Eastern Tools & Equipment IN800I 800-Watt 4-Cycle OHV Gas-Powered Portable Digital Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant) Customer Review: Works great if you can get it to work
I am a photographer who bought this generator to power a couple of computers and maybe a printer. It works great for that but you kind of have to trick it into working, meaning you have to be very specific in the way that you plug things into it or else the overload light comes on. It seems to be very sensitive to which extension cord you use, 15ft seems to be the limit. Also, if you use a power strip don’t even think about using the switch on it as it will trip the overload every time. The overload situation wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t have to stop the generator each time to reset it.
After about 20 restarts I figured out you pretty much have to go in order from largest load (My 17″ DELL XPS) to the lightest load which was a cheapo Lexmark printer. Any variation caused issues. On the plus side you do feel like you have accomplished something when you get everything up and running. My peak load was 4.7AMPS and it handled it fine, this included a 17″ Dell XPS (often running at full load processing pictures), a toshiba 15″ Laptop an LG 19″ monitor, netgear wireless N router and a cheapo lexmark inkjet.
I have used this generator for 1 event and I am thinking real hard about returning it, there are just too many bugs with it. I wasn’t expecting the world with this generator, I was expecting something that would be for the most part hassle free with my small electrical load. What I got was something that is great when it works but frustrating to no end when it doest.
Customer Review: Not bad for the price
For the price it is ok,I was thinking 800 watts would do more than it can,so you are limited to what you can plug into this thing.
The oil is tricky,the manual is unclear.
Put in gas & put oil in the oil reservoir.
IT IS A GAS ENGINE (not a 2 cycle like some think)
3 or 4 pulls and it started up.
Ran smooth and sorta quite.
If you try to plug in a high watt or high amp tool (chainsaw)
The overload light will light will come on,shut it off,wait 1 min,restart it and plug in a lamp or low amp item..then it will work fine.
Samsung’s slick new flash player is well-designed, tiny, and easy to use. This DAP is reminiscent of the first generation iPod shuffle with its USB connection, but the U3 has an OLED display and packs in an FM radio.

Samsung’s Newest PMP is Slim, Sexy and Sports
Entering Samsung’s line of portable media players at the top, the P2 does everything well. We loved the 3-inch widescreen, we loved the way it handled user-generated content and loved that we had so many options for both the media we put on the device and the way we decided to actually transfer the media to the device. We would have liked to see Samsung launch the device with the Bluetooth calling feature, the menus weren’t as easy to navigate as we would have liked, and they still haven’t nailed the touch screen technology.
