Cypress, CA (2/10/2009)
- Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., today launched
the lightweight, fuel-efficient EF2000iS generator.
The latest model in Yamaha's inverter generator
lineup and the result of three years of research
and development, the EF2000iS provides a practical,
versatile machine that can go anywhere with
ease.
The EF2000iS is a quiet, long-running device
with a new retro-modern design and - like all
Yamaha generators - the most advanced Yamaha
technology and performance. Weighing in at only
44 pounds, this mighty mouse has enough power
to run a microwave oven or a television - making
your campsite a much more comfortable place
to be.
"The EF2000iS is a perfect generator for
RV owners, whether they have a built-in generator
or not," said Colin Iwasa, power equipment
sales manager at Yamaha. "Onboard generators
in motorized RVs are used to run air conditioners
about 20% of the time during a campout; the
other 80% of the time you need much less power
to run the TV, satellite system, lights, other
small appliances or to charge the battery. No
need to power up the big onboard generator -
you can run your little EF2000iS all night long
on less than a gallon of gas."
Using a smaller, portable generator saves gas,
pollutes less and eliminates the uncomfortable
vibration created by larger generators in the
motor home. And you, as well as your neighbors,
will appreciate how quiet it is.
The EF2000iS is also equipped with a parallel-use
function, making it compatible with Yamaha's
TwinTech or Reliance Control's Sidewinder Parallel
Kit to double generator power. This is especially
helpful when additional power is needed to accommodate
a wider range of uses, such as running air conditioners
and larger appliances in a towable travel trailer.
Its small size, ease of use and versatile handling
make the EF2000iS a perfect appliance away from
the campsite as well. It can be used at home
as a standby generator to run your refrigerator,
TV, lights or microwave oven, or provide power
for anywhere from construction sites to flea
markets to running outdoor sound systems.
Yamaha, always conscious of eco-friendly practices,
designed the EF2000iS to meet the strictest
California CARB Tier III emissions standards.
Additionally, 90% of the parts on this generator
can be recycled into other materials.
"The same engineering and technology that
goes into Yamaha's motorcycles and outboard
motors is also built into our generators,"
said Iwasa. "Our top quality engineering
gives the generators outstanding durability
- the new EF2000iS has a longer engine life
rating than all competitors in its class."
The EF2000iS will be available for purchase
in early June at local Yamaha generator dealers;
retail price is $1,099.00. To see Yamaha's entire
