Yamaha 2,800-Watt 5.5 HP Portable Generator #YG2800IH

If you want a generator that you can carry by yourself, this is a good choice. It is designed to be light and quiet and meets those goals quite well. The YG2800IH is a 2800 watt generator which uses inverter technology with a sixteen-pole rotor with twenty-four coil stator and Pulse Width Modulation inverter. It’s ideal for equipment that requires stable frequency and voltage. Voltage output stability is so "clean" that it can power laptops or sophisticated electronics, a feature that most generators cannot duplicate.

When power demand power is low, the generator runs at a low engine speed, then, as power demand increases, engine speed increases in a corresponding power curve. It can handle two refrigerators, the circulating pumps for the heat, lights and the TV, all at the same time without any problem. This generator is relatively quiet, quite efficient, and very reliable. When you run it at slow idle, which is all you need for backup, it only consumes about 6 gallons of gas per 24 hours.

One of our friend bought this generator to power their RV and have had absolutely no trouble with it for 5 years now. Here’s what they had to say about it……….

“It runs our AC unit and that is what we wanted. It is super easy to carry around, I can do it myself and I'm a medium sized woman. We did not buy a bigger one because of the extra weight and have never been sorry. If I need to use the microwave or the electric water heater, I shut off the AC and run the other stuff. It is pretty quiet when compared to other generators in camp and it starts up easily every time, no matter how long it has been. We usually find it takes a fill up on fuel after about 7 hours of running and does fine if you have to run it continuously for days at a time. We would buy it again, and recommend it to other campers.”
