Honda generators across the Economy, Deluxe, Industrial and Super Quiet Series now integrate CO-Minder enhancements, meaning all models meet ANSI/PGMA G300-2023 safety and performance standards. theEU7000iS 49-state model to be available in September 2025.
Honda engineers recalibrated and reprogrammed the CO sensor to automatically shut down a generator immediately when it detects 600 ppm of carbon monoxide at the generator, or if it detects a 10-minute CO average of 400 ppm.
Honda was the first in the industry to commit to installing CO detection systems on its full line of generators.
Millions of Americans depend on generators for work, home, play and for emergency home backup during power outages. Safety rules specify that these products must be used outdoors and away from windows and doors to prevent the buildup of CO, a colorless, odorless, tasteless and deadly gas. Even outdoors, CO can accumulate to life-threatening levels in certain locations with little air movement. Yet, the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association (PGMA) notes that year after year, people still suffer carbon monoxide poisoning, and even death, because of improper usage of portable generators.
