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.

BEST DEAL GOING !

I PURCHASED THE GT4000 GENERATOR. ( THE 6 MOS. NO INTEREST / NO PAYMENTS WITH A STORE CARD WAS ATTRACTIVE TO ME ).( IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME )! . .
I SHOPPED QUITE EXTENSIVELY PRIOR TO BUYING. . . I RELIED PRETTY MUCH ON THE REVIEWS HERE. . . THE PRICE FOR THE WATTAGE OUTPUT IS UNBEATABLE. . . ACTUALLY, THE LOW PRICE MADE ME A LITTLE LEARY. . . BUT, I RECIEVED IT JUST AS IT CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY, IN PERFECT SHAPE. . . NOT A SCRATCH OR DENT. . . I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH IT'S APPEARANCE AND THE REVIEWS OF OTHERS THAT I'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE IT WITHOUT GAS AND OIL FOR STORAGE ( SAFETY ) UNTIL THIS SUMMER UNLESS I NEED IT BEFORE THEN. . . ( Assembly of wheels, etc., was a CINCH ) . . AT THIS POINT I AM TRUSTING THAT IT WILL RUN AND FUNCTION AS WELL AS IT LOOKS. . . I WILL FIND OUT WHEN THE TIME COMES OR WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARMER ( South Carolina ). . . I AM WELL PLEASED WITH WHAT I SEE SO FAR AND HAVE FAITH THAT IT WILL SERVE ME IN AN EMERGENCY. . . I WOULD RECCOMMEND IT BASED ON WHAT I KNOW AND HAVE SEEN SO FAR. . . . THE PRICE IS CERTAINLY RIGHT, . . ESPECIALLY WITH FREE SHIPPING !!! . . .

I received this generator just last week and just in time for a several-hour power outage. When my power went out yesterday afternoon, my new generator was still sitting in my garage unopened. I opened the box only to discover that there was not a manual or any paperwork whatsoever inside. It wasn't too difficult to figure out however. There are two wheels and two rubber feet that need attached to the bottom and a handle that needs attached to the side. That was all of the assembly that was required. I filled it up with 10W-30 oil and then put in the gasoline. It started up pretty easily. (After I figured out which way the choke was supposed to go!) I let the engine stabilize and then plugged in a lamp to make sure that everything was working OK. After a brief moment where my heart sank when the light didn't come on, I realized that the GFCI breakers come tripped. I reset them and viola - light!
I connected a 2200sf pellet stove, two lamps, and my refrigerator/freezer to the generator. Of course, when I plugged in the fridge, it stuttered briefly, but it got back on track very quickly.
I'm pretty impressed with it so far!
Update following Northeast Dec 2008 ice storm... (just two weeks AFTER the previous post)
My power was out for four days. This generator got almost EIGHTY hours of run time. I changed the oil once for good measure but it kept the house warm and the lights on!

Came undamaged and started on second pull. Worked in camground situation well and loudness is a relative thing. Rubber feet are a little weak but cheap to replace. Sitting in garage with stabilizer in fuel waiting for first ice storm/Hurricane of season. When it happens I'll have TV / Heat / Hot Water / Light / Air Conditioning in bedroom w/ window unit / refrigerator for food. More than enough power in homes running natural gas. You'll need more if your appliances are electric.

Great generator. Works just as advertised. It came in very handy when the power went out. It ran (2) 1500 watt heaters and a few lights with no problems for hours. Kept me from freezing my butt off on a very cold an rainy day. Glad I brought it.

Received this generator very quickly, there was no damage from shipping, put on the wheels, filled it with oil and gas and it started up very easily. Starter pull handel is in an awkward position, but, it pulls with ease and starts right away so I can live with this.
