generator features a 230V single-phase output at 50Hz, with a rated power of 2800W and a current of 12.2A, as well as a 12V DC output capable of delivering up to 12A for battery charging (optional cable required). Noise levels are impressively low at 74 dB(A) at the workstation, with a guaranteed sound power level of 91 dB(A), making it one of the quietest generators in its class.
Designed with practicality in mind, the EU30iS includes features such as oil alert to prevent engine damage by shutting the unit down when oil levels drop too low, and an anti-vibration system using straight engine rubber mounts to reduce wear and tear. Its integrated transport wheels allow for easy mobility across uneven terrain, even if you're operating solo. This generator is also Euro 5 compliant, aligning with current emissions standards for environmentally responsible performance.
The EU30iS measures 658mm in length, 482mm in width, and 570mm in height, with a dry weight of 61.2kg. Despite its power and durability, it remains surprisingly portable and user-friendly. Like all Honda generators, it comes with a rock-solid warranty for both domestic and professional use, covering parts and labour with no reduction in value over time—offering complete peace of mind from day one to the final day of coverage.
Whether you're powering a construction site, camping in the wild, or preparing for emergencies, the Honda EU30iS generator is the ultimate combination of performance, portability, and long-lasting reliability. It's no wonder Honda remains a trusted name in portable power across the UK and beyond.
Supported d by Honda’s legendary build quality, the EU30is is fully Euro 5-compliant, built to meet the latest emissions standards without compromising performance. Whether you're a mobile contractor, an events professional, or a homeowner preparing for the unexpected, the Honda EU30is offers a powerful, quiet, and dependable solution you can rely on.
Every unit is covered by Honda’s 5-year domestic warranty (or 1-year commercial warranty), with full support from a trusted UK dealer network and fast access to genuine Honda EU30is accessories and parts.
The Honda EU30i was a long-time favorite for its portability, but the new Honda EU30is takes 3kW power to a professional level. While both units utilize Honda’s world-class Inverter Technology—essential for safely running sensitive electronics like laptops and TVs—the EU30is provides significant upgrades in user comfort and endurance.
The most notable change is the move to a key-operated electric start, providing effortless ignition compared to the manual pull-start of the previous model. Additionally, Honda has addressed the need for longer "set-and-forget" power; the EU30is features a massive 13-litre fuel tank, extending the maximum runtime from 8 hours to an impressive 20 hours on a single fill.
For users in the UK looking for a silent generator for home backup, mobile catering, or equestrian use, the EU30is remains the gold standard. It operates at a whisper-quiet 49dB(A) and includes modern safety features like Oil Alert™ and CO Minder (on the latest specifications), ensuring your power is not only consistent but safe for indoor-adjacent use. At Just Generators, we recommend the EU30is as the definitive choice for anyone who requires the 3000W output of the old EU30i but demands the reliability of electric start and extended fuel capacity.
Oil Alert: This is a useful function that prevents damage to your engine by automatically shutting the unit down if oil drops below a safe operating level
Transport Wheels: Working on your own? A generator can be a tricky thing to move around. That's why we've added smooth and stable wheel attachments to allow one person to easily manoeuvre the unit.
Electric Start: Key Operated electric start for effortless operation
DC Output: DC Output gives you up to 12A for battery charging. (Please note, an optional cable is required).
Eco Throttle: This is a smart Honda technology that automatically adjusts the engine speed to precisely match the load. This saves fuel, extends engine life and contributes to quieter operation.
Anti Vibration System: Vibration can contribute to wear and tear on your machine. We've added straight engine rubber mounts to reduce mechanical stress on the entire unit
Low Noise: It's so quiet you'll hardly notice it's there. The noise-reducing muffler, casing and acoustic panelling greatly reduce the machine's operational noise.
True Sine Wave inverter technology: The power produced by the Honda EU30iS enables True Sine Wave inverter technology voltage output. This keeps the 230v output within tolerance making it safe to use with electronic equipment like PC’s, laptops TV’s and more besides. The Eco Throttle controls the engine speed automatically and adjusts to match the load for increased efficiency.
Honda's products are built better to last longer. That's why we can offer you a rock-solid warranty for domestic and professional use on our core range products, covering both parts and labour. The warranty also maintains the same value throughout the warranty period - meaning the last day of cover is exactly the same as the first.

Honda Motor Company Limited is a Japanese public multinational corporation primarily known as a manufacturer of cars, motorcycles and power equipment. Honda is also the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year. The company has assembly plants around the globe.
It was back in September 1978 when Honda launched their very first lawn mower in Europe. At that time, standard 2-stroke technology dominated the market, providing noisy, dirty engines that were difficult to maintain. So Honda fitted their lawn mowers with ground-breaking 4-stroke engines; setting new standards of performance, reliability and safety, but they didn’t stop with the engines.
Honda's aim has always been to constantly improve in all areas of design, so they built in hard-wearing durability and long-lasting performance at every stage of the process, from cast iron cylinder sleeves and ball bearings to support the crankshaft, to aerodynamic cutter decks with nylon grass bags for improved airflow and more efficient collection.
For years, Honda have built all their lawn, garden and power equipment around clean 4-stroke engine technology. That’s because they’re committed to making their products as user-friendly, fuel-efficient and reliable as they can, without compromising performance.
Today, Honda have harnessed their design and technology expertise to create a versatile repertoire of lawn, garden and power products from lawn mowers and brush cutters through generators and water pumps to tillers and snow throwers. Their patented Roto-stop feature is their latest benchmark in design, providing complete safety and peace of mind by allowing users to stop their lawn mower blades turning without switching the engine off.
In short, Honda products are quite simply the crème de la crème of garden machinery and power equipment.
