Now that I've thought about it, this may not be the actual price. I see a lot of big-ticket items that are listed with an unrealistically low price. You will need to investigate further.

If you're OK with China copycats there is this Briggs & Stratton called Promax, try calling this shop - Trioidad Trading, #1643-A Soler St., Sta Cruz, Manila TL# 5310-0401 look for Boyet 09564926715. Everything else China i guess is disposable, goodluck finding spare parts.

Honestly IMO if requirement is just for emergency backup then i'd get the cheapest brand new, you just have to maintain the jets of the carb make sure it doesn't clog when not in use.
Yeah, it's for emergencies only. With our utility power pretty stable as of late, there's not much demand for them so the prices are relatively low now. Best time buy one.

I am actually looking at the off-branded ones, Chinese or otherwise. Oshima, Blackstone, Anmax, Powerhouse, etc. With the kids' online classes and I'm still WFH, this could come in handy when needed.
