Customer Reviews
so what are people saying about this generator, here are some reviews from people who have purchased this item.
“EF2000is review – high quality and very quiet
I have had this for about a month. This is a very high quality unit, nicely designed.”

This generator is super quiet and the engine runs really smoothly. It instantly changes it’s operating speed just as fast as I can move the speed switch on a 1850 watt hair dryer I used to test it. It doesn’t include oil and the angle of the oil fill hole is nearly horizontal, making it a little difficult to fill even with a funnel, but they did put a nice little drip tray right below the opening so it doesn’t go everywhere. The gas gauge is really nice. Made in Japan. Their competitor (Honda) has some nice videos on their website demonstrating the sound level of actual generators running and the equivalent size Honda generator is very close in noise level to this one. Yamaha should do the same but until then, check out the Honda website.
Yamaha says this is CARB compliant on their website so I’m not sure why Amazon says it isn’t. The label on the generator says it is a 3 on the 10 point California emission scale. Yamaha simply isn’t making a big deal of it like some others do I suppose. This is a new model as of summer 2009. The starter cord is really easy to pull – unlike any other engine I’ve ever started by hand. ( source Amazon)
