It's the best generator I've ever owned. Super quiet and in auto mode, it even responds to the blank tv time between commercials and revs down, instantly! Sips fuel, and incredibly well designed. Pricey, but it's a mercedes for sure.
Just got one of these little babys, it is a great generator because it puts out quite a bit more than the 1000w units, but a little less than the 2000w. In other words, it puts out the perfect amount of juice for camping or running small tools, and efficient to run a long, long time on very little gas. Still made in Japan.....or at least mine is.
Great little generator that hums to the sound of electricity. Customer services was great; I had it serviced once free of charge with no hassle. Subura replaced the unit with a new one. I paid hefty for it but I enjoy the low noise, lightweight and long running time.
The price may seem a little high but wait until you learn ROBIN quality. You won't howl anymore. This very quiet model can run most of the things in your house if you run them one at a time. I won't gobble fuel and the low noise and long running time make it very nice. Just please take care of this fine machine and it should serve you well.
