I am looking to get a small portable (and cheap) generator for an
outbuilding. The genny should be able to power some lighting and run
some simple powertools (drill charger, drill, chop saw (1200w))- running
my 900watt lawnmower would also be a bonus (not all at the same time!).


I was looking at this-

It is being sold on Ebay for circa £200 - Is it any good for the uses
that I intend?


It won't last, won't work terribly well, and will be very noisy. If there
are neighbours, you'll get complaints.

Trouble is portability, reliability and relatively quiet operation aren't
compatible - a light engine means a fast revving petrol one. The best
generators will be a slow running diesel.
