Great little machine,
March 7, 2007
By QrcInc
from Abaco, Bahamas
"I brought this generator to the Bahamas, where electric power is unreliable, and unavailable in some locations. I'm building a shed in the woods where it is unavailable. This relatively low power (1200 W MAX) generator has been able to run all my power tools and cordless rechargers, very quietly and efficiently. It also is capable of running my small portable refrigerator, television, stereo, and just about anything else I need. I have a 350 W Honda that I bought several years ago, that cost me much more. I don't know where else you could get this much value for your money. I have two of them for myself, and have bought two more for friends. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

Initial Impressions,
November 25, 2009
By Anonymous
from Chicago
"I now have 2 of these, having been very pleased with the first one. I haven't put a lot of hours on mine, but here are some tips:
1) If you read the owners manual it tells you to use 10w30 oil. This is obviously not correct, as this is a 2-cycle engine and needs 2-cycle oil. This may account for some reviewers saying they need to pour gas directly into the spark plug opening to get it to start?
2) Mine doesn't have the DC plug, and Eastern Tools says that the feature has been eliminated from the new units
3) I measured the noise level and it was 58 dbA @ 23' and 67dbA at 7'
4) The sound it makes is kind of a lower frequency sound that isn't overly objectionable. Definitely not as quiet as an idling HONDA, but also a lot less $$$
5) I'm going to use a 50' 12/3 extension cord with a a three outlet tap, so I shouldn't have any power loss problems with that.
6) The only way I can see to secure this to something like a tree is by using a security cable on the handle. Not really secure, but will make it a little harder to run off with."

good when it works,
November 2, 2009
By MountainK
from Richmond, VA
"This is my second one of these generators and I'm afraid that I'll need to return it for a third. When it works, it does a great job. But starting it can be a real pain. If you are lucky, it will take a few primer pulls and then kick over and start. Sometimes you have to pull it numerous times before it show any sign of kicking on. And there are other times when no matter what you do, it just won't start. This range of possibilities makes the generator unreliable if you are depending on it. Too bad because it's a great little generator when it wants to run and a major pain when it doesn't."

ETQ Generator,
October 26, 2009
By Outlander
from Rochester New York
"We have owned and used an ETQ for 3 camping seasons. We also purchased one as a gift for our Son.These generators worked great right out of the box. Last year I used the generator at a friends cabin in the Adirondack Mountatns at a temperature of 2 below zero. It started on the third pull and ran heat tape to unfreeze the camp's water line. It is used to charge our camper's battery and run the toaster. This little generator is a GREAT value."

1000w ETI generator,
October 21, 2009
By CousinWill
from Southbury, CT
"This is a good generator for what it is, a small generator. I've used it several times at the race track without any problems. A little hard to start sometimes if it has been sitting for a long time. Once running it is fine and restarts fine. Not noisy at all. I checked the voltage and it runs consistently at 119-120v, no big swings in voltage."
