Ditto, absolute junk, and scary output quality - anything from 100 under
load to 700 volts as load is removed, far too rough for any sensible use.
Got rid of mine.
Replaced it with a Kama KGE 1000 for about £350 from Ebay. This works well
but also will drive (charge) an APC 1400VA UPS. The UPS is connected to
stuff around the house that needs it, routers, video, phones, PCs, TV etc.
If the powercut lasts for more than 30 minutes I use the generator to
charge
up the UPS. Works well.
