Excellent Generator for it's intended use, April 25, 2008
By FEAW from Phoenix, AZ

"I bought this generator 8 years ago, back in 2000, no problems yet.

I have used it for my travel trailer to power the toaster, coffee pot, power tools, and sometimes a Shop Vac, with no problems. It’s not big enough to run the A/C. I have used it during a long power outage for the refrigerator and a chest freezer.

It seems to be holding up well. It’s easy to start, not too loud and simple to maintain.

This is an excellent Generator for it's intended use. Probably would not be a the first choice for a contractor or for frequent heavy duty applications."

dependable power, November 1, 2007
By Larry63 from South Brunswick Islands, NC

"I have used this brand for several generators over the past 11 years and still get great service from them. This model is economical and delivers power every time for job site work for tools and for lighting at night. Easy to start and quiet."
