Product Description

Yamaha make the quietest and lightest camping generators in the market and are considered the Premium Inverter Generator brand. The 1000W inverter model is extremely popular among the caravanning community, 4WD enthusiasts and campers alike. The three main reasons for this unit’s huge popularity are as follows:

  1. It weighs a mere 12.7 kilograms! This is the lightest 1000W portable generator you can buy, making it especially convenient to pack and unpack on your holiday.  
  2. Its super silent operation is unbeatable. At a normal running output, it produces a tiny 50 decibels of noise (that’s lower than normal conversation levels!) thanks to an acoustically engineered sound reduction system and newly designed mufflers. This makes it the quietest generator available.
  3. Yamaha the brand. Yamaha make some of the best engines and power equipment in the world, and customers know they can depend on their products for quality and longevity. The unit comes with a 4 year warranty and is backed by a national service network. Built tough, this unit will not let you down.

Of course, the other attractive feature is the inverter technology, which provides pure sine wave power output which is perfect to run sensitive electronic equipment such as laptop’s, mobile phones and televisions. Not forgetting the Yamaha smart throttle feature as well; this automatically adjusts the engine speed in line with the required output to maximize fuel efficiency…speaking of fuel, despite the small, compact size of this model, it is able to run for up to 12 hours before having to top up the tank!   

The package is complete with low oil alert, an AC plug and DC charging cord, and a spark arrestor, making it the perfect generator choice for your next road trip or recreational adventure. Certainly the most popular small inverter generator for people on Camper Trailer and Camping Trips that mostly want to re-charge auxiliary battery packs and run small personal appliances.

The little Yamaha Generator is an excellent product. Quiet, well made and high quality. Perfect for grey nomad camping trips.

Fabulous Review by
We considered putting an auxillery battery in the back of our wagon as we had done with previous vechiles. As we have a solar, 12 volt van we decided to get a generator as if we need to top up batteries in van we would get better value. Also we could use it for minor repairs running powered tools. Easy to start and quiet.

Good machine and delivers as claimed. Review by
Purchased the generator as a backup to the solar panels to charge the camper trailer batteries. The main issues were weight, noise and reliability. It weighs less than a jerry- can of diesel, is reasonably quiet (in the silence of the bush at night) and four year warranty is a selling point. Used it this week with a power outage to run my home office, no problem with computer, phone chargers etc.

Love it Review by
We use generators all the time in the bush to run power tools for weed control. Having to carry the generator up and down mountain sides with packs on we need something light with good fuel economy and quiet due to working in close proximity all day. The Yamaha EF1000is is the perfect choice as it ticks all these boxes.

Love it! Review by
I considered buying a cheap Chinese generator but decided to spend the extra coin and get the yammy. Having owned a few Yamaha outboards I knew it'd be reliable and use bugger all fuel. Fair dinkum, it's the best thing I've ever bought!

You won’t believe this..... Review by
Tell you a funny story. After amazing service by Matt at My Generator, & NEXT DAY delivery to country NSW, my little blue Yamaha baby arrived! Woohoo! Was I a happy camper! (Not literally, as I hate camping.) Filled her up with fuel & oil AND even read the instructions! Hmmmmmm. Read the instructions again.... Then referred to the specifications on the side of the water pump in the shed that I want to run on the odd occasion.... #$@*%#@$ I HAD PURCHASED THE WRONG SIZE GENERATOR!!!! My fault entirely, NOT My Generators fault in ANY way..... So I now have For Sale a brand new, started once, NEVER USED, Yamaha 1000w Inverter Generator. Mind you, it did start up like a dream! In the words of Homer Simpson, D’oh!

Thank You! Review by
Hi Steve, I have used the new Yamaha 1000is Generator for camping lights, fridge and recharged my batteries on vehicle. I can not believe how the small amount of fuel is used in an hour while it is charging at 600watts. I have had a number of other generators over years, the Yamaha is the best generator!! Kind regards Greg Hawtin

Purrs like a kitten, great service Review by
I ordered the 1000w yamaha and within 3 days it was at my doorstep. Sensational service, and the unit itself has been brilliant.

Great product Excellent Service Review by
The 1kw Yamaha starts like a charm and purs like a kitten. I am using it on a catamaran when the solar isn't enough and I need to give the batteries a boost or use power tools on board. Perfect for the job. The compact size and light weight means it stows away easily and is no chore to move to the end of the deck to avoid exhaust fumes blowing our way. Happy to add a Yammy generator to my Yammy outboards which are just as quiet and reliable.

