Sweet little genny. Does pretty good under a load test. Could be a nice low price option for those that dont need to power a microwave or AC unit. Negative for some is that it uses mixed 2 stroke gasoline. But the benefit is that mixed gas does not degrade as quick. So the likelihood of a clogged up carb is reduced. Those of us with Onans know all about ethanol gas giving us carb problems.
The biggest disadvantage to me of 2 stroke engines is the pollution -- they emit 5 - 10X more hydrocarbons than a small 4 stroke engine, and 20 - 30 times more than a car (due to the emissions control devices on the car).
Even if you don't care about adding to air pollution, if you're using it near others in a campground, they will care.
