1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware this is a ripoff, July 15, 2005

By	William L. Keating "bill" (texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered it, Amazon took my money, Northern Tools sent it, and it does not run.
Northeren tools has a no return policy on generators. They send out a generator that can not run (no spark) and refuse to refund the money or allow you to return the product or exchange it. The phone numbers listed in the operators manual for the manafacturer are disconnected. Amazon does not state this all sales are final in their adds so they contribute to the rip off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will not power too many appliances but enough to avoid damage., September 1, 2007

By	Rick V "Bargain hunter by day, shopaholic at ... (IN) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

We bought this after severe thunderstorms put us without power for nearly a week.
This unit will drive 1 sum pump, maybe 2, but that is really it. This is all we need it for and therefore we think it is worth the price.
If you need to drive a freezer/fridge and sump pumps you will need a 3250 watt unit. If you want to hook your airco in as well starts looking at a 5000 watt unit.
This one, again, helps save us from waterdamage and is GREAT to have on camping trips. It is quiet and relatively fuel efficient if you give it little tasks.
The unit is the size of a small ice cooler and weighs a bit more. We have used it several times and it is steady and reliable like a diesel train: it does not switch off and starts easily.
Good little helper in case of power outages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Generator for the money, October 20, 2005

By	Bobby D (Melbourne, FL) - See all my reviews

I bought this generator to use on my boat. I paid $176 at Pep Boys and couldn't be more pleased. I plugged it directly in my boat AC input and ran all my AC appliances with no trouble. A boat generator is $7000. What a steal!

When you start it, be sure the ON/OFF switch is ON and the fuel shut off is ON. Choke it all the way and when it starts, move the choke to off. Not a big deal once you have the procedure down. If you are having trouble than you are doing something wrong. It is noiser than the more expensive units but that doesn't bother me since I use it outdoors.

You can always pay $700 more for a quieter unit but to me its not worth the extra money. I also didn't find it greasy or smelly.
