This is a two stroke 1000 watt generator. It set me back $125 on eBay. I’ve been using it for a year and a half, so it has some real hours on it.
Although only 1000 Watts, it will power most of my needs. I primarily use it to top off my battery charge when the days are cloudy and my solar suitcase isn’t making enough power. I also use it to run my clothes washing machine and sometimes I’ll turn it on to watch a movie on my tv.
I carry a small two gallon gas can that has the gas and oil mixture. This thing always starts on the second or third pull. I’ve driven over 30,000 miles with it bouncing around in the back of my truck, left it out in the rain and elements, and basically I’ve never been gentle with this little thing. It has a handle and weighs maybe 20 pounds. I have seen some replacement parts available online. I have replaced the pulley and cord with a better quality one.
So basically this is a very cheap, but well built generator that has been keeping my batteries full and me happy for a very long time.
