Question on Yamaha generators
Yamaha 2000 watt generator - 44 pounds Yamaha 2400 watt generator - 75 pounds Why such a large difference in weight?
Forum Discussion
The Yamaha 2400 series generators use the same sized engine as the 2800W, and the 3000W generators. It uses an aluminum block, and is 1/2 the weight of the 3000W model.
The EF2400iS can be paralleled. The newer EF2400iSHC cannot, but is designed to start bigger loads. In theory, no need to parallel, saving the cost of a second generator.
The EF2400iS was designed to start "most" 13,500 BTU A/C units by itself. I bought mine a decade ago, and it's been worth every penny I paid.
