I bought one of these little dudes at Harbor Freight about six weeks ago. It was about $88 with a coupon. Regular price is $109. Coupons on line.

It's a little 2 cycle 700 watt 2 HP machine. I use it at my boat dock to power the air pump for a boat lift. I was not sure if it would handle the load or especially the start up amps but it does well. Bears down yes but no problems at all.
Only 38 pounds so easy to carry.
I broke it in with no load for 20 minutes and when I start it now, I warm it up with no load for five minutes and then cool down with no load for 3. I burn 32/1 since it operates at very high load (don't flame me for not using the 50/1 recommended) and I use full synthetic FD rated 2 cycle oil.
Very quiet and seems well made.
Much better than no generator when you need one. It's like what they say about a .25 caliber pistol. "It's better than throwing rocks".
