I recently purchased this TG4000 generator after spending a week in the dark after hurrican Ike struck Ohio. I was able to borrow a Honda 1600 watt generator that helped with the big items (fridge, sump pump, etc.) during the blackout. As soon as the power came back on, I immediately starting searching for a good generator and ended up buying this one. I can tell you, this generator is quieter and has far more bells and whistles than the Honda. Don't give me wrong, Honda makes great products, but for a generator I found you will pay close to $1 per watt for a Honda!! I did a lot of shopping around and most generators for this price won't have extras like: the low oil light, gas guage, 220 outlet, GFI's, metal tank, etc. Another big concern, especially with an extended black out, is the fuel efficiency of the unit. This generator gets about 13 hours on only 4 gallons. You can't beat that! I received this item without a single scratch on it. I put the oil in (which by the way is really not difficult unlike some reviews have mentioned), put some gas in the tank and it started on the very first pull and has started on the first pull every time since!! I haven't had another power outage to test it long term. However, I have given the generator some high watt tests by starting several box heaters on the max power at the same time. This pulled about 3500 instant watts. It kept up with everything I could throw at it without missing a beat. As far as maintenance goes, keep in mind this is an engine so there is some maintenance required (ie. oil changes, starting on occassion, etc.). If you are looking for an excellent generator for an excellent price, look no furthur. You will be thrilled with the purchase!Get more detail about ETQ TG32P12 4000 Watt 7 HP 207cc 4-Cycle OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator (Non-CARB Compliant).
