Perfect for small jobs/emergencies [Posted on 2008-04-27]
I dont leave comments regularly on my amazon purchases, but I know I read the reviews before purchasing this back in Oct 07. And after a power outage and using it today. I said I'd give my impression. It definitely holds up to its wattage rating. I powered a Panasonic 50" Plasma HDTV (700 watts max) a floor fan, and laptop/modem/router. I did have all electronics plugged into a surge protector/line conditioner (APC Line R1200). I would NOT recommend plugging sensitive electronics directly to the generator. I never keep exact track...but i seem to get over 4 hours of usage on a full tank. again i never timed it but I'm sure its not less than 4. After extended storage, first couple minutes the exhaust is a little smokey...but clears up in about 5 minutes. The noise level is tolerable, especially when using it in emergency situations. All in all... a must for South Florida small apt residents who need to power about 800-900 watts of appliances, and since i got it for $99 delivered, i am quite happy with this product so far.
Hot plate [Posted on 2008-06-02]
I used this generator about ten times in the past 9 months. It started, and worked flawlessly every time. I made meals with it in the South Dakota Badlands on a 1000w hot plate, and made numerous pots of coffee. It's light enough to lug around on a road trip....

Just got mine today. Arrived undamaged, I filled the fuel tank and it started right up. Plugged some of my shop tools into it and they worked fine. Seems to be built fairly sturdy. I plan of using it to power my small travel trailer battery charger when out camping. Oh and it is real quiet, just a pinch louder than the honda 1000 generator I can't afford.
Much better than expected... [Posted on 2008-06-27]
I was worried to buy this generator after I was reading all the other evaluations... for nothing. It turned out to be a great buy!
Super fast shipping from Amazon - in less than 48 hours in front of my door with super saver shipping (free).
No problem about transport damage - the generator was packed in a heavy and strong box, sitting in a item shaped styrophom casing - safe....
Unpacked, manual consulted, gas and oil filled (super easy), and cranked.
Started at the first stroke! Run for a few seconds rough, then right away very smooth.
I was primarily surprised about the low noise level. It has a low dump sounding and smooth running noise, even on my closed in balcony. I hardly could hear the noise when I just closed the balcony door. Incredible!
The worksmenship looks trustworthy and I believe the generator will hold up - just listening to the smooth engine sound to realize that this engine will hold up some milage.
The fill in lid comes with measuring cap to get the right amount of oil to the gasoline and everything looks like well thought out and easy to handle. Easy for anyone, technical touched or with to left hands super easy and simple.
The instructions are clear and fast understandable - it took about five minutes to get to the start up.
Again, amazing is the low noise level. The mufler does its job, and the strong rubber feet take 100% care of any vibration.
I obviously can not tell if this generator lives for many years in service of construction sites - I live in a hurricane area and need the back up in case we are again for a long period out of electricity (two years ago for two weeks). I am confident that this generator will do a superior job for that purpose. He produces enough power to run a regular fritch to keep things from spoiling, runs a large TV, and charges my computer system, besides providing light. It appears that the frequenz modulation is alright too because I had no problems with electronic equipment.
It also has a 12 Volt hook up and even clamps for battery charging are supplied. Nevertheless, there is only one single receptacle - means you will need a multiple T to hook up more lines. I would also certainly recommend to use a multiple plug in like you use for electronic or computer equipment to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations - just in case...
Simple to use - good quality - dependable - highly recommendable!
(I am writing all this, because I was lost reading all the other evaluations and like to help making the right decissions)
