Excellent generator
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!
Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Nice little generator
I bought this generator for my parents to keep their refrigerator and freezer going and allow them to operate small appliances during a power outage. This unit is great. I like the wheels and a fold away handle are included, and the machine starts easily and is fairly quiet. The only negative comments I have are just the beginning zipper is blocked by the front panel, making it necessary to pull the rope halfway, then drag it to an angle of 30 degrees to the engine to start. This is not a big problem, but over time it could cause the cord to wear faster than if you can draw directly. As other reviewers have pointed out other, the oil tank is almost impossible to bridge without a long, narrow funnel, but since you may only do so once every few years, no big deal.

Good value with some reservations
Received this generator in good condition 3 days after ordering! Some assembly required, which created my first concern- the nuts & bolts supplied had very poor threads- I had to screw them together with two wrenches to loosen them up enough to use. Not a good first impression. On my unit, the 240v outlet is installed at an angle with only part of it coming through the mounting hole. Either the outlet was a little too big or the hole in the mounting plate too small, but the fact that they shipped it without correcting this is troubling. The practical result is the insulating cover that should protect the back of the 240v and the 2 120v outlets does not fit properly and bare terminals are exposed behind the panel. Finally, on my unit, starting was hard initially. Upon inspection, I found the plug wire was loose. Snapped it on and it started easily.
This unit is fairly loud, but I started my 6.5 hp Craftsman lawnmower next to it for comparison and the mower was noticeably louder. I do recommend getting a funnel with a flexible neck for filling with oil.
It seems capable as rated; I connected a 1500 watt heater to the right hand 120v outlet and the voltage dropped only 1 volt. On the left, however, it sustained the load, but the voltage dropped to 114v. From studying the schematic, it appears on this generator that the load is voltage compensated on the right outlet only, which is connected to one of the two field coils on the alternator. The left outlet is not regulated, so you want to try and balance your load between the two outlets as much as possible, and connect any sensitive devices to the righthand one.
All in all, I’m satisfied with this generator for my purpose, which is emergency power for my refrigerator, gas fireplace fan and some lights.
