Powerful Engine with Oversized Muffler for Quiet Operation
The PG30P11 features a powerful, seven horsepower, 208-cc, four-stroke, propane-powered OHV engine that is capable of producing 3,000 continuous watts and 3,500 maximum watts. Its pull recoil makes for easy, reliable starts every time. And with a quick-connect coupler, it hooks up easily to any gas grill's propane tank (not included).Eco-friendly, this generator uses only 1-1/2 pounds of gas per hour under a 50-percent load, meaning you can enjoy your appliances for hours on end without worrying about your carbon footprint. The engine isn't just powerful, it's also quiet. Thanks to its oversized muffler, the generator produces sound at just 65 decibels during operation, making it an ideal choice for camping. Alternator Technology Safely Delivers Electricity to Your Appliances
One of the most innovative features of the PG30P11 is its ETQ Clean Sine Alternator Technology that ensures low total harmonic distortion (THD). THD is a measure of the quality of the electricity produced by a generator, and THD above six percent can damage electronics and other components over time. With THD of less than five percent, the PG30P11 ensures high-quality, safe delivery of electricity from the generator to your electrical components. With low THD, this generator is computer-friendly, meaning it's completely safe to use with laptops, printers, desktop computers, and more. The PG30P11 will give you peace of mind knowing that your computer hardware is completely safe from power surges and bad-quality electricity. 3,500 Watts of Power to Handle Most of Your Household Electronics
The PG30P11 produces up to 3,500 watts of power to run most of your electrically powered household items. You can use the 120-volt, 20-amp GFCI protected dual outlet to power lamps, TVs, computers, fans, or other low-wattage appliances all at the same time. Or take advantage of the 30-amp outlet to power higher wattage electrical components and appliances. Both outlets are circuit-breaker protected for complete safety from power surges that can damage your appliances and equipment. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction That's Built for Portability
Everything from the heavy-duty cast iron engine to the durable rolled steel tubing surround is built to last. Weighing 106 pounds and measuring just 25.5 x 21 x 19.5 inches (LxWxH), this generator is easy to move and store. Propane Power is Eco-Friendly, Affordable, and Convenient
Propane is a clean-burning fuel that is better for the environment than regular gasoline. It's also very inexpensive and convenient to use. One propane tank can power both your propane gas grill and your PG30P11 Portable Generator; simply switch the quick-connect coupler and you're ready to go. The ETQ PG30P11 LP Portable Generator is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty. What's in the Box

Propane Generator September 3, 2010
D. Coker (Victoria, Tx.)
This item was purchased for use at home and when traveling in a fifth wheel. It does not provide the wattage needed for large items but will keep the a/c unit running in a 30 amp trailer which is good for summer use. It did provide power for small tools but would throw the breaker if the item got into a bind. All-in-all this generator should work well for the cost and use I wanted. One of the big pluses for propane is you don't have to drain and bleed the lines when not in used for a long time.
Good value, some problems August 31, 2010
Pat Pending
The manual is very poorly written. Example, the "LPG denser device (bottom)" is actually a red button on the TOP of the generator.
The generator started on the second pull with the choke set open. Manual says to set the choke lever to "choke", but there is no such labeled setting. The choke lever is labeled either "open" or "close". Setting the lever to open sets the choke OFF and that is the best way to start. The "denser bottom" is actually the red button on top and should be pressed briefly if you have just connected the LPG tank. This allows gas to flow. Only press it briefy (less than a second, you'll hear gas flowing).
My generator "galloped" (throttle oscilates, makes a broom-broom sound rather than a constant running sound). I called the help desk and talked to a tech and he gave me accurate instruction on how to correct this. I did it in less than 15 minutes.
If you don't find the tool kit that is supposed to ship with the generator, look above the muffler. You'll find the tool kit there.
Finally, don't forget oil. You can get a 1/2 quart container at any hardware store. Also, get an oil funnel with a flexible neck to make it easier to pore the oil into the tight location.
 Great Generator August 18, 2010

This is an awesome generator. Quiet compared to similar gas powered models. No fuel spills. Started up easily (must add oil first). Convenient and low priced machine. Barely bogs down when running the AC in my early 80's RV.
Worked great August 16, 2010
Walter Fry (Houston, TX United States)
The generator worked great first time right out of the box, followed the instructions for prep and started right up. No problems. I like that it uses the same LPG that my grill uses.
choke rod problems July 17, 2010
Robin Andre -Thomas (Dunnellon, FL USA)
Item arrived quickly and was well packaged.
Bought for emergency purposes.
Took item out followed instructions to the letter. Would not start after over 50 pulls. Tried various choke positions. BTW the choke rod is VERY flimsy (keep reading it gets painfully funny) Looked at troubleshooting and retraced steps. Tried again--no dice. Gave up emailed ETQ company (bought through Home Depot). No response from ETQ company after 1 week. GRRRRR
Next Saturday (today) after reading messages from other posters, tried again. This time with air filter cover off and various propane gas positions. Still playing with choke rod. Engine seemed to have more life in it but wouldn't hold start. During one pull the choke rod actually fell off (this is the funny part) and since we had the air cover off we could see that the choke was never being adjusted by the choke rod because the choke rod pin was never actually seated into the slot that would allow it to open and close chock. (explains the flopping, right). So funny thing, once the choke rod moves the choke the generator starts right up. If we hadn't had the air cover off we would not have seen that the choke wasn't moving.)
Glad we were able to resolve this on a sunny day with no hurricane coming. Glad my husband is a very strong guy. I think this unit will serve the purpose (just to run a small freezer to keep things cold). But it just should not have been this way out of the box. And no response from customer service is very poor form.
I'll give it a 4 because I think the product will be great overall and I don't want to trash the whole thing over what turned out to be something simple. But if you are going to make something that will serve folks in an emergency--you need to take that into consideration and run some QC before shipping it out.
What we'll do now is use the Choke rod as a starter key to turn the choke on and off and once the unit is on we'll put away the choke rod. Great lesson in how important air mixed with gas really is. (that you Mr. Wizard)
Hope this helps some other poor fools. Good luck.
