Anyone any experience of these? 3 year warranty apparently.

probably not true "bushcrafting" gear, but always useful!

No, but I know if I drove to Aldi they wouldn't have one by the time I got there. At the price its got to be worth a punt.

It's a 2-stroke engine though. I wonder how loud that'd be?

Still an attractive price though.

Bet it would run lovely on a drop of Spetsnaz Andy

Hmmmm that's gone up by £9 since I bought mine 2 years ago. Still a good deal though. There's another thread extolling the virtues of this machine elsewhere here at BCUK.

You missed out - I brought some very nice Beijing (no idea what it was - don't read Chinese) liquor to North Woods earlier in week. 57% proof, and even Martin wouldn't drink it after one sip........................

Bottle was pretty though..

I have a similar generator, it's ok for running a tv and a couple of lights in a power cut, but wont boil an electric kettle or run an electric drill.

Got one in Camberley Aldis - they had a stack of them.

Will let you know how it goes as soon as I can get some Aspen 2 and 2-stroke oil!

Edit - cancel the 2-stroke oil - it comes already mixed into the Aspen 2T.........Pricy, but can be left in the tank indefinitely and won't gum up (and having had to scrap a 2-stroke outboard in the past because everything gummed up horribly, I'm a bit sensitive about that....)

A lot of their stuff, if you read the warrenty, says 'incase of problem, send back to manufacturers'.... Wolf, no less!!!!
