And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Pro's: it's cheap. Cons: gasoline only, very low power, short run time at full load. Note the claim: 14 hours at 25% load. That's 800 watts folks. It'll power a fridge for half a day. That's it. For $300. For another 100-150, you can get something that'll run on propane or gasoline with at least twice the gasoline power rating (50% load). Check out Wen generators. Must-have list for a useful generator: 5000 watts; dual fuel (gas goes bad in 90 days, propane stores forever); 120/240 outlets (2, 20A circuits); electric start (5000 watts = 10 hp minimum, most people can NOT pull start 10 hp); at least 10 hrs at half load gasoline capacity; low oil sensor; wheel kit. Things you don't need: CO sensor; inverter style (yeah, nice, but oversold and expensive); low voltage outlets, complicated controls and readouts (you'll never look).

I thought the "inverter" gensets are quieter. The noise level is important!
