I got one of these for ~$130 on Black Friday in 2016. This was one of the best purchases I ever made and I think I'll order another one for $170 now and be very happy.

This cheap little generator works so amazingly well. We have sent ours to hell and back - its been left out in the mud in the pasture for months, covered in snow, rained on, etc. I don't think we've ever changed the oil. It just keeps on running when we need it to operate the heaters for our pasture water troughs. It's small enough that its easy to carry around, and the engine is small enough that my wife can start it without complaining.

Absolutely love this generator. It works so well and is so cheap that I think it's probably the best value in generators around.

Dude stfu, I ordered 2 instead of 1 because of your multiple posts. Believe it or not people use generators for more than phone chargers. Battery generators capable of powering a furnace, sump pump or refrigerator are extremely expensive. The batteries will occupy landfills til the end of time and take slave labor to mine them. Screw you.

Do you realize that the power you use to charge your electric generator comes from burning coal or nuclear power plant which can cause environmental disaster? Do you even know where the batteries come from and how they are made? Are you aware of battery disposal environment impact? Do your own research and realize that you will leave larger environmental footprint with batteries rather than gas.

it's an inverter generator so it will throttle up and down depending on load, so the runtime will vary. I've never calculated the time but I can say that we leave ours running overnight or all day long and don't ever feel like we need to be concerned about the fuel usage. It's as good on gas as any of the generators we own (which is a lot)

Very unlikely, but total up the power consumption of the freezers.

Don't expect this little guy to be able to run anything with a compressor or large motor but it's super light weight and runs forever on a full tank. It's great for lights and fans and charging phones.

I have seen people start a 5k window AC but that's the most you can expect, the actual current the inverter is designed for is 700 watts

I'm buying it for a new Zoller sump pump backup.

*actually this prob won't cut it. I have a 1/2 pump and it pulls a1100-1500 watts running.

Quote from benjid23 :

I wouldn't count on this being able to do either. Both sump pump and furnace are liable to have a high initial surge wattage that will likely make these shut off.

Quote from DInozero :

Depends on the freezers, but it probably wouldn't be reliable if the answer is yes. If two happen to kick on just at the right moment, it'll probably overload the generator and trigger its shut off.

No, I've tested with 5 and 7 cu foot, overload on both

Walmart had the same deal on New Years 2023 - a year ago. Okay it was $160, but close enough.

It's not a heavyweight inverter, but if you need something for tailgating, sound, electronics, light use within a small camper with no mains electricity nearby, it's good. Pull started easily, and it's super light. I use it to run a lower-wattage food warmer and lights when I'm working outdoor markets at night. It's a way better deal than anything at HF and it's a fairly solid unit.
