Thank you for this review, as I am looking to run my CPAP machine, a TV, and a DVD player, as the power goes out a lot in my area 🙂

[@theconnectedcamper]

This little machine should do just that without problem :) it's nice and lightweight too!

[@hiramnoone]

Sold me. I need something to charge a solar power station when there's no sun. Wanted something that uses regular gas. Doubt if I'll use it for anything else.
Thanks for the vid.
Subed your channel.

Did you use regular 10% ethanol gasoline? 89 octane?

[@theconnectedcamper]

In my area it is 87 octane with 10% ethanol. When it isn't in use the carb is drained, so it isn't an issue, and I would suggest doing the same if using ethanol! Also toss some Stabil or Seafoam in just to be safe and it should run happily for you.

@@theconnectedcamper Cool,, I watched another video and the guy mentioned using 100% gasoline, which is available in 2 gas stations, but pretty far away. I was unsure if the manual suggested it, or it was just the suggestion of the content creator. 🙂

@@erich6860 Some small engine "purists" will tell you not to use ethanol, but I will tell you to use it responsibly. Go ahead and use it, just drain gasoline from the carb before storing and you should be golden!

How long can that run the waffle iron on its own. Kinda random but I need a generator that will run a waffle iron

[@theconnectedcamper]

Once the waffle iron gets to temp it cycles on and off, so its somewhat hard to say. This generator would likely run a waffle iron for 8 hours on one tank of gas, but that is an estimate.

What type of oil?

[@theconnectedcamper]

I use full synthetic 5w30. This is because in Iowa the temps I'll be using it will range from 0F to 100F.
