ETQ gen set August 30, 2010

This product performs as advertised. for the cost it exceeded my expectations. It is louder than the honda and yamaha units but not unbearable. Starts on the first or second pull, and runs fine. I let it run for 3 hours under load to test and it ate a little oil and shook a copuple screws loose. I am pleased with this purchase
 You will not find better for $527+free shipping! August 19, 2010

I will not repeat the other reviews. I received the generator today and put the wheels and handle on, easy! Then I filled the oil and gas and it started on the second pull, sweet! Pluged a drill in the 110/120 outlet with no probems and checked the other two outlets with multimeter, all's great. Next I'll order a transfer switch for $259 here on amazon, all inclusive, cord, plug, box and breakers. So for $787 good luck doing it cheaper.
 Solidly built; could be quieter; not tested well enough August 14, 2010

I recently purchased the TG52T42 online at [...]. I felt the price was good for the size of the generator. I haven't had a chance to put it to the test yet, but here's my feedback so far.
I did a site-to-store purchase which means the generator was delivered to my local Walmart for free, so I saved on shipping costs. When I went to Walmart to pick it up I could see it in the back room from where I stood. It was resting on a shelf on its side, which seemed like bad practice to me. When the generator was brought out I could see the box was in bad shape. It had tears all over it, and it was missing one of the plastic straps that help keep the box together. I accepted the generator as is because most of the damage seemed superficial.
I easily assembled the generator wheels and handle which make it a cinch to move around. The generator appeared clean and well built. I filled it with oil and put just enough gasoline in it to test it for a short while. It didn't start on the first pull. In fact, it always takes 3 strong pulls to start. Once I got it started the engine started "hunting" which means it wasn't idling smooth -- it would surge between low and high rpms. This calmed down after a few minutes of running, but then started up again. Once I added more gasoline the hunting problem seemed to go away for good -- so maybe I simply didn't put enough gasoline in the first time around and the engine was starving for fuel.
The spec on the Walmart web site says engine noise is 70db, the spec on the ETQ web site says 80db, and the spec in the TG52T42 operator's manual says 70db. I phoned ETQ directly and they said it was 70db. So, my assumption was that the noise level was actually 70db and that there was an error on the ETQ web site. The noise level was important to me because prior to this generator I had a Coleman Powermate with a Tecumseh engine which was noisier than world war 3. I heard the Coleman was rated at 83db, so I was looking forward to using a much quieter ETQ at 70db. But it wasn't as quiet as I had hoped. After all, it's still a generator. That said, at least it won't blast my neighbors like the Coleman.
I tested all the 120V outlets. This is important because if the outlets are not wired properly it can cause injury or damage electrical equipment. I used both a voltmeter and a 3-pronged outlet tester. The voltage was fine on all outlets - a steady 120V. However, the neutral and hot lines on the L5-30R outlet were reversed. The contact on the receptacle immediately clockwise of the grounded contact should be neutral, but instead it was hot. Some will say the characteristics of AC power make this a non-issue, but don't listen to them. Neutral is neutral and hot is hot for a reason. Test all your outlets before you using them -- don't risk injury or equipment damage.
Besides the generator, I had to buy oil, a 5 gallon portable plastic gas tank, and a stubby extension cord that converts the 120V twist lock outlet to standard duplex-style receptacle. They also suggest grounding the generator which I agree with. I didn't buy anything fancy for this. I just made a grounding rod out of a short piece of copper pipe and some spare wire, nuts and bolts. So, all in all I spent about $20 on additional parts. If you don't have one spend an extra few bucks on an outlet tester for piece of mind.

I recieved the item pretty quick. When i checked the the box for damage there was no noticeable damage. After i opened the box and put the wheels and handle on I noticed a dent on the carrage bar. After looking closer there was more damage. The exhaustcover was pushed in and ripped so it had to have been dropped or hit very hard to cause this damage. Also the air filter compartment had been damaged it had been pushed in and had been broken. The on off switch was broken. When started after awhile it started throwing oil out of the exhaust. After investigating i found out that the plug screw was bent badly It had to have been bent before it was installed because there is no way it could have been bent after instalation. I have tried to contact someone many times with no response. This was my first order from Amazon and if something is not done it will be my last. For what it is worth the generator did start on the second pull, and would most likely be a great product if not for the extremely poor condition it was delivered in.

Works well I've load tested the generator and no complaints. Delivery was one week with free shipping. I recommend getting the transfer switch, makes it much easier to hook up in an emergency. I installed the switch myself all connections in the panel are on the load side, easy to install as long as you are comfortable and careful not to touch the wrong thing.
Only thing wrong was the ad said it was 11 horsepower motor but the one I received the generator I found it was 13 horsepower, I'm not complaining.
I completed a load test with the generator and the 100 foot 8/4 cable I made up and it purred like a kitten. I will be able to run most of my home in an outage. I hooked it all up to 120 v circuits skipping the 240 circuits for the hot water and stove. My thought is hot water will be a luxury in an outage I can always jump it over to heat water if desperate. If you plan on making up a cable to fit your needs I recommend shopping around online. The best price I found for the 100 8/4 was $211 with shipping. The connectors ran me $50 with shipping. I could have probably saved on the L-14 connectors but didn't feel like spending time shopping for them so I went with what I found quickly At 100 feet from the house the sound is no more than a distant neighbor mowing the lawn.
Happy customer
