The generator is used to power an air conditioner on our racing dog trailer. It is very easy to start, good on fuel, and provides more than adequate power.
It is a little noisier than I anticipated but not nearly as noisy as some others I have looked at.

Wow, Unpacked the Generator out of the very secure shipping box. Gave it a check over as per the Instructions Manual. Filled crankcase with the Yamaha lube oil to the correct level supplied. Checked air cleaner. Filled the fuel tank with unleaded fuel. Gave it two pulls, and away it went. Let it run for a couple of minutes to make sure that it was all good. Then plugged into my Caravan, started the Air Conditioning, then Fridge, lights, all good. Heaps of Power. Shut it all down and let my Wife start it, I pull and it was away. She couldn’t believe how easy it was. Also very light to lift up Into the back of my Landcruiser.
I was looking at the Honda EFI2200 before I Purchased the YAMAHA EF2800I, sure glad that I looked at the YAMAHA before I made my decision.
Guys, Check them out before you buy a Generator. Don’t be fooled by the other compact options, this Generator is not much bigger or heavier than the compact style models, and has tonnes of Power, Bigger fuel tank, is an Inverter. Just check them out “FIRST” before you buy a Generator.

Only used once, but it has demonstrated its ability to “top up” my solar batteries and drive my workshop tools. Its ability to vary the output according to the demand is ideal for staged charging of the batteries down to “float” charge.

We’re on acreage in the Blue Mountains and prone to all manner of weather (rain, thunderstorms, hail, bush fires etc) and power failures (scheduled and unscheduled). Last month, we were notified by our local Electricity company that power to our street would be out for 8 hours. We hooked up the Yamaha 2800w (as we’d done with our previous genie)……..gave it a rip…….and…nothing. My husband and I eventually read the manual (duh!) and had to flip this up and switch that this way and gave it another rip…and worked first time, humming away very nicely (much quieter then our previous genie). This easily powered up 2 large fridges, 1 bar freezer, the washing machine (I was mid spin cycle before I remembered the power was going off!), our coffee percolator, nutri-bullet and my husbands iphone. There was no impact on the performance of the generator during the outage. After power was restored 8 hours later, we checked the petrol usage in the genie and it was still 75% full. So efficient! We have another scheduled 8 hour outage next month so we’re confident that the Yamaha 2800w will see us through again. We’re very happy with our purchase. Highly recommended.

Great unit, my old generator broke down while I was visiting my daughter in Sedan SA , l went to Bunnings in Murray Bride and purchased a Full Boar 2200kva generator, when starting this unit up it didn’t have enough KVAs to run my air conditioner. I returned it to Bunnings for a credit. My wife was in Perth and googled My Generators on line and said that the reviews on the Yamaha were good. She wanted me to buy a 2400kva Yamaha. In the end we bought the 2800 inverter and this does everything we need to run, it’ll even run the air and hot water system at the same time . GREAT UNIT. Regards Pieter Lips. WA

I’ve upgraded my switchboard so I can connect the generator to my house. The number of appliances we can run is amazing. Two freezers, two fridges, ceiling fans throughout the house and even our washing machine. The long run time on a single tank is fantastic and the additional 240v outlet comes in really handy. The build quality and reliability is outstanding. Anyone buying this generator will not be disappointed.

Used twice since purchase on two power outages and it performed really well. Last night’s outage lasted 10 hours and it ran the full household flawlessly. In my opinion Yamaha=efficiency and piece of mind. My older 1kva Yamaha is now 25years old and being well used still gives great service. I feel confident this one will be even better….

I have used portable and fixed in-situ generators in Oz and remote Pacific Islands since late 1960s.
This Yamaha 2800 EF invertor generator, in my opinion, has to be one of the best, efficient, dependable, compact, value for money small portable gennies I have owned.
Highly recommended for standby in times of cyclones etc… we have rooftop solar which is very dependable but haven’t installed powerwalls. This Yammy supplements our power needs and ensures our DOT NBN is powered and also ensures power to charge 12V deep cycle batteries for standby fridges, freezers etc. great sense of standby security. 5/5. Follow the instruction manual, pls. Brian.

Using the generator for a power back up at a bush farm. Tried the generator out, easy instructions. Powered two fridge/freezers, lights, TV etc. Has an economy load function which meant generator revved up when switching on high watt items – microwave, kettle. Very pleased with product.

We are off the grid. Generator is used to supplement small, home made solar system. House is wired for AC, so we attach generator to house power board and run dishwasher and front loader washing machine. Runs these appliances well. Also, used to charge batteries when required etc.. Starts easily. Started 1st pull once filled with oil and fuel. Generally, starts by 2 pulls. Runs reasonably quietly. Very pleased with purchase. Hope and expect to receive long and reliable service from this generator. Good 4 years warranty. Negative – the combination security cable is a bit embarrassing! Will not be using it to secure any item of value.

Purchasing a generator for our caravan is something you need to get right first time – for performance and cost. I read hundreds of reviews for portable generators, having owned larger ones on my farm over many years. I remained concerned that the generator be compact but, at the same time, I wanted to be sure that the generator could handle the load from appliances such as 240 volt AC. While many of the Generators on the market are rated at 2000 watts, a surprising number of reviews indicated that this was not quite enough capacity to handle the loads applied, especially for 240 volt AC – so I started to look for a generator that would be quiet, not too heavy, small enough to fit on a slide and that would have sufficient power for my van’s appliances.I have owned Honda generators before and like their reliability but this Yamaha model rates exceptionally for capacity and price. It works well in my caravan and is quiet, fuel efficient (with a much larger tank than most portable models), it is not too heavy and it meets the power needs well. Basically, it ticks all the boxes, including many that slightly lower rated portable generators do not.

I use this unit to charge off grid solar batteries. I spent a long time balancing quality, size, noise and price of different units and glad that i settled on this one. Originally i wanted a bigger unit worried that something this size would work too hard over a long winter periods. Compared to my previous gennie – a cheaper version of roughly the same output – the difference is night and day. The yammie is much quieter, distinctly more efficient, lighter and easier to start, but most importantly the output wave is so clean that the electronics within the solar charger allow the batteries to charge faster. It also doesnt trip the breaker like the previous unit. So it seems apples aint apples.
Its a tad louder than the honda eu2200, but it also handles much more work too.
Long stort short you dont need a 5kva unit for solar backup, as i was led to believe.
Tops little unit, pricey but worth it.

Purchased a few years back from MyGenerator for a home b/up power supply during storm season in QLD. Neighbours very jealous during power blackout. Minutes to set up via transfer switch (Electrician Install) and runs everything we need (TV’s, Internet, 2 x Fridges, ceiling fans, LED Lights) even a small A/C unit in kid’s bedroom all at once. Powerful little unit. Will run for ages on a tank of fuel. Auto throttle response feature is fantastic and will ramp up or down depending on appliance load.
