 All of the generator's outlets are circuit-breaker protected to safeguard your electronics. View larger. |
The TG72K12 features a powerful, 14-horsepower, 420-cc, four-stroke, gas-powered OHV engine that is capable of producing 7,250 continuous watts and 8,250 maximum watts. Its easy-pull recoil and electric-start make for reliable startups every time.
The engine isn't just powerful, it's also quiet. Thanks to its oversized muffler, the TG72K12 portable generator produces sound at just 70 decibels during operation.
And with a 6.42-gallon fuel tank and efficient power delivery, the engine is capable of running a 50-percent load for up to 10-1/2 hours or a 100-percent load for 6 hours and 36 minutes.
The engine also features auto throttle control technology, which automatically speeds up the engine when power is needed. This helps increase the longevity of the engine and also increases fuel efficiency.
Alternator Technology Safely Delivers Electricity to Your Appliances
One of the most innovative features of the TG72K12 is its ETQ Clean Sine Alternator Technology that ensures low total harmonic distortion (THD). THD is a measure of the quality of the electricity produced by a generator, and THD above six percent can damage electronics and other components over time. With THD of less than five percent, the TG72K12 ensures high-quality, safe delivery of electricity from the generator to your electrical components.
With low THD, this generator is computer-friendly, meaning it's completely safe to use with laptops, printers, desktop computers, and more. The TG72K12 will give you peace of mind knowing that your computer hardware is completely safe from power surges and bad-quality electricity.
Up to 8,250 Watts Power Most of Your Household Items
The TG72K12 produces up to 8,250 watts of power to run most of your electrically powered household items. You can use the 120-volt, 20-amp GFCI-protected outlets to simultaneously power lamps, TVs, computers, fans, or other low-wattage appliances. Or you can power 240-volt appliances, such as your water heater, using the convenient 240-volt twist-lock outlet. Additionally, there's an included 120-volt, 30-amp RV connection for added versatility.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction That's Built for Portability
Everything--from the engine's heavy-duty cast-iron sleeves to the durable one-inch rolled steel tubing surround--is built to last. And with semi-pneumatic foam wheels and a fold-down handle, the generator is easy to move and store. The generator weights 207 pounds and measures just 32.87 x 22.24 x 23.82 inches (LxWxH).
Outlets Feature Circuit-Breaker Protection
The generator offers several ways to connect your appliances or electrical equipment. There are two 120-volt outlets available for most of your everyday, low-wattage appliances, such as fans, TVs, computers, microwaves, and toasters. There's also a convenient, 240-volt twist-lock outlet for running single, higher-wattage appliances and electrical equipment, such as water heaters or central air conditioners. Finally, there's a 120-volt, 30-amp RV connection for even more usage options.
All of the outlets on the TG72K12 Portable Generator are circuit-breaker protected to eliminate the risk of power-surge damage, which can potentially ruin your appliances and electrical equipment.
The ETQ TG72K12 Portable Generator is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
The following battery types are compatible with this generator: Champion 94b1, JBS 12N9-4B-1, Motocross M2290B, Napa 740-1869, and Powersonic CB9-B.

Customer Reviews
I noticed that in another review on this unit that there was a complaint on the location of the pull cord. I took a note from reviews of the smaller unit and drilled a hole in the frame located directly in line with the pull cord and fed the cord through there and placed a grommet in the hole. Works superb, best $.50 I ever spent. My cord is now located right below the on/off switch. I highly recommend this small enhancement because as the previous reviewer said it is in an awkward place.
Pros
* Price$$$$ + NO TAX
* Shipping - FREE!!!
* 8250 Watts surge, 7250 continuous
* Could not find a better price when I combined the 3 criteria above
* Fuel Gauge on the unit
* Low oil shutoff
* Hour meter
* Wheel Kit included
Cons
* My engine is stamped as a 13HP opposed to 14HP listed by Amazon
* Unit is loud, but Amazon does state this (85db)
* Battery not include (I'll do without, one less item to maintain)
The generator does not come with a battery for the electric starter. The manufacturer's representative stated that it required an Everstart ES12N94B1 battery, which I found at Wal-mart. After adding oil and a little gas the generator started right up with only three easy pulls (I had not installed the battery at that point). The generator started so easy, in fact, that I am considering taking the battery back and not using the electric starter. This generator appears to be of good quality and at this point I am completely satisfied with the product.
