I couldn't justify the price of the named brand for my needs. I just wanted a small generator that I could take on my sailboat a few times a year to run an AC in hopes the wife would tollerate a few overnights on the coast. After a lot of web searching, youtube research, and review crunching, I decided on this little guy. What a great buy. It is light, quiet, and runs well. It is thoughtfully designed with all the buttons and switches clearly marked and a well engineered gas cap. When I got it, I put in new oil, ran it for the time prescribed, replaced the oil, very little shavings. I bought a little run meter so I could keep up with the hours. I haven't used it on the boat yet, but I've used it a couple of other times. Once to run a power tool, and once on a camping trip with our little camper trailer that doesn't have a generator. It ran the camper AC and lights just fine. A high dollar camping trailer next to us had the high dollar named brand generator of the same size. Ours ran just like his, but ours was even quieter. Haha, that felt good. It starts within a few pulls when it's been sitting up for a while, and if I've run it within a few days, it starts first pull. I take it out of the shed to start it every few months just to make sure it will be ready when I need it. I haven't been disappointed yet. Buy it. Edit: one year after my first review, I thought I would update. The gen is still running great, no issues. I use methanol free gas and always run the fuel out of the line and carburetor by turning the orange knob. I think using ethanol free means you don't have to do that, but if you've ever had to clean gunk out of a carb, you don't mind the extra precaution. I'm attaching a vid of me pulling it out of the shed after a few months of non use. It took 7 pulls to get the gas fully back into the line. One pull restarts when fuel is in the line.

Being an older lady, I could no longer move my larger generators around. I really only needed something to power the fridge/freezer and charge my batteries and power stations. I've used it for the last year off and on a few hours at a time when power goes out for any length of time. Its managable with its lighter weight suitcase design. I will say that it takes 10 pulls or so to get it to crank. But I let the carb run dry before storage. But it cranks and runs smoothly. Fits my needs perfectly. Its really quiet in my opinion having had much larger ones. The screw in oil funnel is so awesome. While it only had a total of about 12 hours on it, I just changed it and was glad I did. It was dark. The funnel made it so easy to drain into an old bottle and add fresh oil. I dont need to run it for more than a few hours at a time, so I cant advise on all day use. But its built for ease of use for sure

UPDATE: 10/3/23 We brought this item into the shop and found out there was a missing wire. The guy fixed it for us and didn't charge too much. Since then we have been using it regularly and it is really efficient, pretty quiet and is very lightweight. Was surprised it even runs our saws. It's a shame they don't have better customer service, we could have been using it much sooner. We purchased this as a backup for our bigger generator. We didn't try it right away but while still within the return window we tried to start it. Followed the directions to a T and even went back through everything to make sure, double and triple checked. It never would start. I was told to contact company who insist I send them a video of me trying to start it. We had already drained oil and gas to ship and this was a ridiculous request as far as I was concerned. I told them exactly what happened when I pulled the chord. They would not respond to emails or phone calls. The return window with Amazon closed and now I have a giant, expensive paperweight. Very disappointed and upset with this purchase.

Starts easy. Louder than I thought but not loud. Doesn't seem to put out more than 1000 watts. If you don't have a little breeze even outside the CO2 sensor will shut it down. Turn it on at 900pm and it runs out of gas at 300 am. Plan ahead.