Excellent product and excellent service from My Ge Review by
Very easy to operate, the noise level is good, particularly on the economy setting. I have used it to run a very old fridge in my garage which can use over 1500W for a second or two when starting and up to 500W when running, plus 4 large double fluorescent lights. I bought it for loss of power emergency use at home and for battery charging in my motorhome when camping without power and I am sure it will manage both tasks with ease.

Great little unit for camping Review by
Compact easy to store in our camper trailer. Got with bonus deal of bag and oil. Bag doesn't fit the best but good for simple dust cover. Not quite as quiet as expected though does exactly what we need it to do. Would recommend it as a little generator for camping, with or without camper trailer

Excellent for charging RV batteries Review by
Great generator. More expensive than others but it is light, small, relatively quiet. We have solar panels on our RV and 2x100A batteries. The generator is perfect for those rainy days and only needs 2 or 3 hours to top our batteries. It is not as 'silent' as the advertising might suggest, but ok.
(Posted on 23 February 2017)

The Yamaha ef1000is we purchased through My Generator is exactly what we wanted from our generator. Quality, price, performance and especially the compact dimension was as described. Very happy customer.

Yamaha 1000watt generator Review by
Very good unit. I use it to charge lipo batteries for my model RC aircraft at the flying field. It is very quiet starts first time as we fly at a noise sensitive site and as i flyfish and camp as well it will come in handy in more ways than one.

Have used the Yamaha 1000w inverter generator a few times now. Always starts first time, lovely and quiet as promised. Tremendous backup when free camping in our motorhome when the house batteries lose charge.

Great little unit Review by
I purchased this little generator as a backup for my reef aquariums in power outages and camping duties. The unit practically paid for itself when we lost power two weeks after it arrived (how weird/lucky is that?). Of course I wasn't home, but my wife got it started easily, using the manual and some guidance over the phone. Filling with oil can be a little fiddly, but the rubber funnel hidden under the generator helps a lot with this. Overall, it's very quiet, and 1000w is more than enough for my needs.

Great little generator, ideal for my needs. Review by
Have just returned from a 14 day boat trip on the Murray River. The Yamaha 1000iS generator made light work of running the Engel fridge and charging the deep cycle batteries. It started first pull every time and supplied all the power we needed whilst running on its economy mode. Noise level and fuel use were both excellent. The light weight and compact size of the unit made it easy to move around and store on the boat. A great little generator, ideal for my needs.

A quality reliable product. Review by
A well made, quiet and very fuel efficient generator. Looked at cheaper generators but I did not want to destroy a $3000 National Luna fridge, also the cheapies are false economy as you require far more fuel and it has to be carried and purchased at premium rates in the bush.
(Posted on 25 June 2015)
Brilliant little generator, and great service from Review by
I purchased this for camping, as my 140 watt solar panel wasn't keeping my battery charged. My brother - in - law has the similar Honda. This was quiter than the Honda, and ran for 14 hours on a tank of fuel. Amazing fuel economy! It is also very easy to change the oil, as there is a supplied funnel which makes it very easy to refill the sump. All in all, has to be the best value generator on the market, especially with the 4 year warranty...

Little Ripper Review by
Initially bought it for my 4WD trip up through the Kimberlys and it didn't let me down once. Now I use it on the marina for a small vaccum cleaner on my boat - it's probably quieter than my mate's honda I reckon. Will be buying another as a gift for my old man. Love it!

Wasn't sure if this would be big enough to run my bar fridge in the garage during blackouts, but runs it without a sweat...have also ran a small TV and fan and lights at the same time - saved me having to read by candlelight a few times! Cheap on the fuel too - great machine to have. Thanks, Jim

Product Q&A

Ask Us a Question
  • Hello, looking for a reliable generator with invertor...its for camping, needs to be quiet. Would be good if you can recommend?
    Hi Graeme, we'd recommend a Yamaha Inverter Generator if you are looking for a reliable, good quality inverter generator, 4 year warranty and with nationwide service agent support. Yamaha are the lightest and quietest inverter generators in the market and extremely popular for camping/camper trailers/caravans.
     
    The size of the generator would depend on the type/qty of appliances you intend to run off it. You'll need to know how much power your appliances draw to make sure you get the right size, but as a guide the following will help you:
     
    Yamaha 1000w Generator: ultra light, very popular for charging camping battery packs via a battery charger and for running a few small appliances; laptop, phone, TV, lights, small fridge etc.
    Yamaha 2000w Generator: extremely fuel efficient, also great for charging battery packs and running a few more appliances or items with greater draw such as fridges or smaller air-conditioners.
    Yamaha 2200w Generator: the latest and greatest from Yamaha. New features include: Boost feature (overload capability), light weight (25kg), Tri-Handle Design and Toolless Panel for ease of maintaining.
    Yamaha 2400w Generator: the most popular unit for caravans as it will run caravan a/c units. Rated as the Top Caravan Generator by Caravan & Motorhome on Tour Magazine
     
  • Hi there, I'm considering a Yamaha, but have noticed several other 'generic' generator brands for around a third of the price and offer similar specs. What's driving the price difference?

