POWER & RUN TIME The Honda EG2800i
The Honda EG2800i's core is the 186 cc Honda GC190LA 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120V, it provides a running wattage of 2,500W and a peak wattage of 2,800W.
At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), the inverter generator is started via a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.
The fuel capacity of 2.1 gallons allows the EG2800i to operate for up to 11.9 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.18 GPH).
The EG2800i produces a clean sine wave: thanks to a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), your sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets.
OUTLETS The control panel features the following 3 AC outlets:

CO MINDER CO Minder monitors the ambient CO concentration
Honda's CO Minder is a system that monitors the ambient carbon monoxide concentration, and automatically stops the engine if the sensor detects a CO level of or exceeding 800 parts per million (ppm) at a given time, or an average of 400 ppm for 10 minutes.
A CO alarm indicator will flash for about five minutes, during which it will be impossible to restart the engine.
