 Cheaply made, but mine works fine. May 26, 2010

For this price, you can hardly expect to get a precision-machined piece of equipment. And indeed you won't -- this thing is clearly made with cheap materials, and is a bit "wobbly". But I've had mine for over a year now, and haven't had any serious problems with it -- it works fine (at least mine does).
* I've had problems with it randomly sputtering and dying out, but these are few and far between. Usually when this happens, I just shut it off, and let it cool down, and then it runs fine when I start it up 5 minutes later.
* I've run it for 150+ hours and have yet to have to change the spark plug, or replace any other parts.
* It sounds loud to me, but I'm not used to working with a generator nearby, so I'm not sure what's normal. And the smoke from it is nasty, but I guess that's to be expected for a combustion engine.
* I'm able to run a satellite, 2 computers, hard drives, car battery charger, AA battery charger, phone charger, and modem/router at the same time with no problems. It's pretty gas efficient, I can run all of that stuff for over 4 hours on less than a gallon of gas.
Anyhow, for the price I paid for it, I'm satisfied, and don't have any regrets about choosing this one.
Great for the price March 23, 2010

I purchased this on a recomendation from a friend and also from reading many reviews. I do a lot of camping,mud bogs and off road events. This generator will power lights, a coffee maker, ( at one time only, or any combo up to 1200 watts ),small electric heater. and such. It lasts aprox 10 hours on a tank of fuel. Low noise ( behind a pop up can't even hear it ). I have a small driver camper and it has a 3000 w Onan. This little generator is mounted on the rear bumper and works great. I have it running the fridge and AC (fan only) going down the road. 1 gallon for ten hour versus pulling the Onan from the fuel tank. Its really a good little generator. You won't be dissapointed.

I purchased this generator in Nov 2008 and shipped it by air
to my beach place (checked as luggage). On the trip it must
have been treated badly since it arrived with 2 legs missing.
I started it, and worked like a charm. Since then, I have used it for
lighting (2-3 rooms), laptop charging, and to power a 1/2 HP water
pump.
However, here is what really prompted me to write this review.
A few days ago I left it on a ledge, about 5 ft
from a concrete ground. I did not secure it well enough
and it fell... making a terrible
noise, like all the metal parts were gone.
Well.... the machine started like nothing had ever
happened to it. It's sound is good and it delivers power.
So...I am not an expert in generators, but this one gets
my endorsement
