Amazon.com Product Description
The Eastern Tools and Equipment 3250-watt portable generator includes a portability kit to make this heavy-duty generator easily mobile. The onboard 7 HP engine delivers up to 13-hours of run time at half load, and it produces a mere 68-decibels at 21-feet, making this generator an ideal choice noise is a consideration. The generator also includes 125-volt 14A ground fault circuit interrupter receptacles and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

 Excellent generator October 24, 2007

I am a Power Quality Technician for the local power company and I have much experience with electric power. This is one fine generator. I was worried the voltage would be all over the place. I placed a 2400 watt load using a Mega Beast on this and it varied by 1 volt! Nominal 120 volts. I was very happy. This will work in an emergency to keep the heat on and the beer cold as long the total watts is not exceeded. Recommended!

Eastern Tools and Equipment 3250-Watt Portable Generator #TG4000E Generator received one day earlier than expected; no damage. Great buy for the price at the $250 price with no shipping costs! Starts easily. Another review indicated faceplate was flimsy and would not hold up. Output receptacles, load protectors, and on/off switch are mounted to frame--therefore sturdy. Faceplate is decorative with descriptions. Exposed wires are as expected; similar to a car engine; should NOT be a problem as they are routed properly. Fuel shut-off valve works fine; generator will continue to run for a while because of residual fuel in the carburetor. Correct shut-down is turning On/Off switch to "Off". Have no clue if robust for commercial applications, but this generator appears great for residential use. Long term use is unknown at this time. So far I am delighted. I looked for several years and finally plunged with this deal.

I looked at every kind of generator available. I knew I didn't have the money for a Honda but I still wanted something I could rely on. After reading the great reviews for this Eastern Tools model I decided to take a chance. The price was definitely right for me. The price has since jumped up a little but I still may buy a second one. The box it came it was beat up a little but the generator showed no damage at all..absolutely beautiful. As many others have mentioned, the pull start rope is totally mounted in the wrong place. My dad and I came up with a simple fix. We just drilled a hole in the front panel and put in a smooth metal grommet. Now the pull handle rests against the front panel and pull very smoothly..not requiring that weird angle of pull it would have required. It looks great..as if it came that way from the factory. The engine runs very smooth and isn't as loud as I thought it would be. We have only run a high output shop fan and some shop lights off of it so far with no surging at all. I am very happy with this generator and will probably buy another. Even at the new higher price it is well worth it.

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.
Excellent Emergency Generator. February 6, 2008

I purchased this generator for emergencies and perhaps the occasional need for portable power. For the price, I have no complaints. This generator does the job. Size, Power, Run-time, Cost, Portability, this generator met all my expectations. During an emergency who cares about a little noise, it's still quieter then a lawnmower.
Most competitors of this size generator charge an extra 50 bucks for the wheel kit, so I'm pleased it was included.
There are some complaints about the oil reservoir location. From my experience, other generators are equally difficult to access. Just tilt the generator against something when you fill the oil.
The Amazon Product Description is a little misleading:
6.5 Hp (not 7), and 75 db (not 68)
Other thoughts- My generator arrived with some shipping damage. The manufacturer honored their warantee, and sent me the replacement parts without any hassle. So I'm pleased overall.
