HF Gen on Sale
I see the little 900 peak genny is on sale for 88.88 through the end of the month. I am going today, but for a tool box.

900 watts isn't gonna run much of anything.
Honest to goodness.. lighten up..
900W CAN do a lot and SIP FUEL doing it..
It isn't any different than someone buying a 1000W HONDA to run a small power tool..
My Dad many years ago had a 375W HF surplus gen given to him.. That thing was awesomely miserly on fuel usage, not all that noisy and could easily power a TV and a few lights.. Not to mention with a small battery charger you COULD go into a remote place and charge a battery..
That gen was about the same weight as a weedeater and extremely compact..
The only downside to HF is it is a one and done, no parts what so ever available for repairing but heck at $88 vs $800 for a Honda 1000W WHO CARES if it breaks..
Why is it that the majority of folks just can't get past the idea there are folks that simply can not afford to spend $1000 to $2000 and if a $88 gen is what they can afford.. WHY beat the tar out of those folks just because they CAN'T afford YOUR idea of a hobby???
Right on! I own a 2800 watt Yamaha because it is very quiet and provides a clean source of power. I also own a 4000 watt Powermate or some other name to use when I lose power at my house. The Yamaha cost 3 times the cost of the Powermate which has an electric starter. Each one serves a different purpose.
