I sold my little red major brand name 4 stroke generator to pocket some cash and buy this one as a back up generator. I inspected it and all seemed well as far as nuts tightened and the like. The very first time I started it, it started on about the 10th pull, and after that usually starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull. Not bad. It idles a little rough compared to the 4 stroke, but that's about normal for a 2 stroke. But when a load is put on it, it runs smooth - and sounds like my old 2 stroke outboard cruising across the lake, and this made me smile with my purchase. Also, the sound level is about the same as my old "quiet" 4 stroke generator. What I like about this being a 2 stroke engine is that I never have to adjust valves like a 4 stroke. On my old little red 4 stroke generator, you had to practically disassemble the entire engine casing to get at the valves and the entire valve adjustment job took a couple hours - this is just impractical. Also, the DC charging cables are included free, whereas with the 4 stroke you have to pay extra for them. And I'll never have to lift the unit up and turn it on it's side to do an oil change like the 4 stroke - no oil changes ever. The main thing to keep in mind when considering purchasing this unit is how much it will power. It will power continuously 900 watts or less. It will power 900 to 1000 watts for a short time, maybe 15 minutes before the breaker will trip, and you have to let it cool and reset it. So if you size it right, there is no problem.
