Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this at my local small equipment dealer, but thought I would share the differences between the EU2000i and the EU2200i, for those deciding between this model and the EU2000i which is on clearance where still available. In addition to the increase in power, going from 1600W running and 2000W surge in the EU2000i to 1800W and 2200W surge in the EU2200i model. Issues that required workarounds like extended oil drain adaptors etc are no longer needed with the EU2200i. The oil drain now has an extended rubber drain path, so when draining oil it easily goes in your drain pan instead of all over the generator. The fill hole is also much larger, it's now the size of my Honda walk behind mower. The ignition dial now has a fuel shutoff position, just adjacent to the off setting, this allows you to run the carb dry after use without having to empty the float bowl manually. So no gummed up carb to prevent you from a successful next run. There is also increased ventilation along the bottom of the front panel, presumably to keep the inverter and other circuit boards running cooler to avoid that failure path. The engine itself has also increased in capacity, the 2200i uses the 121cc GXR120 engine. Run time remains good with 3.2 hours at full power extending to 8.1 hours when lightly loaded on eco-throttle, with the slightly less than 1 gallon tank. Incredibly quiet at eco throttle with minimalload, noise does increase as you approach its 15A running load capacity. But the unit itself is extremely smooth with no vibrations at full power. Would highly recommend.
