I was in a Tractor Supply Store recently. Pretty good outfit, bright, clean. I bought different things from them and am satisfied with all of it. Now I see a 1000/ 1000 watt generator for sale, on sale, price $199.00. And it looks really good, weighs 60 some pounds. It looks like the real deal. (A 1000 watt Honda sells for $900.)

My question is, can this champion brand be any good and this unit sell new for 199$ bucks? This looks like their smallest one. It would be a great camping item if it would hold up. This is either a deal or an miserable experience waiting to happen.
