Yamaha 6000w Petrol AVR Generator

Good Generator from Yamaha Review by Mark Brooks

I am off the Grid and this 6KVA Genset is fit for purpose indeed. I only have 7 hours on it so far, however, it is going well.

Excellent Review by Leigh Roeger

Have your oil ready to go on hand as they are shipped dry. Have used the unit for a few hours, Starts easily, runs quietly and smoothly. Have set up with air conditioner legs on it to dampen vibrations. Small quibble would be to have lifting hooks on the frame. Looks like a good quality unit.

DOES THE JOB WITH EASE Review by Max Dodds

Purchased this unit to use during blackouts/loss of power - unit quite easily runs whole of house including ac units and shed (power tools etc.) without a hiccup. Fuel usage is great. Have purchase a trolley for ease of movement as unit is quite heavy.

Awesome Unit. Review by Lozza

I bought this generator to power the house during blackouts. It is a great looking unit and doesn't even break a sweat running my whole house including lighting, 4 refrigerators/freezers, Bedroom Air con, heat pump hot water system. The 4 year warranty was also an added bonus. I love it and can't stop patting myself on the back when I look at it. Awesome.

Yamaha EF7200E Generator, fantastic buy! Review by Brad Traynor

Unit comes without oil and fill hole is difficult to get to, need a bent funnel. Started straight away and isn't too noisy. Very heavy unit (97kg) so would recommend a trolley or wheels. I am going to buy and after market trolley and strap it on. Overall, extremely happy.

Does the job well. Review by Reg Rayner

Delivery good, assistance given to site off truck and onto trolley. Unit is neat and modern, filled with oil, you do need a bent funnel to do this without spilling. Electric start, no problem, is a bit on the harder side to manually start, even with the decompression. Runs a smidgen loud on full revs/large load, but quiet on idle. Be aware, it is very heavy, 97 kgs. Couldn't afford the extra for original wheel set, fitted to inflatable wheel trolley from Bunnings. 1/3 rd of the price, transports really well over grass, rough, etc. Overall a great machine, and great warranty period.

Good Budget end Generator Review by Danny Keily

Arrives needing to be filled with oil which is easily done but perhaps this should be mentioned at purchase so as a purchaser can use generator immediately. Unit is key start with automatic choke. Starts very Quickly. I have put 10 hours on Generator using power tools and an inverter arc welder using 3.2mm electrodes which it handles very easily with no apparent struggle.The Automatic idle setting feature allows a lower fuel consumption along with a lower noise operation when intermittent loads are between cycles. All in all I'm very pleased so far with this machine. Very happy to recommend it.

No fuss buying and operating Review by Bruno Bertolo

This unit was purchased as a whole of house backup and has only been tested under load once. I did test start the unit and ran it under some small loads on delivery without issue. Plugged through the fuse board the unit operated without issue. It easily ran two large fridges, a large chest freezer, water pump, lights, computer and the espresso machine concurrently and without issue. I have yet to try it with the electric ovens or the aircon; although it was not purchased to run these (On paper it should be able to handle one of those larger appliances, but I need to double check the load calculations). It should be able to handle more load (washing machine, small appliances, fans etc) with a little common sense (ie. manual load management). It was purchased to cover extended outages (mainly to protect refrigeration items and to pump water, and so far, I would say it is fit for purpose. The quality of the machine seems very good and I hope to have many years service from it.

Great product and great friendly efficient service Review by Graeme Porter

The Yamaha generator started first pull of the cord and first electric start as well. It's a handsome unit to look at and competently covers all tasks that our average sized home asks of it, when required. I would purchase the same unit again without hesitation and I would thoroughly recommend this unit to everyone as it represents excellent value for the price.

generator arrived. read instructions. made an earth lead. added oil,fuel and connected the battery. hit the starter and away it went. it is replacing a 3500watt lectron that is to hard to start for a 70 year old. this generator easily runs a big fridge, a deep freezer. and 2 room aircons. could do with more noise suppression.

Good reliable Yamaha technology Review by Vaughn Sampson

Product arrived well packaged and in good condition. Just filled with oil and fuel then as good as looked at the start key and the unit fired up. Runs a little rough on the choke, but when warmed up..... smooth as silk. Runs all appliances no problems and is very easy to move about with the wheel kit attached. Great unit no hassles, highly recommend.

