That thing is 22 inches long and 11 1/2 inches wide. That guy in the
picture must have really big hands. The only other place I found it
was Amazon.com for $799.

oh man, how embarrassing, no, i didn't look at the specs at all, jeez.
jeez. i mean, i'm sure if i was going to buy it i woulda checked it out
more closely, i sure hope so. it really looked like the guy had his hand on
the pull starter cord, (right next to the machine) ugh. oh, i see, he's
pushing a button on the remote. oy. oh my god i have to slink away and not
show my face here again. of course it's that big (22" x 11 1/2") or the
outlets would be miniscule. <cringe> again! another emily litella moment.
b.w.

Hey don't worry. The Burning Man and nekkid wimmin is a great idea.
Just have to revise the generator plan a little. Here's what you
need:

350 watt inverter generator that weighs under 12 lbs. A cute l'il
hummer. Harbor Freight used to sell this little jewel but no more. I
bet somebody does, though. I carry this unit around on my hotrod
electric scooter as a range extender.

At first I thought that the guy was pulling the starter cord which
made the generator look small (or his hands large). Then I realized
that he was simply pushing the remote start dongle. His hand is near
the camera while the generator is somewhat far away.
Still a nifty looking generator but at 76 lbs I don't think I'd b
backpacking it :-)

Something's funny... the unit, as you said, looks teensy
next to the hand holding it. Yet.... when you look at
the actual specs it's a much more imposing 76 pounds, and
measures 22 inch length, 11.5 width, and 20 inch height.
