Compact in design, the Honeywell 2000-6066
gas-powered portable inverter generator is designed for life on the
road. Its durable, lightweight design with built-in handle offers
portable power for camping, tailgating, and recreational use. The
2000-6066 features inverter technology that reduces the size, weight,
and noise of the generator and allows for the engine to run at varying
speeds, significantly reducing the noise and fuel consumption levels.
And its special electronic microprocessor can also provide safe, stable
power for sensitive electronic devices such as computers.
The
2000-6066 provides a reliable 2,000-watt power supply wherever you need
it and a maximum power output of 2,250 watts, and yet it's 40 percent
lighter than a standard generator of equal wattage output. It features
Honeywell's exclusive EcoMode feature, which saves fuel and reduces
noise after startup by adjusting engine speed to meet demand. If the
power needs are low, the engine will run more slowly, resulting in a
quieter and more fuel-efficient unit.
Note for California residents: This model is not CARB-compliant. Units sold to California must be CARB-compliant.
The
case is fully enclosed for quiet operation--making it campground
friendly--and its integrated handle makes it easy to move from car to
camp site. It's equipped with a 4-stroke, 126-cc OHV (overhead valve)
engine, which features a low-oil shutdown system to prevent engine
damage and keep the generator in good shape for long-term use.
This
generator's 1-gallon fuel tank will give you up to 4.7 hours of
operation at a 50-percent load. Other features include splash
lubrication, 12-volt battery charging capability, and electronic
overload protection. It's backed by a 2-year residential warranty, and a
6-month warranty when used for commercial purposes.
Inverter Wattage Needs
When
choosing a portable generator, it's important to identify the starting
watts of all the devices you might power at the same time. Some devices
draw additional power as they get up and running. If this additional
wattage is not accounted for, system overload can result. To determine
your requirements for a portable generator, see this
wattage chart sample.
How Inverter Technology Works
Inverter
generators utilize a different type of alternator than standard
generators to generate AC power. The raw power produced is converted
from DC to AC power by a computer-controlled inverter module. The engine
speed varies depending on the electrical demand, which significantly
reduces noise and fuel consumption compared to a standard portable
generator. The end result is a portable generator with reduced weight
and size, and power that is ultra-clean and capable of safely powering
sensitive electronics.
