See full version: What can you run on a Honda EU2200i generator
The Honda EU2200i is more than enough to provide you with enough power to get you through a blackout with the capabilities of running two in parallel for 4400 watts of power. Running up to 9.6 hours on a single tank of gas allows of uninterrupted overnight usage.
Secondly, what appliances can I run on a 2000 watt generator? A 2000 watt generator could power a 500 watt deep freezer and one element of the electric stove. Or you could run the freezer, cook with a 650 watt microwave (using 1000 watts) and a few lights. The typical electric range with 8” elements will use all 2000 watts if you use it while connected to the generator.

Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property.
If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.
If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.
I have two responses. First, I’ve seen generators and engines in service for years suffer from just this type of exhaust-system-design failure. Why it took seven or 10 years to occur is anyone’s guess; nothing about the system appeared to have been changed, although apparently something about the way it was used caused the flooding. more
If the anti-siphon loop can’t be mounted high enough, the valve may be located higher in the boat and plumbed to the loop apex with a small-diameter hose. [links]
When I challenge builders on this subject, I often hear the refrains, “That’s the way we’ve always done it,” and, “It’s never been a problem before.” more
Finally, seawater supplies to generators are another area where manufacturer instructions are often disregarded or only partially observed. Beginning with the intake, generators should not be equipped with scoop strainers (hull strainers are covered in detail in Professional BoatBuilder No. 127), as this arrangement might force water into a generator that is not running when a boat is under way. Ideally, and where practicable, strainers installed inside the boat should be mounted below the waterline to reduce the likelihood of air locks. Hose for seawater supply, from seacock to the generator and in anti-siphon valves, should be specifically rated for the application, preferably designated J2006R Raw Water and Wet Exhaust Hose. An even more conservative approach will include wire reinforcement, making the hose virtually crush- and kink-proof as well as resistant to flattening when exposed to high vacuum (during an intake clog, for instance).

When it was excessively hot, we found an RV park to hold up in to run the air conditioner on shore power, or we headed to higher elevations where it was cooler. Recently, however, I have been traveling to speaking engagements during the summer, finding myself in hotter climates more often with no high country to seek relief during uncomfortable hot spells.
Given the desire to stay cool, press releases and blogs about the SoftStartRV system have piqued my interest in being able to run my air conditioner on a smaller generator. SoftStartRV advertises it can reduce the current required to start your RV’s air conditioning by up to 70%. This reduction in power allows RVers to start and run their air conditioner with a smaller generator like a 2,000 or 2,200, negating the need to haul around a bigger generator like a 3,000-watt or run two smaller generators in parallel.
However, since it is also 3-5° cooler for every thousand feet of elevation gain, the two might balance each other out. The generator might not run the air conditioner at 10,000-foot elevation, but it is unlikely it will ever be hot enough that I need to do so. Stay tuned as I head off into hotter parts of the country this summer. Staying cool without having to carry a hundred-pound generator, just another adventure in RVing! [links]
