Customer Review
Excellent generator,
October 24, 2007
I am a Power Quality Technician for the local power company and I have much experience with electric power. This is one fine generator. I was worried the voltage would be all over the place. I placed a 2400 watt load using a Mega Beast on this and it varied by 1 volt! Nominal 120 volts. I was very happy. This will work in an emergency to keep the heat on and the beer cold as long the total watts is not exceeded. Recommended!

I purchased this to be used in an emergency. It was a good price for the listed watts. It has since doubled in price. The supersaver ship was a big selling point also. I had a lot of trouble getting one that did not have broken motor mounts. I returned and exchanged four units until I got one that was not physicaly damaged. No customer service problems, but it was a hastle. I keep meaning to test run it but I have not yet had the time. Hope it actually works. It looks pretty good just sitting there.

Nice little generator,

I bought this generator for my parents, to keep their fridge and freezer going and allow them run small appliances during a power outage. This unit seems perfect. I like that wheels and a fold away handle are included, and the unit starts easily and is fairly quiet. The only negative comments I have are that the pull start handle is blocked by the front panel, making it necessary to pull the rope partway out and then pull it at about a 30 degree angle to the motor to start it. This isn't a big problem, but over time it might cause the rope to wear faster than if you could pull it straight out. As other other reviewers pointed out, the oil reservoir is nearly impossible to fill without a long, very narrow funnel, but since you may only do this once every few years, again, no big deal.
