When operating at the highest setting, the ETQ TG52T42 Gas Powered Portable Generator will put out 5,250 watts of power, and will top out at 6000 watts of surge power. Guidelines suggest that the minimum amount of power needed to keep the essential items and appliances going in a home is 5000 watts - so the TG52T42 exceeds this with 250 watts to spare.
Engine Details
Pumping energy through the pipes is the responsibility of the ETQ specialty, 13 horsepower engine. All engines on ETQ products have been specifically engineered with home power generation in mind, and that means that they are very efficient, and equally as quiet.
This particular engine is air cooled, and features a low oil automatic shutdown system, which will prevent your home generator from going up in smoke half way through the night - if you accidentally forget to check the oil level before you go to bed.
Onboard Technology
We should start off by saying that this generator is non-CARB compliant, and therefore not available for purchase in California. The moment people hear this - they immediately move to label the product as both "dirty" and "inefficient" - however this is simply not the case.
Trading 13 horsepower for 5250 watts is not too bad at the end of the day, and the efficiency to be had out of such a machine is admirable. Obviously, all the standard ETQ features that consumers have come to love on the company's home generators is still present, and we have run through these so many times in the past - no doubt you are familiar with them by now.
Our Rating of ETQ TG52T42 Gas Powered Portable Generator
The ETQ TG52T42 Gas Powered Portable Generator gets a big thumbs up from us - as there are a huge number of benefits of using and owning this model. For example, the power output is not too big and not too small - making it a perfect option for those consumers who really have no idea as to what they need from a home generator - as far as technical specifics are concerned.
It's also a very easy generator to get going - and the instructions on set-up and maintenance cannot be misunderstood.
