I bought mine about 4 years ago. Its a Coleman brand, but the same one that HF sells. I only use it at our campsite (MY private property)to power an electric chainsaw, a battery charger and an air compressor. It starts and runs flawlessly and powers everythimng I need powered. Yeah, its real noisy (I don't care) and its a 2-stroke (but so is my weedwacker, so gas is already avaialable. At $89 it was a no-brainer compared to a $1000 Honda. I've only changed the plug once (PM, not required) and no other problems came up. Definately a good buy.
