What's with all these generators Ben? Is the world coming to an end or something?
Don't think of it as the end turtles, think of it as a new beginning.
That's pretty weak output...Good for powering your laptop.
Weak output? Really?? That's a little more then 8amps at 120vac. Not sure what laptop your using but most laptop power adapters are between .5-1.5 amps ac draw peak, so that would be 10 laptops you could run from this, or a desktop with LCD monitor, etc. $200 for 8amps of clean (inverter) power is not a bad deal.
Quality/longevity of the item is another story, but I can't speak either way to that.
The east coast was hammered with a 1-2 punch from Irene and then the freak snow storm in October. Many lost power for weeks in each storm. Finding a generator in the east during that time was impossible... lines in stores formed for the CHANCE that a truck was coming with a generator. I ended up finally getting one at 6:01 in the morning at HD and I got a 5500W. Good Generator, but during the second storm I was already wishing that I got one larger.
I have no idea what I would do with a 1000W... meh.
You guys are comparing apples to oranges... your 5500w generator was NOT $200, very large/heavy, very noisy and most likely did not have an inverter (clean/sine-wave power).
This isn't to power up your entire house. It's $200!!! For the price/size/quietness and having 8amps of pure sine-wave output this is a good deal.
For $200 I doubt if this thing has an "sine wave inverter" more like "modified square wave"...
Duracell smartpower technology provides clean sine wave power under 3-percent
This is something I would take to Camping. But!. I have no use for something like this at this time. 215 is a little pricy for me. I seen a 800 watts under 100 bucks.. Yes!. Duracell makes good battery. Don't know if they makes good generators..
