Neighbor down the street is calling me in a panic he needs a generator for his some pump or his basement will start flooding. I didn't want to take by brand new one that is still in a Box my 2000 W I have not prepped it yet. Would have brought my motor home over but was in storage 2 towns over. I did have this generator in the picture brand new up in my attic for years in fact I told him I bought it 4 years ago and hopefully will start. I took it to his home with one of those quart pre mix cans of gas you buy at lowes or a big Box store I am sold on them. I take the generator out of the Box brand new 2 cycle as seen in the photo and the receipt is still in the Box I actually purchased it in 2008. Never ever put gas in it or started it. I filled it with gas and it started on a second PULL and is actually a super nice emergency generator that anybody could buy with a coupon for $99 you will be set with an emergency power source that you might not ever have to use but is kind of a cool thing to have, it is super super lightweight quiet and comes with a 12 V battery charging connection also. I realize there are bigger better fancier generators or other ways but in an emergency and after 10 years of being in this Box starting on 2nd PULL was really impressive. I would think a $99 insurance policy to carry with you no bigger than the size of 2 shoe boxes would be worth it In an extreme emergency. I do carry a backup Generator in rig in case batteries are depleted. This little thing can help at home and on the road.
