Anyone heard of this cheap ($150), small generator?

[zamboni]

Since I only want something for very occasionally charging the battery when camping - not running blenders, AC, microwave, etc... I cannot justify an expensive Honda generator.

However, I found a "cousin" to the one that 6Quigs brought to Pismo last year:

Cost: about $150 (on eBay, cheaper, new).

It weighs 45 lbs, ~900 watts, supposedly 57db, but does need 50:1 premix (not a big deal), 6 hours on about 1 gallon.


I measured the wattage in my hybrid, and I'd need 1500+ for the microwave (with converter also using 200 watts) and 1800+ peak for the air condioner.  Thus, I'd need a big generator (very expensive) to be of any use.  Thus, why I just want a battery-charging one...
