I think the main reason its 1 foot tall is because the real one is 2 foot and the average person is that much smaller than an nba player. Or maybe im reading into this too much and theyre just being cheap
We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Ya there not that great I have one ran it 1 time as a brake in and it sat for a 6 weeks went to start it it was hell-a hard 40 pulls screwing around it finally started would I buy again ahhh probably not would I tell a friend to buy it no. Its just ok nothing great if it craps out again its going back.
I was wandering what kind of water heater you have..Usually they are 240vac two phase..That generator is single phase 120 vac..Besides that the water heaters consume much power than the one that generator provides...Clarify me please..
It's a gas water heater. AC power is only needed to control it (powers the control circuitry, firing, and exhaust blower). Probably uses much less than 100 W.
Great Generator. Good Job during Hurricane Fiona and 12 days after. Remember...1st oíl change 30 hours next ones every 50 hours. Change spark plug at 200 hours . Clean air filter at 200 hours with soap water..then use a little engine oíl on filter..remove excess...That is to capture fine dust. Do this and this Generator Will last for years.
Just got one, price now 569 before tax, I am assuming since Costco is still carrying them a year later, that means their reliability/return rate is good/low, hopefully. The noise levels on this and the Champion 2000 are both comparable to the Honda EU2000, and price is about half the Honda. Note that if these are used regularly then you really have to know about their maintenance otherwise they stop working after a few months. 0. change oil after running first tank of gas, break-in engine at 25-50% load for first 5 hours, 1. use Stabil fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol fuel from clogging the carburetor, 2. do not run on dirt surface so that dirt gets sucked into air intake, run only on level surface 3. buy spare spark plugs and get familiar with how to check and change spark plug, 4. if storing for a long time, empty the gas tank and drain the carburetor bowl, and take out the spark plug and squirt some oil into cylinder and pull cord once or twice 5. eventually the carburetor my get clogged if old fuel is used without Stabil additive, at this point is when generators usually are tossed and a new one bought. Cleaning the carburetor is not too hard, but each model seems to be different in how to get to the carburetor jet, not sure about this model, I had a Firman and it was a bear. There are lots of youtube howto videos on generator carburetor cleaning, it seems one could make some good money doing this as a service business at any RV park haha.
Dude read your manual first. Inverter generators and any small engine needs to be broken in properly, The rings need to properly seated so do not use synthetic oil until after the first 100 hours. Also don't skimp on extension cords, your cords are light duty and will ruin your generator by causing the inverter overheat and will damage electronics for the same reason. Go with 12AWG cords or 10AWG or high demand loads. The small Yamaha inverter generators and Yamaha clones use a 79cc engine which I consider to be underpowered. I spent more and purchased the Honda eU2200i a lot more. It's engine is 53% larger than the Yamaha and the Honda parts are reasonable. The Yamaha service centers are few and far between while Honda service centers are ubiquitous. If you have health issues and need to run medical equipment or flooding problems and need to run pumps, spend the money and go with Honda as they last a very long time and start every time with proper maintenance. Good luck, but read the manual. It is also very difficult to find online sources to purchase a Yamaha online as these engines have a higher failure rated, and the dealers do not want to be bothered with returns. Even the big box stores stopped carrying Yamaha.
Would had been nice if after you connected everything, you showed how much was been drain ( to get an idea of what % of power was been used) from the generator power level. Overall real good video.
All good information. Amazing that a few nimrods would turn it political. No place for that and really need to get a life. Who gives if something is from China? If it works and it’s a solid product, I’ll get it! The Chinese make the best Drones. I’ll take one any day over the bland “merican”crap
This is not a Yamaha generator, it uses a light duty engine made in China. If you want a real Yamaha then buy a real Yamaha, 12-14 hundred dollars for 21-22 hundred watts.
