Yamaha Announces Versatile All-New EF2000iS
Generator
Perfect
For Camping, Tailgating and Everything Else
EF2000iS Generator |
Cypress, Calif. – February 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
