If its anything like the one I bought from Makro a couple of years ago the
other disadvantage is that they are total rubbish.
Starting them for the first time takes absolutely ages. It needs to run for
about 5 minutes before any load can be put on it or it stalls.
Then it will run for an indeterminate period, sometimes 5 minutes,
sometimes
10, sometimes one minute before stalling. Will restart instantly only to
stop a few minutes later.
That happens with a constant load of a couple of hundred watt lead lights
in
the garage. I dread to think what it would be like with a non linear load
:-(
Wish I had spent more and got a little Honda genny.
