Aurora Yanmar Generators 6kW Diesel Generator/ No Canopy Enclosure - PowerGen USA - AGi6Y-O

Aurora Yanmar Generators 6kW  Diesel Generator/ No Canopy Enclosure  - PowerGen USA - AGi6Y-O

THIS GENERATOR SIZE IS PERFECT FOR 

cabins, cottages and off-grid homes, which typically don't use more than 5 kW of power per hour. You can power your fridge, freezer, water pumps, fans, microwave, coffee maker, all your lights and a single stove element. This product is superior and far more reliable than a propane or gas generator.  NOTE: Includes auto-start, battery and fuel tank. 

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU GET:

Long Runtime
Diesel-powered engines can work hard 24/7 for extended periods - up to 3 weeks if necessary - and still outlast any other type of engine for a fraction of the operating costs. 
 
Reliability
There's a reason the farming, transportation and construction industries have been leveraging the benefits offered by diesel generators for years.
 
Home Friendly 
New stringent emission regulations have produced clean diesel engine options that fit perfectly for home power generation. These strong, reliable long-life diesel engines have become today's preferred choice for home backup power. 
 
Clean and Safe 
Diesel fuel is a cleaner fuel that can be safely stored for long periods.
 
Quieter Running 
The higher the RPM, the louder the noise. Our diesel generators run in the 1800 RPM range, unlike non-diesel products that run at 3600.
 
Low Maintenance 
You only need to change the oil and filter every 500 hours instead of every 100 hours for a non-diesel generator.
 
Cost-Effective 
Diesel fuel is the least expensive to run, with natural gas and propane costing much more.
 
Flexible Warranty 
Diesel-powered generators seldom have any restrictions on use and can be used non-stop if needed. The warranty for natural gas, propane and gasoline-powered generators usually only covers emergency standby use.
