Buyer Beware
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Bought this unit based on the specifications that it was a quiet generator. I ran this with no load and it ran noisier than the Honda 2000 I rented under a half-load. Guess what !!! you buy it you keep it The unit cannot be returned to Amazon nor the manufacturer. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!

So far an excellent product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got this generator today and must say I am very pleased. It runs fairly quiet, is light weight, seems to be built durable and is exactly what I needed. On a side note, DO NOT overfill with oil, even a little. It will keep the engine from running properly and of course could cause damage but for me it was just a little too much oil which I drained quickly. At the moment I am charging a large deep cycle marine battery, a 600 watt potable power supply, a 110 volt lamp, and my entire computer system as I write this. The screen shows no flicker or pixelating as with the gentleman’s tv. Also I read a reveiw about a spark plug problem but I haven’t encounted that as yet. If you need a smaller generator that starts easily and your demands aren’t above 750 watts total then this is a nice choice.

Great Unit for the Price
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
For the price its not to bad. If you plan on running power tools go with something else. The Honda EU1000 wont even power a circular saw and that’s what, $700+! The motor is quite compared with other generators. I use mine for my ice shack. It runs all the lights, fans and TV without revving up and the tiny gas tank will run for several hours. Their is a switch on the side that slows the RPMs and quiets down the generator a bit, that’s a nice feature (I think its like Honda’s Eco switch). It is not heavy at all, east to move around. A big plus is that it is a 4 stroke and no need to mix oil and gas together. I run 5w30 and that seems to do okay in the -15f temperature. All in all, I like it.

Can’t get 500 watts out of this unit
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this generator to power a 25 amp battery charger to keep aboard my boat. The battery charger is rated at 490 watts or about 4 amps at 120V. It trips the circuit breaker as soon as I plug it in everytime. I wanted a refund, but Amazon would not help me and said I had to go to manufacturer. ETQ said they do not give refunds and that I had to go to Amazon. After several calls back and forth to each, ETQ is swapping it out for another one. In conclusion I am stuck with all the extra shipping costs and a generator that won’t power what I need. Bad experience from both Amazon and ETQ….I will look else where for another product.
