Yamaha 1,000-Watt Portable Generator #EF1000ISC Customer Review: Useless as a piece of emergency equipment
Listen good: If you are buying this little generator to use it frequently (as in weekly), it’s great. If you mean to leave it in the basement or garage and fire it up every four months in case of infrequent power failure, it is totally useless and expensive to own.
I bought one of these on July 11th of 2007 (Today is December 13th, 2007)from an outfit called Wise Sales in Illinois. (My first mistake.) I fired it up when I got it a week later and it worked great. Having been advised to run the machine every six weeks or so to keep it healthy, I ran it again five weeks later and again five weeks after that. Perfect, quiet, powerful performance. Five weeks later, my 4th try, the machine was DEAD.
I called Wise Sales and they would do nothing at all for me and had not even registered the item with Yamaha, which they told me they would. I called Yamaha and they told me to bring it to a Yamaha Service Center. They gave me the number of one. I brought it there and it cost me $85.00 for repairs that Yamaha wouldn’t cover.
What was the problem that Yamaha wouldn’t cover? According to Yamaha, “bad gas”! Bad gas? It’s the same gas that comes out of the pump at my local gas station. It runs my three cars, my lawn mower, snow blower, weed wacker, etc. When I first filled the generator I did so at the gas station. We mixed fresh gas with fuel stabilizer (recommended by Yamaha)in a can and poured it into the machine. Four months, according to the service center, is too long for the generator to contain even fresh gas, especially when the gas includes ethenol, which ALL gas does!
Advice from the certified repair center? Run the machine out of gas monthly or expect this to happen every time. In other words, if you need a generator for use in the occasional emergency, DON’T BUY THIS ONE! We live in the NYC area. We are CONSTANTLY being told to prepare for “emergency” THAT is why I bought this useless thing. I can see mid town Manhattan from my roof! Once I could see the World Trade Center. Remember it?
(Yamaha? I told you I would do this if you didn’t stand behind your product, and you certainly did not. This is just my first post on this subject. You thought you were SO slick.)
Customer Review: Amazing generator for home and camp use
This little power house is the best of the best. Quieter and has a higher surge then the Honda, more fuel efficent and lighter as well.
If you shop around it can be purchased for the mid $600’s shipped, which also makes it cheaper then the Honda. Runs a small ac unit with ease, even runs my full size side by side fridge ( It might not run yours based on power needs). Lights, tv’s etc barely get it off idle when the economy switch is on, allowing it to run all day. As an emergency generator it’s very low fuel useage is a big plus, first thing that’s hard to find in an emergency is gas. 5 gallons would last you at least 10 days running 12 hours a day at 1/4 load with this unit. My 3500 watt generator uses more then 5 gallons in 11 hours!
One pull starting, easy to maintain, ( it even has a small rubber cup built in if you spill a little oil ), whisper quiet, you can barely smell the exhaust, simply the best little generator I’ve ever used.
