The EF4500iSE is designed for maximum fuel efficiency and minimum noise, qualities which make it the ultimate RV accessory. The most powerful engine in its class allows our biggest inverter to run at the very low engine speed of just 2600 rpm—1000 rpm, and that slow engine speed pays off in reduced fuel consumption as well as less noise, vibration and engine wear. It’s got all the features you expect from Yamaha including an optional wireless remote control. 4500 watt maximum output, 4000 watt rated continuous output – Suitable for running an RV 15,000 btu air conditioner and 1000 watt microwave oven.

Qualifies for the highest engine life rating (Extended). Exceeds 1000 hours emission compliance. Pulse Width Modulation Inverter System – Sine wave as clean as or cleaner than household electricity.

This review is from: Yamaha EF4500iSE 4,500 Watt 357cc OHV 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator With Electric Start (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)

I uncrated my new generator, filled the battery with the supplied electrolyte, filled the crankcase with oil, added some gas and turned the key. Started very easily and was amazed at how quiet it was running. 12 hp engines arent usually quiet. Plugged in a fan and a air compressor to test it out. I was expecting it to rev up or make more noise, it never even winced. My central a/c kicked on about forty feet away and was louder than this geneator with me standing next to it. Yamaha nailed this one, I am very happy with it.

cons: heavy 194 lbs ( but rolls very easily )
no 12v output connection ( would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me )
remote start should be standard on this model not an added option
expensive ( If you want quiet its gonna cost )
shipping : was free, but the freight company ran the forks through the box, covered it up with packing tape. cracked the rear housing just below both handles. If it didnt run so good I would have sent it back. I cant blame amazon for this so it still gets five stars.
