Good day all
Just a quick one.
I called into Bunnings last night and staring me in the face as I walk is a mountain of GMC Gen Sets marked at $98.00 YES! $98.00 ea.
Sh$t! I think to myself, I recently bought one of these from the same place, same spot, same mountain for $198.00. (Have I been dudded again???)
Took me a little while to wake up that these ones on offer now are marked/rated as 750W whereas the one I purchased 4 months ago was marked/rated as 850W.
Whatever, I do believe that for $98.00 & 2yrs warranty, you just can't go wrong.
Plus if anything does go wrong , you just take it back and select another from the pile without question.
I've done this twice now with power appliances from Bunnings and just luv dealing with them.
Anyway, to each his own, if this suits any of you, go and relieve yourself of a 'green' one and walk out with a nice new gen set.
Regards
Ken Robinson

Ken, thanks for the drum on that one - you're a champ. Just got back from Bunnings Melville and cranked the little bugger up. Couldn't be happier.
Angle grinder, hammer drill, 500W work lamp no worries at all and charges 12V batteries too. 30% cheaper than a spare N70Z and not much bigger. I'll be making a bracket for one to mount under the tray of the 75 on the weekend.
Has a 2 year warranty but at $98 it is a disposable item anyway. Lady from the tool section said they hadn't had any returns yet, but still early days I guess. Who cares, I blew nearly twice that on grog, food and taxi's last Friday and felt crook for the next two days.
Here's something to ponder, how can a set of 4 tyre deflators or a foam air filter realistically cost nearly the same amount?
