Yamaha Generators Are Known For Their Reliability!Yamaha generators have always been our favorite make of 'genny' and we have had a few of them over the years. We've always had to provide generators on the jobsites for the boys, and these have had to be not only tough, but provide enough power for the portable air compressor as well as run the power tools. They really do get a rough time as some of the employees are a bit careless, but so far they have stood up really well to this treatment. They don't seem to mind being bounced around in the back of the truck either, although we do stand it on a special cushioning mat. Because we have had such luck with Yamaha generators we decided to purchase one of their small, compact Inverters to take away with us when we go camping up to the Lakes. We don't need a huge amount of power, or else we would take one of the work generators. We bought an EF2400iS which has been an absolute gem of a generator. We were a little apprehensive at first thinking that we would be disappointed with the downsizing but we needn't have worried. This is one of the newest of the Yamaha generators, and it has a computer controlled inverter which is responsible for the high-quality of electricity that they produce. We have had plenty of fellow campers admiring its looks, and then its performance after they witness how quiet and efficient it is. This range of Yamaha generators are just made for recreational use. They have a couple of larger models and one smaller one, but we worked out that around 2000 watts was all we would need. We chose Yamaha generators for our work generators because they have proven themselves to us over the years. We have their largest model in our workshop which runs the table saw, all our drills as well as the air compressor. This is their EF12000DE model and it does a great job. On the odd occasion that we have a blackout we take this one home and hook it into a transfer switch. We can then run most of our home without any problems. We also have a 6600D model that goes wherever it is needed out on the job. It's easy to spot Yamaha generators because of their distinctive color and looks, but they have been able to match these good looks with all the features that we need in a generator - performance, fuel economy and durability. Our generators have to work hard, most of the week, so reliability has always been high on our list for generators. We have had different makes and models in the past, and had good luck with some and very bad luck with others. We have really become fans of Yamaha in the last couple of years because their generators are so sensible and easy to use and when you ask them to do something they jump into action and produce the power needed. |
