A generator can be used not only to power your home during a power outage, but also to power tools on a job site where electrical power isn't available. Yamaha, which has been in business since 1955, started making generators in 1998. The Yamaha EF1000 is a brushless AVR (automatic voltage regulator) AC generator.

Other Details

The Yamaha EF1000 features a heavy-duty construction that allows the generator to run for longer periods reliably. The generator features a brushless alternator, which means that it requires less maintenance. It also has an oil watch warning system that turns off the generator when the level of oil is too low; it won't let you run the machine until you add the proper amount of oil. One of the nicest features is the noise-reduction feature, which not only dampens the noise of the generator but reduces the risk of interference from both television and radios.
