Powermate Vx Series 1200 Watt Portable Generator

Bought this as a back up to my big generator, so I could run small things when I did not want to run the big one which uses more gas if for some reason long term power is out. This is for emergencies only so when I got it I tested it, ran it. Had it run a microwave that takes 950w to power (it is a 600 w cooking microwave but if you look at the back of any microwave it tells you how much power it needs coming in). So when I turned on the microwave the generator slowed for a second or two and then ran the microwave fine. I did not hook anthing else up to it while the micrwave was on but this was my test for what I need it for. I then stored it via the instructions for long term storage. Pretty easy to more around, found it to be well built. It will work fine for my intended use.
