Pulsar PG2300iS
#11 in SmallFull review
A low-cost carry-handle inverter for tailgating and camping with phones, lights and small appliances. Newer rivals add CO shutoff and longer warranties for little more money.

For owners planning to pair two Honda 2200s for a 30A RV: buy one Companion and one standard EU2200i. On its own, the standard model is the better buy.

Pros

Cons
- Only one standard household outlet

- Costs $100 more than the standard EU2200i
- Not sold in California

For campers and RV owners who want the quietest, most proven small generator and will pay for the Honda name. Budget brands deliver similar watts for much less.

A good buy at clearance prices for RV owners who want a quiet brand-name 2,200 W unit with a built-in 30A RV outlet. Yamaha has stopped making generators, so buy only from a retailer whose terms you accept.
