if it's a generator like this one that Aldi are selling, stay well clear:

That's the one on offer in Aldi only a different colour ! Good price as these usually retail about the £100-£110 mark in various guises.
Pretty basic as generators go and they seem to only regulate the voltage by the speed of the motor there is no voltage regulation to Speak of so connection to sensitive equipment would be risky. It does have a 12v outlet which would be usefull for charging caravan/boat batteries, fuel usage is low, I ran one for 5-6 Hrs once during a scheduled power outage at work and did not use all of the 4 Ltr capacity. This is probably the cheapest generator you can buy in the U.K. 2005 Td5 90 XS Steve |

If you do a search,, seam to remember Honda sized a load of kippor units and crushed them as copyright
