Starts easily. Very quiet. Runs a 6.2 amp Metabo angle grinder almost flawlessly. Sometimes, when it bogs down in a heavy cut, the genny will stall, but in fairness, it's probably drawing more amps than the genny is rated for in that situation. I just work a little slower and it gets through the work just fine. Also have to let it warm up for a minute or so if going to be working it to its limits.
I run it with non-ethanol gas and leave the gas in it. It's got a fuel cut off switch that lets you kill the motor by running the carb dry, which makes for easier starts in the future.
I'd feel very comfortable with any application up to 6 or 7 amps. Any more than that, you need a bigger genny.

Funny enough, yesterday I had to use it as our house lost power for the first time in the last 5+ years. It started right away (even though I had non-ethanol fuel in it for more than 6 months) and worked with no issues for 2-3 hours we were without power.
I like that it is very small (I can take it with me for a camping trip in pretty much any vehicle) and quiet.
However, I feel like its power capabilities are extremely questionable. I tested it with various loads using Kill-A-Watt meter and it already starts showing signs of dying at 650-700W. It is still more than enough for my backup needs (my fish tanks + electronics would draw 300-400W max in total), but I am watching the market for a 2000w inverter model if it ever goes on sale again. I think 2000w peak would've been a much safer bet in a long run, though they are bigger, heavier and twice as expensive most of the time.
My biggest concern is QC on those - I got mine with a side panel cracked and judging by the hit marks, it got cracked BEFORE the panel was installed (so it happened at the factory for sure, not in transit!). I thoroughly tested it and decided to keep it anyway, but that is still not nice to know that the quality control on those is almost non-existent.
