I bought one of those from Aldi about three years ago at $200. For $200 it makes a great backup generator. I've loaned mine out, & used it a few times myself during ice, & wind storm blackouts. I was impressed with it's overall performance. I probably wouldn't buy it to use daily. The engine looks like a Honda knock off, seems to run run like one. The cheapest thing I've seen that's comparable is double the $200 price.

Makes you wonder how they can even build it for that money no less ship it and sell it.

Surpised it doesn't run on Coal considering the country of origin.

I might be a little nervous about hooking anything expensive up to it, dirty power at 50Hz can be bad for electronics.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to buy up 50 of them and resale them for $500 each after the next big hurricane. Only Joking.
