Customer Rating: - Eastern Tools 1200 Watt generator
I bought this unit to power a Jugs pitching machine. Jugs sells a 1000W generator manufactured by Yamaha for north of $700. This generator has worked perfectly at a fraction of the price. I am sure it is not the quality of the Yamaha but no more time than we put on the unit I expect many more seasons out of it.

Customer Rating: - Good if you can get it to work
The construction of this generator is as cheap as its price. I could not get it started out of the box. It turned out that the tie-in between the spark plug and the plug wire was a cheap coil that had two small flanges that poked into the plug wire through two small holes in the wire. This very insecure connection was loose. When I seated it correctly, the generator started, but its vibrations soon broke the connection. Fixing it was difficult because the connection tended to come loose most of the time when you slid the overly snug boot over the plug-coil-wire connection. You have to do this to avoid a potentially dangerous spark near the gas and/or a short. Any way, what I finally did was to use electrical tape to hold the coil wires in place where they went into the plug wire. Then I split the boot so I could get it around the connection without disturbing it and put electrical tap around the boot to suppress any stray spark. Since then it has worked fine, and for the money, is great. Paired with a 16 inch Black and Decker trimmer, it cut my time to trim bushes in half compared to having to run electrical chords all the way from the house. The bottom line is you get what you pay for. The machine is cheaply constructed, but it is a sixth of the price of a good small generator like a Honda. If you have the inclination and skills to tinker with it, it is a good deal. If you don't, it may give you no end of grief.

Customer Rating: - Much better than expected...
I was worried to buy this generator after I was reading all the other evaluations... for nothing. It turned out to be a great buy!
Super fast shipping from Amazon - in less than 48 hours in front of my door with super saver shipping (free).
No problem about transport damage - the generator was packed in a heavy and strong box, sitting in a item shaped styrophom casing - safe....
Unpacked, manual consulted, gas and oil filled (super easy), and cranked.
Started at the first stroke! Run for a few seconds rough, then right away very smooth.
I was primarily surprised about the low noise level. It has a low dump sounding and smooth running noise, even on my closed in balcony. I hardly could hear the noise when I just closed the balcony door. Incredible!
The worksmenship looks trustworthy and I believe the generator will hold up - just listening to the smooth engine sound to realize that this engine will hold up some milage.
The fill in lid comes with measuring cap to get the right amount of oil to the gasoline and everything looks like well thought out and easy to handle. Easy for anyone, technical touched or with to left hands super easy and simple.
The instructions are clear and fast understandable - it took about five minutes to get to the start up.
Again, amazing is the low noise level. The mufler does its job, and the strong rubber feet take 100% care of any vibration.
I obviously can not tell if this generator lives for many years in service of construction sites - I live in a hurricane area and need the back up in case we are again for a long period out of electricity (two years ago for two weeks). I am confident that this generator will do a superior job for that purpose. He produces enough power to run a regular fritch to keep things from spoiling, runs a large TV, and charges my computer system, besides providing light. It appears that the frequenz modulation is alright too because I had no problems with electronic equipment.
It also has a 12 Volt hook up and even clamps for battery charging are supplied. Nevertheless, there is only one single receptacle - means you will need a multiple T to hook up more lines. I would also certainly recommend to use a multiple plug in like you use for electronic or computer equipment to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations - just in case...
Simple to use - good quality - dependable - highly recommendable!
(I am writing all this, because I was lost reading all the other evaluations and like to help making the right decissions)
