Default ETQ generators?

I saw ETQ generators on Ebay. The one seller had a buy it
now. Including delivery was $140, I think it was. Deep sigh,
and I'm out of my mind. Couple mouse clicks later, I had
bought a generator. It showed up. I put some gas in it, and
it was amazing quiet. Really surprised me. And the one time
I used it, the generator ran a guy's furnace. I didn't
measure, just poured in a pint or two of gas and oil mix,
it's a two stroke. Ran out of gas, but it was long enough to
heat his house. I'm really impressed. Worth every penny.
Mine is 1,000 watts I think. Has the old fashioned
generator, not the inverter thing.

I just went to Northern Tools to buy a pair of gloves, and
they have
their ETQ IN1800i generator on sale for $200. That's the
one with
an inverter. Does anybody here have one? How crappy is it?
:-)

I know it's not a Honda. I have a bigger Yamaha generator
already,
but the ETQ is smaller and lighter, and it has a switch to
disable
the smart throttle (if I want to power my table saw with the
Yamaha
I have to plug in a waffle iron along with it to get it off
idle,
otherwise it can't rev up fast enough to handle the starting
current)

I'm really tempted at that price to go back and get it.
Northern
offers a 3 year extended warranty for $20, and I have a $20
off
coupon...
