Tools and Hardware Reviews of ETQ TG1200 1,200 Watt 2 HP 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator
Customer Review: You just cant' beat this little guy......
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought one of these and, for what it is, it is fantastic!! The one downside is that it uses a 2-stroke engine. Of course, the one upside is that it uses a 2-stroke engine. When you're done with it, run it out of gas. When you get ready to use it again, put in a fresh gas/oil mixture and it starts right up. No oil to change, go gas to go bad and it's quiet.
I purchased mine at Checker Auto Parts for $99.00!! That's as cheap or cheaper than a similar DC-AC converter and you don't have to hook it up to a battery to use it. The 12V charging option (with the included cord) is great for camping. I highly recommend this little gem.
Customer Review: Just as Described
Summary: 5 Stars
I read many of the reviews and decided this would be my best option. It arrived today and worked exactly as described, straight out of the box. I lifted it out of the box, installed the top handle by inserting 2 screws that were provided, opened the gas line butterfly valve, poured some 2 cycle gas mix in and pulled the handle twice. It started right up, and within seconds was running smoothly. The sound level is about what you would expect from a 2 cycle weed eater idling. No problems. I have run it for about an hour without issues under a load. This generator appears to be solidly built - mostly metal.Customer Review: Life saver

Eastern Tools & Equipment TG1200 1,200 Watt 2 HP 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator (Non-CARB Compliant)R
Received this generator the day before Hurricane Ike came through. It started on the 1st pull, and after connecting each appliance in sequence, about 5 minutes apart, was able to run the TV, refrigerator, and freezer with no problems
Even running all appliances at same time, only used about a gallon of gas per 6 hour period.
Well worth the price.
Customer Review: Hurricane Gustav Tested and Approved
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lil' guy for LSU Tiger tailgating but unfortunately Hurricane Gustav has postponed any "game" action thus far. I caught grief in preperation from family as they all purchased larger generators prior to the storm. 11:OO AM Monday 9/1/08 we lose power....it's show time. Second crank and for the next 55 hours the TG1200 pretty much ran non-stop. It easily powered two fans, several lights, TV and satellite. Periodically I unplugged the fans and powered up the refrigerator. I only used about 7.5 gallons of gas too! Best $119.00 I ever spent!!!Customer Review: An inexpensive backup for your backup
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got a larger generator, but also keep this little gem on hand as a last resort in case the bigger unit fails . . . a second backup if you will. It's enough to run a refrigerator/freezer or a sump pump, and also keep a couple lamps and a small TV or radio on.
This little generator is exceedingly light and compact, and would be very convenient to put in the trunk and take along. Runs super quiet and, being 2 stroke, there are no periodic oil changes to worry about. Easy to pull start. At this price, you should have one around.
