I use this generator at flee markets, it runs a loptop, desktop and my router at the same time with out a problem it is perfect for what I do.
Well designed, solid unit. Easy to start and relatively quiet. Includes several small tools in pouch and 12v cord with alligator clips. Complete, well written manual printed on substantial paper. Easily handles variable loads associated with softball pitching machine. 1 year consumer warranty (many are only 90 days) with toll free support from established manufacture. A bit smoky during initial 5 min of operation but that was probably machining oils burning off. Clean otherwise. Good packaging minimizing chance of shipping damage. Arrived in 3 business days via UPS ground (free).
After checking the e-auctions, local shops, etc., looking for a small generator for remote tool power, the Amazon offer of free shipping for the same wattage generator sold me. This little generator is only 1200 watts/max 15 amps, but it does what it is designed for– low load remote or emergency use. Warrantee wise, it has a 1 yr. certification and in CA a 2 yr. exhaust warranty– not bad for $100. As with most mechanical items, it pays to read and re-read the instructions before gassing up this power box. I had to clean the air filter (Hey, new machines have clean air filters, right? Not always.) after starting the engine and having it die out regardless of choke settings. (This remedy is noted in the well documented instruction book) Once that was taken care of, it was off to the races. This thing starts on at least the second pull every time, is relatively quiet, and uses very little gas. The downside of mixing oil with the gas is made easier with the measuring cup built into the gas cap– one cap of oil to one gallon of gas and you’re done. All in all, for the money/features/free shipping it is hard to beat this deal.
One of the best features of this generator is it’s compact size and portability. It’s perfect for on the go generating of power for small to midsize equipments like notebook computers or handheld dvd players. It’s got 1200 watts total so that means it could also pack quite a punch if you need it. Overall, as long as a new and not a questionably used one is purchased, then it should work just fine.
I was a little skeptical for the price but I’ve used units costing more than twice as much which weren’t built as good and didn’t perform any better…
The ONLY minor complaint I have is that it idles a little rough being a 2 cycle…But upon loading it smooths right out…At idle it produces 122 volts and when I pulled a full tested 10 amps or 1200 watts equivalent for 5 minutes it still held a firm 115 volts…It also has a dedicated 8.2amp 12 volt charging plug in with the necessary cables…Many units costing more don’t even have this…
For the price and with metal prices surging I expected the generator itself to be aluminum wound but it was copper which is much better…The gas tank is metal and the entire unit is very well built…
The manual is VERY thorough with included schematics and part numbers for the generator and 2 cycle engine…
I also like the 41 lb. weight for those times when a larger heavier unit would be a pain…Overall for $119 I consider this unit an extraordinary value…
