ETQ TG72K12 Portable Generator
The ETQ TG72K12 portable generator is a few hundred dollars more expensive than the Duromax XP4400, but you get almost twice the power. It packs 8,250 watts and it’s powered by a 13HP 420cc 4-cycle engine, making it a great choice for those looking to power more appliances and lights. It is a gas powered generator with an electric start system, making it extremely easy to start in an emergency.
It has a low oil auto shutdown sensor with a 6.42 gallon fuel tank, and can power many appliances for over 10 hours on 50% load. This portable generator also comes with two 120 volt GFCI outlets, one 240 volt twist-lock outlet, and one 120 volt 30-amp RV connection. The engine is durable, efficient and very easy to operate.
Not only is the ETQ TG72K12 gas powered portable generator powerful, it is also very quiet. This is due to it’s oversized muffler. It has been rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5 with many great reviews.

DuroMax XP4400E Portable Generator
The Duromax XP440E has been receiving many great reviews lately. This 4,400 watt gas powered generator is an excellent choice for the money. It has a 4 gallon gas tank that gives it about 8 hours of running time. One of the great features is the electric key start and the included battery. This generator will also shut off automatically when the oil goes low.
The heavy duty steel frame and four point motor mounts provide extra insulation for a smooth and quiet operation. You can take the XP440E almost anywhere with it’s all terrain tires that are also flat-proof. If you’re looking for a quiet and power generator then I highly recommend the Duromax Xp440E. It’s hard to find a more reliable and powerful generator for under $500.00
