Pros: Has 240 Volts it will run my well pump, easy to start via pull or electric, excellent muffler, a cast iron sleeve so the engine should last, and decent build quality for the price. I bought this generator on sale on Black Friday for $279 with free shipping. The price was so good, I doubt they could make any money selling it at that Black Friday price. Just the shipping alone from CA for IL would eat up quite a bit of the money I paid. I'm very impressed with the generator so far. I bought it to replace an old 5 HP, 2250 watt generator was down on compression and really hard to start. This generator has electric start, but also a pull starter. I started it for the first time with the pull starter and it fired right up on the first pull! This generator is also much quieter than my old one. I have a sound meter and it measured right at 72 dBa vs my old generator's 80 dBa. That 8 db difference is really big from inside the house. The old one really made a racket, where this one isn't bad at all. The owners manual is very detailed, and it came with pictures to help ease the assembly. A 250 Volt 30 Amp Twist plug end and 120 volt plug end were also included which was an unexpected bonus. For the money I paid, I don't think this generator can be beat. Even at the regular selling price, I think this generator is an incredible value.

Cons: The cons are a couple of minor issues that I was able to deal with. 1. The battery tray is only spot welded to the frame and one of the spot welds was broken, so the tray was only supported on one end. I was able to come up with a quick fix using some silicone to glue down the other and and a few zip ties to keep the battery securely tied down and not vibrating. 2. The air cleaner cover is partially blocked by the round tubing of the frame making it a little hard to remove and put back on. It takes a bit of wrangling to do.

Overall Review: It would be nice if a natural gas conversion kit was offered for this generator. I see they make another model that supports LPG and Natural Gas. I have a natural gas line outside for my grill so a natural gas hook up would be easy for me. I don't think you can go wrong with this generator if you're looking for backup generator at an incredible value. It's not as quiet and as well built as a Honda, but I was surprised at how well it is built for the money. Time will tell, but I think it's going to hold up well. The next time we have a power outage during a store, it will be really nice being able to run my well pump with this generator.

Pros: Clever design, good features, great price! For $99 bucks I got a cool little Windows 10 PC with the latest Atom CPU, fast 802.11 a/c, bluetooth 4.0, built in battery, clean Windows 10 install, enough free space to download and update to the latest windows 10 version. Very nice enclosure design. Enough ports for my bedroom HTPC needs. All this for around the price of a Windows 10 license, that's pretty awesome!

Cons: Overheats easily and starts throttling the CPU when playing some HD video using VLC. I bought this to use as a bedroom HTPC and liked the idea of a fan-less design. Unfortunately I'm having CPU throttling problems when playing some HD video files over my network. For certain apps (e.g. VLC) and codecs, the CPU utilization is too high, the CPU gets hot, starts to throttle, then you have choppy unwatchable video. Some video plays OK, and other video doesn't, it all depends on the CPU requirements of the codecs involved. I also wish there was a way to turn off the bright blue LED in the BIOS so I don't have to cover it with tape.

Overall Review: This is a really cool little device at a great price point. I purchased a 80x25 USB powered 17 DBA fan that I hope will solve the throttling problems and not disturb my sleep. It would be nice to know where the CPU is mounted inside the case to better understand how I can best keep it cool. I currently have this velcroed to the back of my wall-mounted flat screen TV. I have the velcro on the smooth back side of the device, and I have the device mounted horizontally since I figured this would help with convection cooling. But if the CPU dissipates a lot of heat on the bottom of the case, I may need to come up with another mounting solution to help keep it cool.
