I have one of the little 1000W Harbor Freight generators which works great. I'm using it right now to charge the house batteries in my solar powered home because of zero sun for a few days. Pretty quiet, starts easy, fuel efficient, easily runs a 40 amp battery charger which is pretty much it's sole purpose.

I purchased a Chicago Electric 3500W Model 96898 through Harbor Freight tools for $299 about 3 months ago. The first real test run was a weekend camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It ran flawlessly, and it was not too loud when running with my homemade encloser while in the back of my truck, you could almost not hear it while in my HTT with tent ends. It has (2) 15 amp outlets and (1) 4 prong 120/240 outlet. I have plugged my HTT into the 15amp outlet using an adapter and have been able to run the A/C and micro at the same time so I am assuming that I get full power to the outlets. I as wondering if anyone else has picked up this generator and what their experiences were.
Thanks
