Does "smart throttle" (eco mode)... work well with high draw power tools, like a 15A circular saw that wants power instantly? Or is there some kind of a stutter as the generator goes from low power up to full power?

It will run that saw all day long. That said though for the price and the additional power 2 yamaha 2000's tied together or 2 honda 2000s would put you far over the top. As far as stutter, no this generator will surge pretty darn quick and has enough power on hand to more than do your job. Cheers

I have not used the other products you refer to, but as far as starting it, all you need is two hands to grip the handles and away you go. As far as power, I actually have the corded electric one and have NO issues with power, but I gave the battery operated one to my father with an extra battery because I read the reviews that the battery didn't last as long. He has had no issues but does use the backup battery so he is not interrupted waiting to charge the battery when he is using it. I have had NO chain issues, and I have cut through thick branches that the guard cannot even get around (just have to maneuver more). This actually is like a small chain saw, just very safety oriented, less noise (only when you run it and cut with it), no gas/oil smells or messes. Very low maintenance. I LOVE it, my dad does too and now two of my uncles are getting them

The tool have the power regulator, I think it's powerful enough for normal household tasks, not for a machine shop.

I use it all the time with the circular saw and it works perfect... . I never had a problem like that... and I have use it a lot.

It is at a constant rpm that does not vary with electric draw nor is there a way to manually adjust. I used this generator with Hurricane Sandy outage and was very pleased. With low to moderate power draw was getting over 12 hours between gas refilling.

I have only used it on a generator or off 110 ac, best chain saw I've ever had. It is amazing what it will cut. I've owned Stihl, McCllough, Homelite and a few others, but this is a really nice saw.

I really like this generator. It does have the low oil shut off. Do not know anything about the alternator. The remote start is great. Really nice machine we use at camp. Have not had any problems with it yet other than the remote not working properly which got resolved by calling the company.

I use this generator most of the time at my cabin (8-16 hours a day). I run a larger generator to run the water pump, micro-wave, etc. I am using the small 2-cycle generator right now, the flat-screen television is on, 6 13w cork-screw bulbs, 1 14w LED flood lamp, battery charger, and a chest deep freezer. While I do run larger generators for specific appliances (like my 1/2hp shallow well pump, etc.) The small generator is, in my opinion, a fantastic low-cost unit that runs and runs and runs. There is only a few things to keep in mind with these small 2-cycle generators. Always start it with the choke on 100%; otherwise it might backfire and break the little plastic "starter dogs" in the pull-rope assembly. Never try to start it without the choke on. If you let it set for long periods of time; drain out the fuel and start it up to burn out any remaining fuel, or it will clog the carburetor (as any 2-cycle will do). Mine runs every day, month after month, so this isn't an issue for me.

obviously you know the controller doesn't work. Why do you wnt to replace it with one which only delivers 350 w, if you want to only use 3/4 of the power your motor has, that is fine, if you want full power (you don't have to use it all the time) buy the 500 w controller... Gunter

I've picked one up myself, based on all the favorable comments and reviews here-I like the selection of the range of speeds allowing it to run down at an idle of under 4 watts, and 90W on turbo mode. Good to hear it determines the replacement indicator based on the airflow restriction rather just on run time.

Yes, it will run your circular saw. I've used mine for circular saws, miter saws, and the like. It will run those cheap table saws (that are little more than circular saws); but not the regular full size table saws. I've run my cabin (for the most part) on these little generators, using corkscrew bulbs (9), a pair of LED flood lamps, flat screen tv & dvd player. My cordless phone would lose connection with my deep freezer (7cf) would start. When I needed to run my shallow well pump, I would have to start and run the larger (7.5 Kw) generator. Things to remember: Never start without the choke on full (it might backfire and snap the starter dogs) and it's a good habit to shut down by turning off the fuel which insures there isn't fuel left in the carburetor. I have thousands of hours on these small generators. If you google the Yamaha ET 950 generator you will see that it's the exact same unit. I believe these are from Chinese OEM for Yamaha.

Not that I know of. Getting clear output data from Powerland was difficult. I do know for sure that the "quality" of electric produced by this generator is poor and fairly unstable. Most would call it "dirty." Whether it would be suitable to a situation with an inverter motor, I don't know. I do know that it is not suitable for sensitive (and even many "regular") electronic devices/appliances because of its variability and spikes.

I have not used mine in that way, but I would think so. In addition to having enough power you might also appreciate how easily you can control the blower speed with the trigger. Seems that would be useful for the work you are describing.

Try using the low speed setting. My battery last for four cuttings each 15 minutes run time.

Yes, you can regulate the speed with power knob. I really enjoy this tool. I use it almost everyday in the shop.

Here is what I found on the web... Clean Power <7% THD. Not sure if it's @ full load or not.

I don't quite get your question. But I can guess what you want as I just put my WG450A to work. The controller for the wind generator is not included in the package. You need to purchase it separately. The controller has to be one for wind generator (it should be included in the product description). Without the controller, the wind generator is useless. After you get a controller, you would get DC current with variable voltage reading. I did not attempt to use the current to charge a 12V battery. Instead I purchased a grid tie inverter to convert the DC current to 120V AC current and put it back in the grid. I believe it works fine. By the way, the wind generator is a very good one if you are looking for a small wind power generator.
