Hi there; I know it is very cheap. However for backup service at
home or the occasional use for extended camping stays one cant really go wrong with it. I just wonder whats the noise level?
Anyone got one of those?
All
feedback as usual is very much appreciated.

not just the noise level to consider with these cheaper gennies, i borrowed one (not that brand) from a friend once to take to Fraser Island. i spent heaps of time doing running maitenance on the genny as it rattle bits apart, had screws coming loose etc.
maybe that one will be ok, but i wasn't impressed with the one i borrowed. if you do get one, then make sure you keep regular maitenance checks on it.

Hi Prado Mad,
I have bought many electrical things from Aldi over the years and while the quality is commensurate with the price I have no complaints.
At $299 for 3.7 KW you can't go wrong.
However the power may not be clean so I would not use it on sensitive equipment such as computers or complex electronics but for running lights and battery chargers and the like you can't go wrong.
I don't have personal experience with this machine but it looks like good value.
Cheers, Bruce.
