Description
The 80 cc Ryobi OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline, is the heart of the Ryobi RYi2200GR. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,700W and a peak power of 2,200W. Also, since it can work in parallel (the Ryobi parallel kit is not included), this power can be doubled by connecting it to another unit that works with it. The noise level of the inverter generator is 57 dBA, which is less than a normal conversation at home. It is started with Ryobi’s EasyStart pull-start mechanism (more information below ). With a full tank, the RYi2200GR can run for up to 10.3 hours (using about 0.12 GPH of fuel). This is because it can hold 1.2 gallons of fuel. As the RYi2200GR makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 5%, you can safely plug sensitive electronics into the AC outlets.
Outlets
On the control panel, there are two 120V 20A duplex outlets (5-20R).
Features
A light lets you know right away if the generator is working too hard. When it comes to safety, this product has an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worry. The Ryobi RYi2200GR comes with a funnel, oil, and a tool kit, as well as some basic paperwork and an owner’s manual that will help you get the generator going right away.
Mobility
The Ryobi RYi2200GR looks better than a typical open frame generator because it has a closed inverter generator (L22 x W12.5 x H19 in). The generator has a modern look and is easy to use when generating power for fun. The RYi2200GR’s dry weight of 53 pounds lets you use it anywhere you need. Also, once it’s on the ground, you can move it easily thanks to its two wheels and telescoping handle.
Product Videos
We could find any videos of the product at the time of writing. Please search YouTube for any update.
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the Ryobi-RYi2200GR 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.
About the Manufacturer
