Description
The Ryobi RYi2300BTA has an 80cc Ryobi OHV 4-stroke engine that puts out 120V, uses gasoline, and puts out 1,800W while running and 2,300W at its peak. The device can also work in parallel (Ryobi’s parallel kit is not included), so it can be connected to a similar or compatible unit for more power. The noise level of the inverter generator is 57 dBA, which is less than a normal conversation at home. It has a simple pull-start mechanism. With a full tank, the RYi2300BTA can run for up to 10.3 hours on its 1.2 gallon fuel tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.12 GPH). The RYi2300BTA makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 5%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).
Outlets
The control panel has the following two AC outlets: Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R).
It also has 2 DC outlets and two 5V USB ports, which make it easy to charge devices like cell phones and tablets.Features
The data center on the RYi2300BTA’s control panel is one of its many features.
It lets you easily check the remaining run time, power output, and fuel level, so you can keep track of its activity and status.As far as safety goes, the device has an automatic shut-off for low oil and a circuit breaker for overheating, so you can use it without worrying.The Ryobi RYi2300BTA comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual that will help you start the generator quickly.It also comes with oil, a tool kit, and a funnel.Mobility
Since the Ryobi RYi2300BTA is an inverter generator, its enclosed design (L22 x W12.5 x H19 in) looks better than a traditional open frame product.
The generator has a modern look and is easy to use when generating power for fun.The 53-pound weight of the RYi2300BTA lets you take it anywhere.Moreover, its set of 2 wheels and its telecospic handle will allow you to effortlessly shift it once it’s on the ground.Product Videos
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the Ryobi-RYi2300BTA compare to other generators with the same power output.
**Fuel efficiency is give in relative percentage, 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest value. Please see below specification table for actual value.

- 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.
