Trusted in Emergencies

Powered by Honda Reliability

This NorthStar generator uses a top-of-the-line, commercial-grade Honda engine. This amazingly reliable, smooth-running engine provides everything you need on the job or in emergencies — easy-start convenience, improved power, greater fuel efficiency, longer run times and quieter operation.

Backed by Honda Durability

With an outstanding 3-year limited warranty, the Honda GX engine adds even more value to your NorthStar generator. You get smooth, robust performance plus years of worry-free dependability.

Clean Power Keeps Electronics and Appliances Safe

Today's appliances and electronics need clean power to run effectively. Clean power is smooth, steady power with low harmonic distortion. With less than 5% harmonic distortion at full load — the same as electricity from the utility company — this NorthStar generator provides reliable performance whenever you need it. Other brands advertise no load distortion levels yet actually have distortion levels as high as 20-30% at full load. Be sure to compare distortion levels at full load rating.

Engineered To Perform

Copper Heads Are Worth their Weight in Gold

Generator heads are often overlooked when it comes to choosing a generator. But their importance is key. NorthStar generators use oversized generator heads with 100% copper windings to provide the ultimate reliability and performance. Unlike other brands that use aluminum heads, we use copper-wound heads to allow your generator to run at full load continuously for weeks, if necessary, without the risk of overheating.

Less Vibration Means Less Wear, Longer Life

Excessive vibration is enemy number one to generators, causing premature wear and failure of generator components. Our advanced V-mount vibration isolation system helps create a solid foundation to extend generator life, adding optimum flexibility and support. Captive vibration isolation mounts protect the generator when being transported and an optimized vibration control system provides smoother operation and less metal fatigue.

More Outlets Handle More Jobs

When you're facing a power outage or a demanding project, it's good to have options and this NorthStar generator gives you plenty. A full bank of up to 11 outlets allow you to power more tools, appliances and essentials than other brands. Plus, a built-in volt meter provides feedback at a glance.

Fully Equipped

High Performance, Low Maintenance

This NorthStar generator is designed with all the extra features you need to keep power going in tough times. An extended run fuel tank reduces refilling and power interruptions. Variable Timing Digital CDI ignition offers excellent starting and high-power output. Tubular full steel roll cage construction with anti-rip V-mounts provide rock-solid protection. Locking plug outlets allow for easy connection to a transfer switch to get power up and running in minutes. You can also add a wheel kit for maximum portability.

Built To Last

Over 1000 Hours of Testing

Nobody tests generators more than we do. NorthStar engineers test each generator design to the point of failure to make sure your generator won't fail you.

A test report is included with every generator to verify it is as good as the one we tested.
