Re: Just Bought Ryobi 2,200 Generator RYI2200
My friend has the yammy and I have the Hondas. Side by Side very very similar. We both like them a lot, and we haven't had any problems with the units. I've got 2 of the honda's and do the bridging thing which works quite well. I've run my camper with AC on the two of them for 7 hours without running out of gas. I'm not sure how they didn't run out as I couldn't see any fuel at all when I topped them back off. I can't speak for the runtime hours, never saw any figures.
I really like my honda. I use it all the time around the house. I find it less work to fire up the generator than to unroll and re-roll multiple extension cords when I have electrical needs farther away from the house. One of them runs the leaf blower, big shop vac, saws or any other power tools I've ever hooked to it with ease.
Both are quality equipment from what I've seen. The inverter aspect of it allows me to run sensitive electronics (I'm a computer programmer and work from home, I have used them as backup power before). I did a test once with my flatscreen TV between the honda and a cheep contractor generator and you could see the quality difference in the power generated right on the TV screen.
yup id look at yammy before Honda myself ,their great,quite,frugel with gas and priced competitively.dont know if this is true or not but the local dealer that just opened up said the Honda has a life cycle of 3500hrs vs 5000 for the yammy.anybody I know that has a yammy loves them.
