Cheap gennys are usually Chinese, dear ones are normally Hondas

sorry to say it but theres no such thing as a good cheap genny,
two stroke gennys aint much cop,
if you want one to last more then a year get a 4 stroke
s/h honda would be a good investment

many thanks colin

ive got this one and its great i dont struggle to lift it either, only problem tho i believe the max is 1400w so the 1500w vac may be a bit to much for it..
