I recently had my old generator nicked so was looking to replace it and came across this on eBay.

06265 Generator SK9500 Heavy Duty 4 stroke Petrol Generator 400V 230V Easy Start

At under £120 (half the price of equivalent one from U.K.) I thought it was probably not going to be up to much but have been pleasantly surprised. It arrived today, 4 days after ordering. After fueling and oiling it started first time and seemed to be reasonably constructed. It's manufactured in China for the European market and supplied from Germany.
It has 3x230v outlets, 1x 400v outlet and 1 x 12v outlet. Just one slight negative, the 230v outlets are European type so you would have to make a flylead with the plugs supplied or replace the sockets.

Too heavy for carrying over a field to vape but ok if on a vehicle.
 
I'm always keep one for topping the freezers up in the event of a prolonged power cut. Trouble is it hardly gets used any more! Heavy brute though!
