New Yamaha EF2200IS

I just went to the Honda dealer to sign up for the recall part today, a fuel shut off switch that “may” leak. Could be 3-4 weeks to get the part and have replaced for free.

I have owned the 2000i previously and can attest that the 2200i is WAY more powerful which really matters at altitude.
I have done testing with 13,500 AC that would not run on the 2000 but will run on the 2200i on eco mode.

From my Honda letter the affected serial numbers are
EAJT-1000001 to EAJT-1005474
EAMT-1000001 to EAMT-1260796

The recall involves variations of the EU2200i of specific serial numbers so any with a serial number outside that range would not be subject to the recall.

Thx. that's what I was thinking. I asked a couple of sellers for serial #'s, but apparently they think by giving those out they are giving away top secret info?!

I went with Westinghouse 2500. Haven't used it yet, but it does have great reviews.

More power, costs less (Amazon $649)

I would like to hear more first hand reviews iGen 2500 vs Predator 3000

SWMBO ordered it from Home Depot for $599.

I hope to try it out this weekend.

Funny side story, I was wondering when we might actually do some dry camping... and she's quietly working on setting up a get together at a friends farm for a camping/smoking/shooting weekend :)

Also ... note it's specified noise range of 57 dBA up to a maximum of 65 dBA ... while the Honda EU2200i's noise spec ends at a full power noise level of 57 dBA. That's quite a difference between the two generators.

Doesn't the Yamaha cost about the same as the Honda?

Depending, yami can be $150 - $200 less. Not sure about the noise level, do they all use the same sound testing location/company, or is it done in-house?

I would really like to see a side by side test.

Thanks all for the input. I question why Yami would knowingly put an undersized engine in their genny when they are in direct competition with big red?? Getting more hp from less cc's??
