I was not aware of that - guess I should bite the bullet quick.

>>...The 2000 Honda is NOT listed in the new flyer! they dropped that model so getem now or don't getem at all. >>>
===========

Hard to believe, it's very popular, good seller, good reviews, etc. :)

And such a sensible combination of size/weight, noise level, output capacity and safety for a portable generator.

I dunno.........I find it VERY hard to believe the eu2000i has been dropped from Hondas product line. :o

You heard it here first. I even dug threw all my sales flyers to double check. NO honda EU2000 in the new Canadian sales flyer!!! All they have for inverters is : EU3000isCAO- EU1000iC and an EX500C. Thats all folks,no more ,nada,Kaput. They dropped the rest of the inverter line. EG.3000 pull start,2000. They don't have a 2000 series at all any more. It goes from an EM/EZ1800 to an EM/EZ2500 and nothing in between!!! Don't ask me why? Must be some reason. Too good or too handy or something brillint like that! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news so like I said before "Getem while you can".......Rick and Karen:sick

That could be why I got the following numbers when asking specifically for an EU2000 last week:

EM2500 $1429.00 (952.00US) and EM3000 $1489.00 (992.00US)

I'll probably locate and buy the EU2000 locally next week or so, depending on funds.

Rick:

Glad you are happy with your 3000.

At 134lbs it's not in the same market as the EU2000 at 47lbs.

Because the EU2000 is not listed in your canadian sales flyers, can you rightly assume that it's been dropped from production?

Just asking......:)

I did a search on the Honda Canada website and the EU2000iC is still listed and available at various dealers.

I would think if Honda Canada was still selling them up here they would have included it in the rest of their lineup considering they list the spec's for 22 different models, would you not?:conf I don't think that they would have too many people pounding down their doors asking them for a model they don't advertise anymore!

maybe it's an EPCOR conspiracy! ;)

(I'll let you know what I find out from my purchase.....)

Well, not according to Mayberry's. I spoke to them this morning and they were surprised to hear that such a rumor was going around. They said they have plenty of them and are selling plenty of them, too. No word has come to them about dropping it from the line. Since it's one of the best-selling machines Honda makes they don't think Honda will stop making it.

BTW, they are $859USD, including shipping to PA and no state sales tax.

Decided to call Honda direct. They were shocked to hear that a rumor was going around about the demise of the 2000. No, it has not been discontinued and there are NO such plans in the works.

Thanks Robert for checking, We have had one for a year and a half.
It is light enough that I can let Marlene get it out of the truck by herself. If we had a 3000 i guess i would have to get up and help her.

I guess Honda Canada doesn't intend to kill a cash cow.

Here is the current (Canada) web site for the eu2000iC.

Went to a Honda dealer today - they wanted 1689.00 CDN (~1125.00 US) for the EU2000 which I think is the listed MSRP if memory serves. Thanks for that phone number to Mayberry's, I'll check into it further.

The guy that Sue knows thru work (he is a wholesaler) quit his job, so that avenue is bust..............

For $1700.00 I think I would buy another set of batteries and a Soler Panel along with a inverter.Hook up whole mess and put RV shore plug into inverter.Whamo, everthing now 110 volt.;)

Chester:

Have you priced a 1,600w inverter, along with enough solar panels/batteries to power an 8,000btu AC for 24 hrs/day?

And of course you've got the Casita parked in the shade???

I think your campsite will look like you just robbed an Ace Hardware store. :)

Hi PC Don

George suggested I contact Don @ Mayberry's and I have done so a few minutes ago - waiting for an answer re: pricing, potential warranty issues, shipping, duties, etc.