    Great question Craig, thank you! Some lesser known brands have their place, really only for people who will use their generator infrequently - in which case you can save some money. Then there are also many cheap brands out there that are a good chance to break down on your first starting attempt!

    With Yamaha, firstly - their specs are superior; not only are they the quietest and lightest inverter generators in the market, they are also built to handle more intensive, frequent operation. So with a Yamaha, you know it is going to handle your power demands easily and you can use your unit for multiple applications if required; recreation, home power backup, small business, events etc. It is the premium inverter generator brand in the market.

    Secondly, with a Yamaha you get a 4-year warranty (which is much longer than the cheap brands) and you get the support of over 200 accredited service agents around the country. Our experience is that the Yamaha after sales support, servicing and parts support is excellent. You don't get a national service network with the cheap brands. 

    Hope that help explains the price difference, cheers, Steve!  

  • My product manual for my inverter generator mentions an 'earthing wire / earthing stake' - do I need this?

    Hi there, good question. This is mentioned in generator manuals and is a safety feature that will earth the generator. You do have the option to fit an 'earth wire'. Connecting an earth wire and stake is an option available to customer's that purchase a generator.

    An earth wire and stake are not supplied with generators that we sell and is application specific. In practice, we do not see customer's do this, especially for inverter generators. It can be something that is implemented for more specialized generators on mining work sites for example...for common applications, it is not common practice to 'earth' the generator with a wire and stake. If you are in doubt, and you have a specialized generator requirement that may need 'earthing', please consult an electrician. Hope that helps.

  • Is there a way to shut off the petrol supply so I can run the carburetor dry?

    Yes, all the Yamaha generators have a fuel valve shutoff (petcock) allowing you to switch off the fuel whilst the generator is operating so the remaining fuel in the carburetor runs dry.

    This feature is especially popular if you intend to store your generator in a car, as the petrol fumes ill not permeate through the vehicle thanks to the shutoff valve. 

  • Good morning, Karen here from Semaphore Caravan Pk Adelaide SA. We are getting ready for our trip around Australia. We would like to know what size Yamaha Generator would best suit us? We have solar panel set up, duel battery among other things.

    Hi Karen, to be sure you get the right generator for your Caravan trip, its best to know in a bit more detail exactly what you intend to be running. If you just want the generator as backup option to charge your batteries and a few other small appliances then the most popular generator models are the Yamaha EF1000iS and the Yamaha EF2000iS.

    However, if you also want a generator to run appliances with a larger draw such as a Caravan air-conditioner, a microwave, a washing machine, a standard kettle etc. etc. then you may need a larger generator such as the Yamaha EF2200iS, the Yamaha EF2400iS, the Yamaha EF2800i or the Yamaha EF3000iSE. In this instance you would need to know the exact starting and running wattages of these larger appliances to ensure you get the right sized generator for the particular make/model of appliances you have. The starting wattage of these appliances is the most important number to obtain. You can do this by checking the product manual or contacting the manufacturer of the appliance (we find this is the safest/most effective approach). 

    I hope that helps - if you still need help, please feel free to give us a call on 1300 400 122! Thanks.

  • I plan to leave the generator outside my long term camp setup, what's your best inverter generator that can handle all weather conditions, especially heavy rain?

    Hi there, sounds like a nice set up! The short answer is that electricity and water don’t mix. Whilst we are aware that some people run their inverter gensets in all weather conditions, it is not recommended as safe or best practice for your equipment, as inverter generators do not come with weatherproof outlets as standard.

    Ideally, you would somehow shelter your generator from the rain. But just remember that fully enclosing your generator whilst its running is not an option - generators need fresh air intake for the engine to run and they emit carbon dioxide, so they should never be contained. Overall, some rain protection but also room for fresh air intake and fume emission is what you need.

  • How frequently do I have to change the motor oil? Product info says to change it after the first 20hrs, and after this first change?

    Hi, after the first oil change, the recommended oil change time frame is every 6 months or 100 hours of use. When in doubt always consult our user manual for recommended maintenance. Thanks!

  • Is the warranty on this product a factory warranty from Yamaha?Â

    Yes, you get the full manufacturer’s warranty from Yamaha Australia which would be covered by any local Yamaha service center that works on generators. 

    You can find a Yamaha local service agent by clicking HERE

  • Thank you for your very informative website. I am about to have a Duoetto 12V/240V water heater installed in my yacht. It will be run from batteries but I would like the option of using it with 240V from a portable generator. Would this Yamaha 1000w suit?

