 Excellent generator October 24, 2007

I am a Power Quality Technician for the local power company and I have much experience with electric power. This is one fine generator. I was worried the voltage would be all over the place. I placed a 2400 watt load using a Mega Beast on this and it varied by 1 volt! Nominal 120 volts. I was very happy. This will work in an emergency to keep the heat on and the beer cold as long the total watts is not exceeded. Recommended!
Good value with some reservations November 11, 2007

Received this generator in good condition 3 days after ordering! Some assembly required, which created my first concern- the nuts & bolts supplied had very poor threads- I had to screw them together with two wrenches to loosen them up enough to use. Not a good first impression. On my unit, the 240v outlet is installed at an angle with only part of it coming through the mounting hole. Either the outlet was a little too big or the hole in the mounting plate too small, but the fact that they shipped it without correcting this is troubling. The practical result is the insulating cover that should protect the back of the 240v and the 2 120v outlets does not fit properly and bare terminals are exposed behind the panel. Finally, on my unit, starting was hard initially. Upon inspection, I found the plug wire was loose. Snapped it on and it started easily.
This unit is fairly loud, but I started my 6.5 hp Craftsman lawnmower next to it for comparison and the mower was noticeably louder. I do recommend getting a funnel with a flexible neck for filling with oil.
It seems capable as rated; I connected a 1500 watt heater to the right hand 120v outlet and the voltage dropped only 1 volt. On the left, however, it sustained the load, but the voltage dropped to 114v. From studying the schematic, it appears on this generator that the load is voltage compensated on the right outlet only, which is connected to one of the two field coils on the alternator. The left outlet is not regulated, so you want to try and balance your load between the two outlets as much as possible, and connect any sensitive devices to the righthand one.
All in all, I'm satisfied with this generator for my purpose, which is emergency power for my refrigerator, gas fireplace fan and some lights.

I bought this generator for my parents, to keep their fridge and freezer going and allow them run small appliances during a power outage. This unit seems perfect. I like that wheels and a fold away handle are included, and the unit starts easily and is fairly quiet. The only negative comments I have are that the pull start handle is blocked by the front panel, making it necessary to pull the rope partway out and then pull it at about a 30 degree angle to the motor to start it. This isn't a big problem, but over time it might cause the rope to wear faster than if you could pull it straight out. As other other reviewers pointed out, the oil reservoir is nearly impossible to fill without a long, very narrow funnel, but since you may only do this once every few years, again, no big deal.
Good value generator September 28, 2007

The generator seems to be a good value although there might be some reliability issues down the road. The generator started up without too much effort and ran steadily. The engine seems to be solid although the fuel shutoff valve on my generator doesn't work properly-the engine with the valve in the off position continued to run. The front control panel is made of very thin sheet metal and had already been damaged in shipping. The electrical plug outlets are attached directly to the thin metal and could over time come loose. There are lots of loose wires hanging in vulnerable areas and might be easily damaged. To fill the engine with oil is nearly impossible without using a very thin long funnel and without a low oil warning indicator checking the level manually could be a hassle. I guess as long as the unit is stored indoors and is treated with care it looks like a really good value overall and I would recommend it.
Great Generator at a Great Price November 1, 2007

Eastern Tools and Equipment 3250-Watt Portable Generator #TG4000E Generator received one day earlier than expected; no damage. Great buy for the price at the $250 price with no shipping costs! Starts easily. Another review indicated faceplate was flimsy and would not hold up. Output receptacles, load protectors, and on/off switch are mounted to frame--therefore sturdy. Faceplate is decorative with descriptions. Exposed wires are as expected; similar to a car engine; should NOT be a problem as they are routed properly. Fuel shut-off valve works fine; generator will continue to run for a while because of residual fuel in the carburetor. Correct shut-down is turning On/Off switch to "Off". Have no clue if robust for commercial applications, but this generator appears great for residential use. Long term use is unknown at this time. So far I am delighted. I looked for several years and finally plunged with this deal.
