Another thing that needs to be considered is your electrical cord size.

I killed a similar cheap generator a few years back by pulling full load on a 50 ft 16/3 cord. The line losses pushed the generator over capacity and blew something up inside.
Cost as much to fix as to replace.

If your going to be pulling 3/4 capacity make sure you have a 14 or better yet a 12 gauge cord.
