Has anyone used this generator?


Didn't choose it, didn't buy it, avoid using the thing, but yes, I've
got one.

What are your opinions?


It's better than not having one. OTOH, I can pick up far better Honda
4 strokes S/H from farm auctions for a pittance, and they're bigger,
quieter, dead easy to service (buy a whole new GX120 at the next farm
auction!) and I suspect use less fuel too.

How clean is the output:


Same as nearly all motor gensets, it's pretty clean. Depends a bit on
the exciter (I believe there's some modern funniness), but they're all
"clean" in comparison to battery inverter output. For one thing, all
that ironmongery is a decent enough HF noise filter.
