Portable 2000-watt Generator

Rating

After ordering this generator I read some reviews that were negative about it. However I am very pleased not only with the fast shipping but the product itself. In fact the more I've used the generator the more I like it. It starts on the first pull and provides the power I need for my camper. I use it for a microwave and refridgerator and it seems to do the job well. I would reccommend this to anyone looking for a small portable power supply.

For the money, it was the best deal I could find. It was shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. Used it for camping. It did it's job for our microwave but kicked off when we used the coffee pot. I would still recommend it for light camping. We are very pleased.

Bought the unit brand new during power outage to run my pellet stove and a light or two. Would just stop for no apparent reason. But after much fussing got it to run consistently, which it did for about another 6 hours then stopped permanently. There is no compression when I pull the starter cord, so I am assuming the rings or valves are shot. Am waiting for a response from Customer service.

I shopped around a lot looking for a good generator. This was my final descion mostly based on price and wattage. When I received this box all looked good, I took it out of the box added fuel and started it. I had not problems at all. Later that week I packed it in my trailer for a trip (Memorial weekend). On the first day the pull start thing broke. After looking at the unit I found the problem....the pull start crank unit is kinda a circle mounted on the side of the motor with about 5-6 screws holding it in place on the side of the motor so you can pull start the motor.. Well the very top (where the rope comes out) the bolt was missing. When I say missing I mean not even drilled!! There was no hole in the motor where the screw should have been. The plastic piece that broke off of the unit where the screw was supposed to be (where the rope comes out) obviously just broke from the stress of starting it and not bolt to hold it, not only is it obvious it needed a bolt because the thing broke but you can see all the other ones around the circle and you can see the spot in the part that broke where the screw was supposed to go, it's very obvious. I was really blown away when I saw this...not just a missing or lose screw, but no hole drilled at all with threads for screw. Which means the unit can't even be fixed without drilling a hole and and putting threads inside. I'm not even sure if it can be returned because of time.....wish I would have seen the missing screw/hole sooner, or it would have broke first pull or something :( other than that it seemed to work fine.... I brought a portable AC unit with us to keep cool, states it draws 950watts but every time the AC unit actually kicked in it it shut right back down. The generator could not surge in time to keep it running. I had a friend rev the generator for a short min and then turned the AC on and it worked, but soon as we let go the the throtle the generator surged and the AC went out again. Kinda disapointing :( it was really HOT! This generator did run lights, radios and other stuff with no problem.....after carefully pull starting it of course. My over all rating is about 2 out of 5. It was nicely priced and looked nice, but the missing bolt and hole really tanted my opinion. Once started it ran most of my things though...
