Description
The Ryobi RYi1000 has a 54 cc Ryobi OHV 4-stroke engine that puts out 120V, uses gasoline, and puts out 900W while running and 1,000W at its most powerful. The noise level of the inverter generator is set at 65 dBA (a little louder than background music). It uses a simple, traditional pull-start mechanism to get going. With a full tank, the RYi1000 can run for about 8 hours at 0.5 load (using about 0.08 GPH of fuel). This is because it has a 0.6 gallon fuel tank. The RYi1000 makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of 5%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into an AC outlet (THD).
Outlets
On the control panel, there is a 120V 15A (5-15R) receptacle for an AC outlet.
Features
Some lights let you know right away if the generator doesn’t have enough oil, if it’s ready to go, or if it’s too busy.
When it comes to safety, this product has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off for low oil, so you can use it without any worries.The Ryobi RYi1000 comes with the standard paperwork and an owner’s manual, which will help you get started quickly.It also comes with the following accessories: oil and funnel.Mobility
Since the Ryobi RYi1000 is an inverter generator, its enclosed design (L19.8 x W12 x H19.4 in) looks better than a traditional open frame product.
The design fits with what’s popular now and is perfect for generating power for fun.The RYi1000 can be thought of as a lightweight and portable generator because it only weighs 35 pounds.A single person should be able to move it around easily and get power wherever they go.Its case has a handle that makes it easy to carry.This makes it even more convenient.Product Videos

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
