Manufacturer Review
Reliability for 100 years
By Charles Demirjian
Tillotson Power Products President
Review Posted 08/17/2015
Tillotson Power Products generators are designed for the serious user looking for advanced features and reliability. For the past 100 years, we’ve been creating and standing behind the best fuel systems for the biggest companies in virtually every power segment, including automobile, motorcycle, lawn & garden, construction, snowmobile, jet ski, outboard marine, unmanned aircraft and racing. For our entry into the consumer product market, we’ve taken that experience and created a line of portable generators that are designed to outperform everything else on the market. We’ve incorporated a modified racing engine rated at 2000+ hours into full featured generators which boast a square steel frame for enhanced stability and durability; heavy duty drop handles and large run-flat tires for easy mobility; electronic run time meter for monitoring engine service life; covered electrical outlets to protect against moisture; low oil automatic shut off to prevent engine damage and an easy-on keyed electric start with recoil option to make starting safe and easy. This model is ideal for camping and RV use as well as emergency use. In addition to its 2 GFCI covered outlets, it offers a 120V/30A RV outlet and a 12V DC plug and operates on either gasoline or a standard propane tank.
If you're not familiar with our history, you can learn more about us at tillotson.ie and see our high-performance racing products at Tillotson-racing.com. Our racing division had a major role to play in creating these generators, not only with their enhanced engines but also making them a true work of art, something you’d be proud to show off at the track, in your back yard and anywhere else. The roll-cage design with our trademark diamond grate not only looks great, but also lets you stack boxes, tools and other items on top when not in use for efficient storage. The generators can also be upgraded with our low-emission, ultra-quite TillotsonTCT carburetors, available later this year.
We stand behind our generators with our 100 year manufacturing history and a 2 year parts/1 year labor warranty. If you have any questions or need help, we’ll be here to answer your questions, or you can always email us at sales@tillotsonpower.com.

Review Posted 02/14/2016
Very poor literature. Couldn't find s/n for warranty card. Difficult to connect battery. Still haven't got the electric start to work. Ran fine when I finally sorted it out.

Best Fathers' Day present we ever gave
By Cathy G.
Hinsdale, Illinois
Review Posted 07/16/2015
My husband asked for a replacement generator for Fathers' Day because he didn't like the current one that we used at our cottage. The power goes out there frequently. He gave the kids (ha! - me!) the link for this Tillotson one and so we just bought it.
It's super quiet (which I noticed) and he likes it better than our Honda. My husband says it's easy to start and move from the garage to the cottage. Also, he likes the plugs and propane option. And he said it's more fuel efficient.
I just know he says it's his best Fathers' Day gift ever. Score!!
