I Bought The CHEAPEST Generator On Amazon...

The fluctuation in voltage within tollance is very normal.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, so take this as blabbering on. But, I'm sure I have heard these types of generators are only good for "simple loads", because the electric output is "messy" you wouldn't want to power something like a computer with it, or similar devices.

The 2 stroke gasoline is pink because it is regular gas with purple looking oil mixed in.

Nobody buy this. As an electrician.... This thing will burn your house down. Doesn't have a regulator/transformer.

The thing I'd be most concerned about with this thing is anything with a AC motor in it.

i.e. refrigerators, freezers, the fan on a furnace. The dirtiness, and variable frequency of the power is potentially a problem for an AC motor that depends on the AC power. Just the sort of things you'd want to power up during a power outage.

Same, 2 pulls!

I bet the manufacture thought 110 oz is 1.1 gal because they use liters and 1100 ml is 1.1 liters lol

I want to see you put an oscilloscope on that thing and see if the power is clean or all jacked up.

She aint got no spark or gas, eww and it sounds like a weedeater

Thanks and we now know cheap crap is crap.

No don't get that thing. My generator was gave to me and after I got I seen y.

It will burn 🔥 up your TV 📺 ask me how I know.

5000 pules I had 1.

Between the Two Generator decibel test you did. I would say the Test would be even with each other. As both Generators came within a Certain decibel range and were not that far apart. While Yes the Cheapest Generator was a bit louder then the other, The Range would be considered acceptable If it was part of like a Official Testing

You didn't do the battery charging side. To see if you get a better positive result. I wouldn't mind to have something like that. To charge my batteries on my semi truck during wintertime.

I wonder what this guy is thinking. Because you can't expect the little 50cc rated for 600 watts of running power. 1,100 watt is peak power. You will never get peak power out of any generator. This guy needs to test it at its running watts. All he is doing is killing the gen head. Can't fix stupid.

That voltage droop under load is bad. Could cause brown out in a lot of controllers. There's no voltage regulation whatsoever. You get what you pay for.

He sat a heat gun on top of the gas tank!
Do the words ass or dumb suit this vid!

It's fine for dumb electronics. A space heater or heat gun doesn't really need clean power. But I wouldn't even try to run a basic microwave on this thing.

Truefule is not good for engines

I had a couple of these things, they kind of worked, but I got rid of them and having to mix oil and gas BS and bought a Powermate inverter generator, MUCH better

Hey dude, I'm sorry but my wife is better at starting an engine than you are. And she does not have a clue what she is doing.

2 stroke Shoot put that baby on a minibike

When a generator says how many watts it does is it's peak watts but a generator never runs at peak watts for a long time. It's peak watts is the highest it's sapose to peak at for a second or two then it'll settle down to lower watts after spiking. You should never use a device that is rated above what the generator can handle

They work great for the price on coffee makers and small sub pumps when needed. Even a circular saw works on them. Left one out in the snow, rain, etc, for 3 years before it would no longer run.

I got the same one at harbor freight for $99. I used it for power tools before I got all my 20v stuff.

Have similar generator, 240v,in the UK,and worked fine.Not used it for a while.

Electricity or electrons actually moving past an element create a frequency. This frequency is what you see as power. So when a generator is way off the frequency of whatever the item is designed for you could really hurt any electronics or anything that has a motherboard with sensitive chips in it. Like a cell phone tower does no damage when you’re at the ground but when you’re standing in front of the antenna, your body is heating up. The electronics are exposed to extra electrons running through them and backing out at a more rapid pace. They will heat up the resistors and pretty much blow, any item that they passed through so yeah I would not use this for anything other than incandescent, lightbulbs or major power sources that just require electricity and give off light or heat. This would include LED lightbulbs because they are running based off of chips and embedded.

ITS set up to pull 750 watts atm ......put the load on it then tune it

it’s probably a brushless unit. it will run switched mode power supplies and dumb heaters well enough for emergencies

Harbor freaight sold these and stoped big mistake on there part. Great tailgate generator i want another can run my fridge tv in power down and recharge my battery back up. Will order another. The preditor is like 450. Generator no slution for long term power down to much gas

I have the tail gator harbor freight version they are literally the same thing and I bet mine has over 1000 hours on it!

No load so why do that matter?

I have a feeling that this thing is adjustable. I think you can adjust the throttle response to the output and make it set the output as usable as possible.

4 pulls

20 pulls 😆

Guys he finally changed his shirt

The fuel tank capacity was written by someone who thought it 1 gallon was 100oz, so 1.1gal would be 110oz

Where’s the Toasty T?

Those 2 stroke generators used to be $80 at harbor freight back in the day.

this little guy is actually nice to have, i have one like it for smaller tasks, and most electronics have protection circuitry that would prevent damage

Would love one of these videos doing cheap generator powering hair clippers or a livestock blower! We travel a lot and hate lugging big generators!

Ok put a regulator in line

Wait, if they wrote that the tank was 1.1 gallons, but it took 110 ounces, then maybe they just assumed 100 ounces was a gallon.

Try the tractor supply small four stroke inverter generator.

At $80-$90 this is a decent generator. At $160 it is stupid. This is a $80 gen, not a $160 gen. Tractor Supply often has a 800/1000 watt INVERTER generator on sale for $160.

The low & high voltage is due to the cheapness of the boost circuitry in the inverter. Expensive inverter generators have what you can think of as "gears" like in a car or bike. Cheap ones are like "direct drive" which are always a compromise at both the low and high end.

I have a similar 2 stroke generator except mine is 1400 watts peak,1200 watts rated, 153 cc engine and the cost was $99 from Price Mart here in Costa Rica. 2 ac outlets and 10 amp 12VDC outlet.
