Great Japanese Build Quality
This generator is huge/heavy but very well made. It is noisy when in operation, nosier than I expected. The included wheel kit is very difficult to install going by included instructions. It came with a defective, from the factory, NGK spark plug, that I replaced for $5. As stated in the description no battery is included, the manual says 12v/30ah or 40ah battery. The included battery cable hookups (automotive style but smaller round) do not fit any battery I could find. Yamaha USA was no help with this when I called.
I had to rig my own nut bolt style for the recommended battery. Overall even with the problems I encountered I would purchase this unit again. R&L carriers that delivered put it in my garage with no help from me during a nasty snow storm, which was greatly appreciated & they are not required to do so its up to you to get it from the curb/road to your house. Mine did come with an hour meter installed even though the description says it has none. Just a FYI this generator is a near copy of the Subaru RGV12100.

Ryan,
Thank you for the feedback. The specs on our site have been updated to show that an hourmeter is included.
"I received much faster than expected and before Christmas which was unexpected but highly appreciated. Unit came well packaged and very well protected."
Runs my whole house. Easy to start. No problems with this unit so far.

Best Generator I Have Ever Owned and I Have Had Hondas But Yamaha Tops Them as Far as Workmanship and Dependably You Buy a Better Generator

Generator
Quiet, well-made, and easy to operate. Packaging and delivery were very good. Wheels are difficult to install; but once installed, the generator moves without much effort.

Love The Generator
Have not had a chance to give it the full test, but it will handle our guest cottage. We were without power for almost 6 days with no running water. Thank God we live on a lake and could take lake baths.
The only disappointment was the advertised free shipping. Generators Direct had a $50 shipping charge added to my credit card. No big deal, but not as advertised.

So Far So Good
I have used the generator once for an event lasting 8 hours. It worked flawlessly supplying 60Amps of power. Only comment I have is that I had to leave the event after 6 hours, run to a gas station and bring back more gasoline. On full load, it only runs for about 6 hours on a full tank.
