Tools and Hardware Reviews of ETQ TG32P12 4,000 Watt 7 HP 207cc 4-Cycle OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator
Customer Review: Good value generator
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Excellent Generator for a great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little nervous buying an item such as this for such a good price, but I am very satisfied with it. Some reviewers had problems with shipping damage which also made me hesitate, but the generator arrived via FedEx with only minimal damage to the box. The generator was free of any damage inside. Wheels and handle were easy to assemble...just be careful you find each nut and bolt in the packaging material. There was a hole in the parts bag and I found one of the nuts in the bottom of the box. Engine started on the second pull and wow does it run quiet and smooth! It's definitely not some cheap, whining sounding piece of junk like some campers may use. Also, the pull rope is not so difficult to get to like some reviewers say. I've definitely seen worse...this one was easy enough to pull. I really recommend this generator because of the quality you get for the very small price tag.Customer Review: Generator
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the generator in the time predicted by amazon. It was packaged well by the manufacturer with foam protection on the top and the box was banded. The frame shocks were protected from damage with bracket mounted to the chassis. Like other reviews I read it started with 2 pulls of the rope after adding gas out of the box. Since it has started first pull everytime. I use it at my deer lease to run lights and other assessories.
I have yet to fill the tank and I ran it for 6 hours two consecitive night with a gallon and half gas in the tank. The noise level for this size generator is low. My 2000w generator had about the same noise level.
I have powered up both of my compressors with it. One is a 25-gallon with a 3.5 hp motor, no problem. The other an 8 gal 1.5 hp motor. I am very happy with this generator and would rocommend it to a friend.
Customer Review: Perfect for camping.
Summary: 4 Stars
We recently took this generator on a camping trip.There were two campers to hook to the generator and run.There were two small 5000 btu AC units,but the generator performed well.The only time it struggled was when the AC units compressors started at the same time.Only then did it die and have to be re-cranked,and then start only on unit at a time.The gas held up OK as far as a generator goes.I did notice that while the generator was not in use it had oily substance seeping from the gas cap as the days heat caused pressure to build up in the tank.As far as putting the oil on day one ,all i did was tilt the generator to a 45 degree angle and block it from tipping over and filled,replaced the oil cal and set it back on the ground.The main reason i purchased the generator was for the home,but was certain it would preform well at the camp.Customer Review: very unpleased

I purchased this product 12/09 for mu husband to go hunting. It arrived with in a week. He put it together & filled it with gas it starting leaking where the hose attaches to the gas tank. Upon further inspection he notice that it was not welded correctly to the gas tank. Also, the cover to the filter was busted up. We took it back to the location where we bought it & reordered a replacement. That one showed up with in a week also. When he started putting that one together he noticed that the air filter cover was busted up, again. We thought no big deal we will get another cover. He put gas into the tank and pull after pull he could not get it to start. We were very disapointed with this product! We took the replacement back to the store and bought a better quality generator, a champion - it's great.
