Tools and Hardware Reviews of ETQ TG1200 1,200 Watt 2 HP 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator
Customer Review: Great small back-up Generator
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again a smooth purchase from Amazon. Generator was received on time in good shape. Easy to understand manual. Tested the Generator twice for about 1/2 hour each time using a 100 watt bulb. Everything appears to be working as it should. Very bearable operating noise level. This is a small generator rated at 1200 watts-don't expect it to power all your home needs during service outages. My plan is to use the generator to power my pellet stove (draws less than a 100 watt bulb)and at times my refridgerator (energy star rated that also doesn't draw much)and a couple of low wattage lamps strategically placed through the house during winter outages.
This Generator is powered by a two-cycle engine that requires 50:1 gas oil mix.
Customer Review: Great Generator for the money

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.
Customer Review: Just enough for me

I bought this on sale from Amazon for $109 delivered and it arrived the day before one of our frequent winter power outages. It requires very little room, set up was easy, I can move it without help, and it usually starts without having to "manhandle" it. It will power my computer and satelite receiver (on very good surge protectors) and a light - all I need when the power is out. If necessary, I can run either the freezer or the fridge on it to get them cold again, but I'm prepared with gallon jugs of ice to keep them cold for a day or two (without opening them much). The Amazon power requirement chart was handy for me to make my decision. It's good to be prepared and self-reliant out here in the boonies.Customer Review: Great for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this on a recomendation from a friend and also from reading many reviews. I do a lot of camping,mud bogs and off road events. This generator will power lights, a coffee maker, ( at one time only, or any combo up to 1200 watts ),small electric heater. and such. It lasts aprox 10 hours on a tank of fuel. Low noise ( behind a pop up can't even hear it ). I have a small driver camper and it has a 3000 w Onan. This little generator is mounted on the rear bumper and works great. I have it running the fridge and AC (fan only) going down the road. 1 gallon for ten hour versus pulling the Onan from the fuel tank. Its really a good little generator. You won't be dissapointed. DanCustomer Review: great little machine

Bought this generator 2 years ago to use for camping. I am a 50 year old female and maintain my own camping trailer. There is no electric where I camp (private property) along with other family members. This great little 'baby' starts for me every time, within 2 pulls. Never had a problem with it. It runs my lights, fridge, tv, water pump, charges my battery, etc without a problem. Its easy for me to lift and move to where I need it. Its also very quiet compared to other generators at this size. I would, and have, recommended this generator to others! (2 family members have bought one based on how well mine works and there are 2 more ready to buy one this summer)
