Yamaha Inverter Generator - Buying Considerations And Research

By Adrian Fletcher

Yamaha is one of the most trusted names in the world of motorized vehicles from motor bikes to cars. It is also developing a pretty good reputation in the field of power tools.

So it's doesn't raise too many eyebrows to learn that the Yamaha Inverter Generator is a good, solid make of portable power generator that can provide both AC and DC current. However, since there are a number of different Yamaha Inverter Generator models which one do you go for ?

In fact you will find around 15 - 20 different models to choose from so what should you look for when getting a Yamaha portable generator? For me, it comes down to price, portability, output and how it will be used.

How The Generator Is Used

How you plan to use your Yamaha Inverter Generator will probably be the largest deciding factor, next to price, in determining which model to go for. After all, questions like portability and capacity of the generator are answered when you know what you will be using it for. For example, will you be using this generator in an industrial workplace or purely for personal home use?

For example, in a private residence, a generator is often used to keep certain household appliances running such as the refrigerator, freezer. In some cases it might power life critical support systems for sick people who are being cared for at home rather than a hospital. However, it would be unlikely that a generator could power an entire home for long and it would also work out to be expensive in terms of fuel. for industrial uses, you might use a Yamaha Inverter Generator at a construction site where power tools and temporary accommodation might need power.

Yamaha has a good selection of generators for both personal and industrial uses as well as accompanying accessories and adapters. For consumers, there is the Yamaha E2600 generator which can be found at a great price, can power up to 2600 watts (enough for several appliances) for about eleven hours on one tank of gas. There are higher end consumer models up to 6600 watts. They all come under the EF series name and the number besides the EF basically represents the power output in watts that the generator can produce. You can get a EF1000 through to an EF6600. The cost goes up based on the power output.

Of course the generator will have other features which affect the price and use. Is it noisy ? You want a quiet one if you are planning to install it in the suburbs but maybe not so on a construction site. How much power do you get for a tank of gas ? Is it easy to move around or start up. all these things should be considered.

There are models that are more suited to industrial needs too. Each one, like the consumer models, has a high end output and different lengths of time one tank of gas will operate it. Knowing the maximum load that you will need is vital to select either a consumer or industrial type of generator.

Where To Buy The Yamaha Inverter Generator

You'll find a portable generator of some flavor in your hardware store. You can really have a good look at it and touch it, feel how heavy it is etc. However, in terms of variety and even a better deal you may want to look on the internet.

Certainly the internet is a great source to check out all the Yamaha models. It will probably provide a better deal too but factor in shipping to arrive at a final price. - 15485
