  • Westinghouse iGen10000AS vs Honda EU70is: The Better Generator for Food Trucks and Trade?

Westinghouse iGen10000AS vs Honda EU70is: The Better Generator for Food Trucks and Trade?

Perception Lighting   10 October 2026 

Westinghouse iGen10000AS vs Honda EU70is: The Better Generator for Food Trucks and Trade?

The Honda EU70is has long been the default choice for food trucks, coffee vans and trades who need serious quiet power. It is a good generator, but it is no longer the only option at this size. The Westinghouse iGen10000AS makes more power, carries more fuel and weighs less, for around $2,000 less at typical retail prices.

PriceThe iGen10000AS is around $2,000 less at typical retail prices

Honda figures are from Honda Australia's published EU70is specifications. Prices vary by retailer.

Why running watts matter most

Starting watts cover the short surge when a motor or compressor kicks in. Running watts are what the generator can supply all day, and that is the number your equipment lives on. The iGen10000AS gives you 8,200 W running, about 2,700 W more than the EU70is. In a food truck, that is the difference between running the coffee machine and the fryer together, or switching one off to use the other.

Built for food trucks and coffee vans

  • Enough for a full service: 8,200 running watts handles a commercial coffee machine, fryer, bain-marie and fridges at once. A typical single-phase 2 or 3 group coffee machine draws 3,000 to 6,000 W.
  • A 32 amp outlet: big equipment on a 32 amp plug can run straight from the generator, and the outlet delivers nearly the full output through one lead.
  • Through a whole shift: the 30 litre tank runs up to 19.8 hours at 1/4 load and 7.3 hours at full load, so you are not refuelling mid-service.
  • Quiet near customers: 58 dB(A) at 1/4 load, measured at 7m.
  • Clean power: pure sine wave output with less than 2.5% total harmonic distortion, safe for EFTPOS terminals, tablets, laptops and digital controls on your equipment.

Built for work sites and workshops

  • Runs welders, compressors, saws and site lighting from the one unit.
  • Electric start with wired and wireless remote controls.
  • 2-wire auto start lets a backup controller or off-grid inverter-charger start and stop it by itself.
  • Many work sites require an RCD-protected generator. For site work, choose the iGen10000PRO, which has a built-in RCD safety switch approved for workplace use.

How to size a generator for your truck or site

  1. List every appliance or tool you will run at the same time.
  2. Add up their running watts, from the compliance plate or manual.
  3. Note anything with a motor or compressor, such as fridges, freezers and air compressors. They draw a surge on start-up, which the starting watts need to cover.
  4. Leave some headroom. A generator running flat out all day works harder, uses more fuel and is louder.
  5. Check your plugs. Equipment on a 32 amp plug needs a 32 amp outlet.

The verdict

If you want more power for your money, the Westinghouse iGen10000AS beats the Honda EU70is on running power, fuel capacity and weight, and it costs less. For food trucks, coffee vans, markets and workshops, it is the one we recommend. For work sites that require RCD protection, go the iGen10000PRO.
