1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware this is a ripoff, July 15, 2005

By	William L. Keating "bill" (texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered it, Amazon took my money, Northern Tools sent it, and it does not run.
Northeren tools has a no return policy on generators. They send out a generator that can not run (no spark) and refuse to refund the money or allow you to return the product or exchange it. The phone numbers listed in the operators manual for the manafacturer are disconnected. Amazon does not state this all sales are final in their adds so they contribute to the rip off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will not power too many appliances but enough to avoid damage., September 1, 2007

This review is from: ETQ TG1200 1,200 Watt 2 HP 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator (Lawn & Patio)

We bought this after severe thunderstorms put us without power for nearly a week.
This unit will drive 1 sum pump, maybe 2, but that is really it. This is all we need it for and therefore we think it is worth the price.
If you need to drive a freezer/fridge and sump pumps you will need a 3250 watt unit. If you want to hook your airco in as well starts looking at a 5000 watt unit.
This one, again, helps save us from waterdamage and is GREAT to have on camping trips. It is quiet and relatively fuel efficient if you give it little tasks.
The unit is the size of a small ice cooler and weighs a bit more. We have used it several times and it is steady and reliable like a diesel train: it does not switch off and starts easily.
Good little helper in case of power outages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected..., June 27, 2008

This review is from: ETQ TG1200 1,200 Watt 2 HP 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator (Lawn & Patio)

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)
