Iam looking to get one of those quiet honda generators. I want it to run just one set of T-2 warmers. My question is what size generator do I need...Honda EU 1000i or EU 2000i. ....will the 1000 work?
2000 is best. warmers pull 1200 watts on average and even if your's pull 1000 you'll be maxing the 1000 out (not good).
I tried my buddy's Honda EU1000 with my DMP tire warmers. It tripped with both warmers on - would only run one warmer Suggest you get the EU2000 - then you can run both warmers and a fan
I have the EU2000 and it works great! Honda Power Equiptment card has 0 interest, 0 payments and 0 down for 12 months right now too!
Anybody have any experience running 2 sets of warmers on a Honda 2000? I believe it should work. I was at Grattan Sat with a buddies borrowed 6250 watt gen and it's kinda loud....so loud that the kind gentlemen next to us...sorry I didn't get your name asked us if we would rather plug into his motorhome outlet and kill our screaming generator. We did and it was just about as quiet as a church......thanks again.
Hey Razr, If you are looking for a quiet generator I will have the new Yamaha EF2000is invertor for sale @ Nelson Ledges.
+1 on the Yamaha's. You can carry them on your shoulder like a boom box. No problems with a set of Chicken Hawks and a fan.
It works, but keep an eye on things. We had some small issues where the warmers weren't heating quite as much as with one set plugged in. We ended up going to a 3k watt generator just to be safe. Plus we could then run fans and such as well. YRMV.
Yep, no problems, and tack on a fan, coffee perk, A 1000 your cutting it close, and if you want to run other stuff, your maxed out, just get the 2000.
my .02. 2000 watts isn't enough for two sets of warmers. they will work but they will not get hot. you need at least 3000 watt for 2 sets.
Agreed. Your warmers might be different. We ran two sets of Woodcrafts this year and they didn't get as hot with two sets, as they did with one. This was with the Honda EU2000. We've now got the Yamaha 3000 and it's no problem (with both Woodcrafts and Chicken Hawks). Like I said though, your results may vary.
Funny, we did it for years and all our tires got hot, thanks though for telling me they were actually cold, Matter of fact, we tried 3 sets but that popped the breaker, so we ran 2 sets and one front, :up:
