Honda currently makes four lines of portable generators – the EU, EB, EG, and EM series. The main differences among them are their intended use and how they try to conserve fuel, so they can run longer on a single tank of gas.

The EU series (click for more info) of Honda generators features several machines with inverter technology. The EG series as well as the EB and EM have large gas tanks. The EB series generators and the EM that I’ll discuss below each use Auto Throttle to use less fuel when the load is decreased.
