Review: So Cheap it is Dangerous - I bought this for a friend who is very familiar with engines and generators. It did not last a month and was so cheaply made there were multiple instances where it could have caught fire simply being turned on. I am shocked that this company has not been sued for damages.
Review: Nice little generator - I got this as to use for basic back up power for hurricanes and it does the job I need it to. For clarity my model is rated at 1200w peak and 1000w running, I’ve seen a couple versions of this on desertcart. I’ve been through a couple of extended power outages with it and it can power a tv, some fans, some led lamps and a mini fridge without fuss which is exactly what I was looking for. With that sort of load I was using a gallon of gas every four hours or so which is fine. Starting was easy and it runs without any issues. Noise is a bit high but that’s a small worry. Overall I’m happy with this little guy, it gives me enough creature comforts during some bad times and the small size is easy to deal with. Recommended!

### ⭐ So Cheap it is Dangerous

I bought this for a friend who is very familiar with engines and generators. It did not last a month and was so cheaply made there were multiple instances where it could have caught fire simply being turned on. I am shocked that this company has not been sued for damages.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little generator
*by J***L on October 14, 2024*

For clarity my model is rated at 1200w peak and 1000w running, I’ve seen a couple versions of this on Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t kill it
*by O***R on January 13, 2023*

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with this 1000w generator. I mean, I bought it for mobile detailing with the intent of upgrading later on. However, I never expected it to be the Nokia phone of generators. I've been beating the crap out of it for two years now and it just keeps going and going and going. I've used it with tools that far exceed its wattage rating, incorrectly mixed fuel, rarely let it warm up before putting maximum load on it, and I haven't serviced the air filter or spark plug once. And yet, it still runs like a top. Even in sub-freezing temperatures, it starts with only a few pulls. It frightens me. I’ve been intentionally trying to kill it, but every night it whispers threats to me in my dreams. It knows when I’m trying to overload it and instead psychologically terrorizes me to the point of sobbing and runs off my tears only to output the energy of the Sun and reliability of a Honda. I'm convinced this thing is indestructible. I'm thinking of putting wheels on it and entering it in a demolition derby just to win the coveted first place trophy desired by rednecks across the globe. Overall, I highly recommend this generator to anyone in need of a reliable and durable power source. Just don't expect to have the luxury of it having a lifetime shorter than yours. It's like the cockroach of generators. On a serious note, it has only had two problems: 1. The power supply wire came loose from vibration and wouldn’t supply power. It was a quick fix (5 minutes). 2. It leaked fuel between the tank and feed line. Again, it was just from all of the hours of harsh vibration. Just needed to take off the front panel and secure the line. This whole generator is very easy to work on in case anything goes wrong and uses universal parts. I highly recommend it.
