I purchased this generator for to reasons 1 for work and the other is to power items in the house when I have a power failure. It starts fine no problem and supports all items I have put to it.

For the price, this is a good backup unit, December 29, 2011 By Sean T. Busch (Austin, TX)
(REAL NAME)

For $199 shipped, this is hard to beat. This said, there are also things to note which may lead you to pay more for a nicer unit.

This unit is mass-produced and it seems to be a little lacking on quality assurance based on all of the reviews. I had one overnighted to my in-laws just prior to Hurricane Irene. This saved hundreds of dollars worth of food in the fridge and a little sanity as they were able to run a light and also the TV when the fridge was off. This alone paid for itself. As noted by some more in-depth interviews, the 2KW rating is a little optimistic. It will bog down around 1600 watts and probably will shut down at 2000.

The big positive is that this unit is a 4-stroke and is notably quiet for an engine. It will burn through a tank of gas in about 5 or so hours. The spark plug installed from the factory is terrible. It fouled out after about 3 days of use. It also runs a little dirty during the break-in period so expect to do an oil change early on and to do some general cleaning with the fuel system. Once you get past the fact that these items are a bit sloppy from the factory and you break it in, this is a great device for backup.

After getting them through almost 2 weeks without power, they will be looking into a 5-10 kw generator with plenty of features that will mimic actually having electricity. For the occasional outage or need to use in a remote location, this unit is just fine. And again, at $200, its a deal.

Compact, light, pretty quiet, strong enough motor which is easy to start. Very friendly customer support when i called for technical questions. Has many features like Honda power units come with but much more cost effective.
