Yamaha EF2200iS
Quiet 2200W inverter generator with Smart Throttle fuel economy
The Yamaha EF2200iS is the closest rival to the Honda EU22i and many campers actually prefer it. It's marginally quieter under load, slightly lighter and often available at a better price. Yamaha's Smart Throttle technology delivers excellent fuel economy and the clean inverter output is safe for all sensitive electronics.
Our Verdict
Yamaha has been building inverter generators since the technology was invented, and the EF2200iS shows that experience. The Smart Throttle system varies engine speed based on load, delivering up to 10.5 hours of runtime at 25% load — better than the Honda. The noise level of 51.5 dB(A) at rated load is genuinely impressive. Like the Honda, it supports parallel operation for doubled output. Build quality is excellent and Yamaha's Australian dealer network provides solid after-sales support.