Good value and quick delivery Review by Ray Quinn

The generator arrived fairly quickly and it was well packaged. The engine runs a bit rough on start-up with the automatic choke, when the engine warms up it runs smoothly, the volt meter doesn't seem to register a voltage on the LCD display, but other then that the generator seems to be OK so far..

Great product Review by Andrew Waid

Powers the whole house with the exception of the ducted air conditioner but knew that when buying runs quite and has a long run time. Battery start makes it easy for starting. Had an electrician make a 32 amp lead to plug into the inlet on the meter box.

Excellent product Review by Norm Cordon

We know that as we live in SA we will have blackouts this summer & have purchased this generator to overcome thus problem. Our electrician has installed it so we can flick a switch or two & we will have the power to run the important things in our house. The generator is also able to be used around our farm as needed.

Satisfied Customer Review by Roger Schultz

I purchased this generator as a backup power supply because we live in South Australia. I have test run the generator about five times to familiarize myself with starting and it's capabilities. The unit is very easy to start either by the battery or the pull start first time every time ! My partner has also started the unit with the pull start with no problem at all even though she has never done anything like this before. We are very satisfied with this product. I had a boilermaker friend (also a happy customer) make two axles for me and the unit is now fully mobile.

Highly recomended Review by Keith Smith

This generator is terrific. Quiet, easy to start, easily supplies the rated watts and best of all a big fuel tank. I can start it and don't have to worry about it running out of fuel every few hours. Great value for money. Cheap Chinese generators don't compare.

Unbelievably great product, price, customer servic Review by Gordon Ray

We needed a standby generator to handle grid outages predicted this summer here in Victoria. This was an essential step due to my wife's chronic health condition. We researched products from hybrid solar/battery systems and found them cost prohibitive to cover what "may happen". The logical choice was a capable standby generator. Yamahas brand has always been a name to be trusted, on line calculators provided the generator size. Product search revealed this generator to tick all boxes. Reliable product, exceptional price, exrremely helpful retail company and quick delivery. My installation electrician agrees that this was the one to buy, another box ticked. Peace of mind that in any form of grid outage, we have it covered properly. Thanks guys for a great product.

Great Product and Service from mygenerator Review by Michael Vilbro

Yamaha have a very good reputation for the quality of their motors and reliability of their products. This is a quality product that ran, once oil was added of course, straight out of the box. I now have a great backup for our flaky power supply system in SA :)

Fantastic Review by Keith Burggraaff

I'm really surprised at how quiet it is. It works extremely well, the automatic choke is a real bonus and has performed flawlessly. The generator is used as a backup for an off grid power system so I needed something reliable and this unit delivers. Plenty of smooth, quiet power, couldn't ask for more.

Great find thanks to this site Review by Annabelle Lewis

Though this generator cost more than I had initially planned to pay, it has much much more going for it than I was prepared to accept - electric start, good running time, able to be fitted into mains power board and take care of most of the appliances etc in a large house, quieter than expected,and more 6000w was a lot better than I expected for the price. All round a great buy.

So glad i did get this one Review by ash boost

After seeing all the problems my mates had with under sized generators ,cheap imports i decided to bite the bullet and get the real deal. Firstly after my electrician wired the socket/plug to the house and test running the unit ,we were impressed with general quietness of the unit. Secondly ,it was even a greater outcome to complete an amp draw and find i was able to run 2 x split sytem air conds,water pump(Rain tank supply-house),all lighting and 2 x fridges. We actually thought that some things we will have to go with out.This was not the case.The whole house is up n running,not to mention critical water pump in our high risk fire prone area Toodyay. So all in all.You cant go wrong and im glad i did it right the first time. As doing wrong once put s you back so much further financially. Look forward to many years trouble free with the big name brand Yamaha. Oh and yes it was cheaper to freight than to buy locally.

really happy with this genny Review by Gerrard Cunnington

This is a great unit if you need AVR plus a fair amount of power. From what I could find the inverters over 5000 watts were damn expensive. I was rapt to get this for under 2 grand. Essential for my business now, I run my tools and computer when needed
