The Honda EU10i was introduced into the UK in 1999, it was an instant success, light weight and high output meant that it was half the weight of the Honda EX1000. Soon after, the EU20i arrived in the UK followed by the EU26i and EU30is

Honda had put a lot of R&D into the EU10i which started with the 2 stroke Honda EX350 and then the EX500. Inverter technology was the future for generators.

Tony Bailey started Phoenix power and equipment in 1988 and quickly became top dealer for the Honda generator range.
Fault diagnostics is his main area of interest so much so that he was the main place for Honda UK to send problem generators, to diagnose and repair.
