What the raw specs tell you
These are calculations from the listed specifications, not additional manufacturer ratings.
Weight per kVA
21.5 kg of listed weight per rated kVA. This represents one of the heavier designs per unit of rated output in this dataset.
Engine power / rated output
1.12 kW of listed engine power per kVA of nominal generator output. This is a simple specification ratio, not an electrical efficiency rating.
Listed production span
8 years based on the supplied 2002-2009 range — a fairly long listed production run.

Honda EU 26 i FAQ
These answers change with the model’s actual figures and its position within the Honda dataset.
Is the Honda EU 26 i a high-output generator?
Its 2.6 kVA nominal output is below the middle of the Honda dataset (24th percentile). It is better described as a lower-output Honda model than one of the larger-output units.
Is the Honda EU 26 i easy to move?
Not especially. At 123.5 lb (56 kg), this is a substantial machine rather than something most people would want to carry repeatedly. Within this Honda dataset it sits at the 34th percentile for weight.
Does the Honda EU 26 i have a good power-to-weight ratio?
It works out to about 21.5 kg per rated kVA. Compared with the other Honda models that have both figures available, that represents a relatively heavy package for each unit of rated output. This is only a weight/output comparison, not a fuel-efficiency or electrical-efficiency measurement.
Does the Honda EU 26 i have electric start?
No electric starter is listed. That means you should not assume push-button starting from these specifications; check the exact market/version if starting method matters.
Is the Honda EU 26 i a quiet or silenced generator?
The supplied equipment data marks the model as silenced. That suggests noise-reduction treatment is part of the configuration, but no dB rating is provided here, so the specs do not support a precise loudness claim.
Does the Honda EU 26 i have low-oil protection?
Yes. Automatic oil-deficiency shutdown is listed, adding protection against continued operation when oil level is too low.
How does the Honda EU 26 i engine size relate to its generator output?
The listed engine power is 2.9 kW against 2.6 kVA nominal generator output, a simple ratio of about 1.12 kW of engine power per rated kVA. That ratio is useful for comparing specification layouts, but kW of engine power and kVA of electrical output are different quantities and should not be treated as a direct efficiency calculation.