    Hi, great question - we are somewhat familiar with that style of water heater...whilst the Yamaha 1000w generator may be fine, often the information in the product manual is not enough and if possible we'd encourage you to contact the manufacturer (Duoetto) or the distributor and ask for clarification on the peak wattage draw of your particular model. Again, there are many 12V/240V water heater models that can be run easily with a 1000w generator, but its always advised to check with the manufacturer about the peak draw of your particular model to make sure you get the right sized generator...you dont want to buy a generator that isnt big enough to do the job you want.

    Thanks, and good luck :)  

  • Considering buying a Yamaha Ef1000is from you. Do you ship to Tasmania? And is the product insured during shipment? Thanks.

    Yes, we certainly do ship to Tasmania, simply add your postcode to the freight calculator on the product page to get a shipping price to your location. And yes again; the shipping price includes freight insurance. Many thanks!

  • Please clarify if the DC charger facility can be used at the same time as the 240AC is being used? The manual is a little confusing regarding this.

    Hi - yes, simultaneous use of the AC and DC power is possible, but wattage should not exceed the rated output. 

    It should also be noted that the DC charge from the generator is not regulated and is mostly designed for 'just in case' situations, i.e. your flat car battery needs a short trickle charge. For full charging of your batteries, you should always use a quality battery charger which connects between the AC output on the generator and your batteries - this will ensure safe and efficient charging of your batteries.  

    Thanks.

  • Can I charge my battery pack from the generator?

    Hi Adam, and thanks for your question; in short, yes you can. The Yamaha EF2200iS, EF2000iS and EF1000iS units come with DC outlets and 12V charging cables and are popular models to charge battery packs. However, it is strongly recommended that you use a battery charger to charge your battery pack - the DC charge from the generator is not regulated, and so it is much safer and effective to connect a battery charger to your generator, and then the charger to your battery pack to charge up. 

    The charging cables can be used directly to provide a small trickle for a short period of time in situations such as needing to start a car battery...but once again, for charging your battery packs, ensure you connect a suitable battery charger between the generator and your batteries.

  • What is an "inverter" generator?

    Hi Alison, and thanks for your question. An inverter is a lightweight microprocessor that converts power from direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). They are a fairly recent advancement in technology from the older style conventional generators. What it means is that the inverter generators produce very clean power which is required to run sensitive electronic equipment such as laptops, mobile phones, camera equipment etc. 

    The other benefits of inverter generators are that they are typically much smaller and lighter than standard open frame style generators and tend to operate at very low noise levels (less than 60 decibels). Lastly, they are also very efficient; their engine speed automatically adjusts in accordance with the required load, maximising fuel efficiency. 

    Overall, they are an extremely popular portable power source for camping, caravanning, DIY tasks, small business uses and home power back up. Inverter generators range from around 1000 watts up to 7000 watts.   

  • Whereabouts are the Yamaha service agents located? Thank you.

    Hi Martin, Yamaha has over 200 accredited service agents around the country. The following website link has the full list and you can type in your postcode to find the nearest service agent to you: https://generatoryamaha.com.au/where-to-buy/

  • Do you guys have some general tips for generator maintenance? Ta

    Hi there - good question, yes, we do! Firstly, as a safety note, always stop the engine and let the generator cool down before starting any maintenance work. The five main general tips are;

    1. Replace engine oil
    2. Check spark plug, replace if necessary
    3. Check fuel level and ensure it is fresh fuel (fuel left for a long time can go "off")
    4. Check air filter, replace if necessary
    5. Clean muffler cover and check spark arrestor 

    You can also check out this helpful video on generator maintenance tips.

    For further maintenance help, you should take your generator to a small engine specialist or an accredited generator service technician. 

  • Hi,Do you know if this will run a sterling pro charge ultra 50a AC battery charger at full? Does the unit's output drop off on a hot 35-40 degree C day?

    Hi There,

    Without knowing the input power requirements of the charger we are unable to guarantee it will run on this generator, sorry.

    The generator will de-rate when the temperatures are high. This is normal for all generators.

  • I am buying a Yamaha Inverter Generator from you. If I plan to not run it for a period of 4-5 months, so should I just use a fuel stabilizer?

    Yes, a good fuel stabiliser will keep your fuel fresh during periods when you are not using your generator and in your case this should be fine.

    Other good practice recommendations are:

    • Drain the excess fuel in the carburettor after use. All Yamaha generators have a fuel shut off valve (petcock) that you can switch off while the generator is running to use the residual fuel and ensure it does not sit in the carburettor
    • Start up your generator every few months for a short period to lubricate internal parts of the unit and even apply a small load to the generator ensure everything is in working order for when you need it next.
