| Electric Generators Direct Recommendation |
| By Electric Generators Direct |
This little Yamaha is the ultimate camping generator. It weights only 27 lbs. Even my wife can carry it around.
Best of all, it's extremely quiet. Most cheaper generators are so loud it upsets your fellow campers. This one, however, purrs like a kitten.
It's so quiet that you can run your lights or tv at night while your neighbors sleep.
Yes, it costs a more. But quality doesn't come cheap. |

| How to Power Sensitive Electronic Devices |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Great video from Down Under. The Aussies did a great job demonstrating the Yamaha EF1000iS Inverter generator.
The Yamaha version is top notch. We also recommend the Honeywell Inverter generators because they retail for a little less.
Either way, you'll be extremely pleased.

| This little guy is terrific in a crunch! |
| By Gary Jones (Cincinnati, OH) |
I bought this generator to power a blender and a fan before Jimmy Buffett concerts. Little did I know how handy it would be when we lost power in the Midwest for 8 days!
I would fill the tank, give it a couple pulls, and it would run my refrigerator (and a fan at night) for 8 hours. I would let it cool off for a couple of hours, fill it back up with gas, and run it some more. It never let me down.
We even used it to charge our battery back-up so we could watch the Steelers-Browns game. The fridge had to fend for itself for a couple of hours, but it was worth it! |

| Yamaha EF1000iS - 900 Watt Inverter Generator Review |
| By Gary Stockton |
Very nice unit and runs as adverised, but seems loader than the Honda unit which specs at the same decibles.
Still relatively quiet and reliable. I have had it for almost a year now. |

| Yamaha EF1000iS - 900 Watt Inverter Generator Review |
| By Glenn Hutchinson |
I got this generator two years ago when my wife was put on a C-PAP for her sleeping disorder. I knew her machine was computerised and we would need clean power to run it.
I first looked at the Honda 1000 watt inverter and was seriously considering it, but I decided to do a little comparing of the different brands first. I'm glad I did! The Yamaha blows the Honda out of the water, longer run time less noise, engine runs at a much slower speed and the 12 volt DC cables are included. They cost extra on the Honda.
I could get the honda from my employer at a discount but it still cost more than the Yamaha did delivered to my door.
We can camp with this generator for a 7 day trip on 5 gal of gas and have some leftover. |

| Yamaha EF1000iS - 900 Watt Inverter Generator Review |
| By Ken Parks |
My Yamaha 1000i is the only one of it's type in my sailing club. Everyone else has a Honda. The Yanaha is by my follow sailing club members the LEAST noisy gernator in the club. We cruise often, and usually use generators to power AC accessories. My Yanaha uses far less fuel than the Honda's, and produces quite a bit less niose. This is especially true when the load is less than 75% of maximum. At full output, the Yamaha and Honda's are about the same noise level, with the Yamaha slightly lower. At 50% oputput, the Yamaha produces considerably less noise than the Honda's.
Best,

| Yamaha EF1000iS - 900 Watt Inverter Generator Review |
| By thomas riemer |
I purchase my Yamaha January 2005 andicipating the upcoming hurricane season. I live in South Florida and boy I am glad I made the purchase.
This little baby ran my 32" Sharp LCD tv, cable box, dvd player, notbook computer, internet & wireless router, 1 ceiling fan and my 18 cu/ft refrigerator. All while sipping on gas.
Best yet, it is quite as a curch mouse. All my neighbors were wondering why I had power. It served me well through both Katrina and Wilma.
It can literally run many days on 5 gallons of gas. It cost me pennies to compared to the dollars it cost my friends to run their loud cheapo's they bought at the building supply stores.
This year I've bought a 5000 btu air conditioner for my bedroom and will alternate between refrigerator (day) and ac (evening) if necessary. |

| Yamaha EF1000iS - 900 Watt Inverter Generator Review |
| By Vaughn Simon |
An absolutely amazing machine. This is the smallest, quietest, most gas-frugal generator you should ever consider for home standby use. Consider that the normal generator that you buy at a home improvement store is terribly loud and can drink up to one gallon an hour even with only a partial load. At $3 per gallon, that could be $500 per week! Now the EF1000is has much less capacity than those other generators, but if you are willing to live within its limitations, you will have a sewing-machine hum rather than a Briggs&Straton roar and a 5 gallon can of gas will last you for days rather than hours.
I connected ours to a 15 cubic foot apartment-sized refrigerator and it ran for 14 hours on a full tank (Only .66 Gallon!) On a larger 22 cubic foot side-by-side refrigerator, the same test yielded 11 hours of operation. Naturally, it will also run other modest loads such as computers, lights, fans, and TV sets. You just must use common sense to live within its limitations
As I said this is the smallest generator you should consider for home backup use. there are also larger inverter generators available that will give you more capacity (and depending on your needs may be a better choice), but also will burn a bit more fuel in the process. Fuel is not only expensive, but it can be very scarce following a disaster. |
