It works, but it's loud and really struggles to keep a refrigerator going as the only connected device. I realize that's near the limit of it's output, so I can't ding it too bad for that. I didn't realize it was a 2-stroke when I bought it - I have a chainsaw, so usually have 50:1 fuel ready to go.

I have only just fueled up and tried it briefly with a 3.5 amp electric drill, but it seems OK. Being two-cycle, it does need to have a 50:1 fuel mixture, and it is not very quiet. But it seems quite adequate for emergency use, and will be enough to power the heat tapes for my plumbing supply and a few appliances, such as my computer, TV, and electric blanket.
