No issues. Louder than I expected, but overall a great deal ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little generator *by on Reviewed in the United States October 14, 2024* 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 Amazon. 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! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Early testing results *by on Reviewed in the United States December 24, 2021* This cost double what they were a couple of years ago, but still may be worth your purchase. I've only ran it for testing purposes so far. Here are my thoughts.* relatively light weight and small size (what I needed)* a bit louder than higher-end generators. Less noise than a lawn mower, but...* seems to run okay (but it is NOT broken in, yet. I think 5 hours is the break-in period)When I first got it, I took out the sparkplug and shot a little WD40 into the cylinder and gave the starter cord a few pulls to lubricate the cylinder. Added the fuel/oil mixture to the tank then put the ignition switch on and the choke on "start". Gave it a few more pulls to get the fuel into the bowl, then tried to start it. Took 7 pulls to start and ran really rough (as expected). I moved the choke to 1/2 off and let it run another 15 seconds, then slowly moved the choke to "Run".While idling, the rpm's weren't steady at all. I had heard that you may need to adjust the idle screw (which you can see near the pull-start handle, but don't know how you get at it to adjust. Anyway, it settled down, mostly. After letting it idle for about 5 minutes, I ran a 10 watt load just to test the AC power. I then ran a 600 watt load (I couldn't find anything smaller). The motor sags, at first, then revved up to handle the load. I ran it for about 8 minutes, then turned off the load and shut off the fuel. It ran for another minute then quit.I ran the same test today, using my digital watt/voltage/amp meter. Ran the same load as before. Running a 600 watts/5 amps vacuum cleaner, it seemed to run just okay. It was almost, but not quite a steady idle. The voltage fluctuated between 118 and 124 mostly. Near the very beginning, it was really hunting and was between 110 and 130 volts but settled down after a couple of minutes.I'm taking it out for an extended trip, so I hope to get some more experience with it and will update in the future.
