Most computer power supplies are at least 300 watts, many are 400 or better.

Hi Victor, Not sure what you wanted to use it for but 800W is pretty small. I am not sure if that would even run a refrigerator. You could run a few lights. I keep thinking about getting one but would not consider anything under 3kw. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victor" <[email protected]> To: "Blind Handyman Listserv" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 9:35 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Opinions on a product Hi Folks, My wife and I are thinking of buying a particular generator that's currently on sale at our local Canadian Tire, a sort of poor man's big box store. LOL. In any case, they've got a portable generator for sale for 99 dollars, almost half price it's original price, and I want to know what you all think of the specs. I've pasted them below, as well as the link to the webpage the generator can be found at, in case some of you have sight and want to have a look at it. First the specs: (Oh, and don't worry about being brutally honest, I'd rather know the truth earlier, rather than later after I've shelled out the 100 bucks it's going to take to own this puppy. Smile) Brand Name - GENmate Horsepower - 2HP Running Power - 800W Peak Power - 950W Engine Type - 2-stroke Tank Capacity - 1.1 gallon Ports - 1x120V AC & 1x12V DC Protection - Electrical: overload protection Half Load Run Time - 7 hours Wheels - No Dimensions - 15.6"x14.5"x13.6" Product Weight - 41.9lbs (19kg) Special Features - Fully enclosed model reduces noise And here's the link to the page where you can have a look at it. http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp;jsessionid=Kp3Flvnz8hg0MrvzYTjVGdYC7v5gHBSmcVT1hzv2NWJZW2ZWjwSP!-556680290?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443305444&bmUID=1248442149589 Thanks all.
