Default Aldi £59 petrol generator and television

On just buying a 800 watt 'two' stroke petrol generator from Aldi, we have
heard from someone who says that he has got one; and that his is running
very roughly, and is really noisy.

Also it says in the instructions that it is *not* suitable for connecting to
televisions or other sensitive electronic equipment.

Has anybody any experience with one of these very cheap generators ? (Only
£59 ).

Also saying they are not suitable for sensitive electronic equipment; would
that just be the manufacturers covering themselves? Would buying something
like a *surge- protector* make it possible to use the generator with a
portable television?
