That is cheap! I have a 1500 watt Coleman. I paid $400 for it. It has 2 110 ac and a 12v dc outlet. It runs on gasoline for abought 5 hours with 50% load. Don T.

Al,
i actually have one of those very unreliable and hard to start,maybe mine is just a lemon,but remember the old saying "you only get what you paid for " Also i think battery inverters are much better as the keep going automatically as soon as the power stops,A generator is good when your there but it seems the power always goes off when your not around so who start's the generators.If you do go for a generator you can't go past a honda 4stroke electric start !


cheers

Darren. My Honda is running right now. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
The last storm last month we got pounded and no loss of power. This one wasn't even half of last one where I live and here we are with none.
Very unusal I have internet.
Normally the cable line gets disconnected.

I bought two generators before I bought a Honda and now have Honda lawn mower and pressure washer.

I'm sold on them.

Honda is kindof pricy but they are the most reliable and quietest.

Yes as i said you only get what you pay for ! Honda's do cost a few more bucks but in the end could save you thousand's by not letting you down !
