 Great Generator for the money October 20, 2005

I bought this generator to use on my boat. I paid $176 at Pep Boys and couldn't be more pleased. I plugged it directly in my boat AC input and ran all my AC appliances with no trouble. A boat generator is $7000. What a steal!
When you start it, be sure the ON/OFF switch is ON and the fuel shut off is ON. Choke it all the way and when it starts, move the choke to off. Not a big deal once you have the procedure down. If you are having trouble than you are doing something wrong. It is noiser than the more expensive units but that doesn't bother me since I use it outdoors.
You can always pay $700 more for a quieter unit but to me its not worth the extra money. I also didn't find it greasy or smelly.
Much better than expected... June 27, 2008

I was worried to buy this generator after I was reading all the other evaluations... for nothing. It turned out to be a great buy!
Super fast shipping from Amazon - in less than 48 hours in front of my door with super saver shipping (free).
No problem about transport damage - the generator was packed in a heavy and strong box, sitting in a item shaped styrophom casing - safe....
Unpacked, manual consulted, gas and oil filled (super easy), and cranked.
Started at the first stroke! Run for a few seconds rough, then right away very smooth.
I was primarily surprised about the low noise level. It has a low dump sounding and smooth running noise, even on my closed in balcony. I hardly could hear the noise when I just closed the balcony door. Incredible!
The worksmenship looks trustworthy and I believe the generator will hold up - just listening to the smooth engine sound to realize that this engine will hold up some milage.
The fill in lid comes with measuring cap to get the right amount of oil to the gasoline and everything looks like well thought out and easy to handle. Easy for anyone, technical touched or with to left hands super easy and simple.
The instructions are clear and fast understandable - it took about five minutes to get to the start up.
Again, amazing is the low noise level. The mufler does its job, and the strong rubber feet take 100% care of any vibration.
I obviously can not tell if this generator lives for many years in service of construction sites - I live in a hurricane area and need the back up in case we are again for a long period out of electricity (two years ago for two weeks). I am confident that this generator will do a superior job for that purpose. He produces enough power to run a regular fritch to keep things from spoiling, runs a large TV, and charges my computer system, besides providing light. It appears that the frequenz modulation is alright too because I had no problems with electronic equipment.
It also has a 12 Volt hook up and even clamps for battery charging are supplied. Nevertheless, there is only one single receptacle - means you will need a multiple T to hook up more lines. I would also certainly recommend to use a multiple plug in like you use for electronic or computer equipment to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations - just in case...
Simple to use - good quality - dependable - highly recommendable!
(I am writing all this, because I was lost reading all the other evaluations and like to help making the right decissions)
Strong output and well built...Super value... January 12, 2008

I was a little skeptical for the price but I've used units costing more than twice as much which weren't built as good and didn't perform any better...
The ONLY minor complaint I have is that it idles a little rough being a 2 cycle...But upon loading it smooths right out...At idle it produces 122 volts and when I pulled a full tested 10 amps or 1200 watts equivalent for 5 minutes it still held a firm 115 volts...It also has a dedicated 8.2amp 12 volt charging plug in with the necessary cables...Many units costing more don't even have this...
For the price and with metal prices surging I expected the generator itself to be aluminum wound but it was copper which is much better...The gas tank is metal and the entire unit is very well built...
The manual is VERY thorough with included schematics and part numbers for the generator and 2 cycle engine...
I also like the 41 lb. weight for those times when a larger heavier unit would be a pain...Overall for $119 I consider this unit an extraordinary value...
ETQ 1200-- Small, Quiet & Economical November 3, 2007

After checking the e-auctions, local shops, etc., looking for a small generator for remote tool power, the Amazon offer of free shipping for the same wattage generator sold me. This little generator is only 1200 watts/max 15 amps, but it does what it is designed for-- low load remote or emergency use. Warrantee wise, it has a 1 yr. certification and in CA a 2 yr. exhaust warranty-- not bad for $100. As with most mechanical items, it pays to read and re-read the instructions before gassing up this power box. I had to clean the air filter (Hey, new machines have clean air filters, right? Not always.) after starting the engine and having it die out regardless of choke settings. (This remedy is noted in the well documented instruction book) Once that was taken care of, it was off to the races. This thing starts on at least the second pull every time, is relatively quiet, and uses very little gas. The downside of mixing oil with the gas is made easier with the measuring cup built into the gas cap-- one cap of oil to one gallon of gas and you're done. All in all, for the money/features/free shipping it is hard to beat this deal.
