DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric Start

DuroMax XP4400E

Review DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric Start
          Good performance, excellent value,  Great Generator - I purchased DuroMax XP4400E mine in November 2010, after I got it, I put it together and started breaking it in. It is quite important on small motors without oil filters, I ran it at 3/4 load for 5 hours and changed the oil (dino oil, non-synthetic) where there was allot of metal shavings. It's normal to obtain metal shavings on break-in lacking any oil filter, the rings are forming for the cylinder wall, I ran it 5 more of their time at full load and changed the oil a second time. Then I started employing a top quality synthetic oil designed for small engines (AMSoil), Also i bought an hour meter away from eBay and cut a hole inside plastic panel to mount it and ran the positive through the meter towards key switch as well as the other wire was a ground (two wire hook-up, quite simple). I customize the oil every 30 hours now as soon as the burglary, I put 127 hours into it last winter due to power outages as well as the XP4400E did perfect. It isn't in the highest quality and has gone dead on me twice nonetheless it going on the second pull both times while using recoil start back-up, I acquired a deep-cycle motorcycle battery (Oddessy) using a 12 year warrenty as well as a 2 year charge life that starts it in 1 revolution at 30* temp. It will seem they've already fixed the situation using the fuel tank leaking as is also, I've read several reviews where unlucky buyers got a generator your problem, every one of the reviews that mentioned it are older reviews. I gave it 5 stars however the battery was cheesy i was required to change it out. If broke in right and the oil is changed every countless hours, there isn't any reason this generator won't have longevity, it dose use brushes within the generator but those are incredibly simple to replace DuroMax XP4400E.

WEN 56352 3,000 Watt 196cc 6.5 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit


Review WEN 56352
      Perfectly designed generator, I purchased this WEN 56352 generator because I want to a compact generator that will provide both 120 and 240 volts. You have to browse the generator descriptions cautiously as they are generally written by an gent who has little electrical knowledge or they may be compiled by the company and they are sometimes misleading. In particular, this generator will be rated at the surge capacity of 3500 watts by many manufacturers as opposed to the 3000 watts that Amazon lists. The generator started at the first pull and i also purchased an RV plug to touch base on the circular twistlock plug that include the generator. This plug costs about 20 dollars but is included with the generator. I need to every single child have the full output at 120 volts well , i place in a call towards the phone number painted about the generator and located individuals manning the phones didn't know what these were discussing. I insert an inquiry at Wen's website but got a call the next day from someone that was beneficial. Here will be the deal: In the event the 120/240 switch is determined at 120, the complete 25 amps can be found at either of the 120 receptacles. If the switch is placed at 240, 120 volts can be acquired at the twistlock so is 240 volts. But, since two outputs with the generator are now in series, you can only pull reduced amperage around 13 amps from either the 120 or 240 volts, but is not both. This can be a excellent design and for that reason far the generator has never didn't start taking the 1st pull. I'm very pleased along with it. I've an associate degree in electronics and also have a sufficient amount of experience in this are WEN 56352.

Powermate PM0497000.04 8,750 Watt 389cc 13HP Honda GX390 Gas Powered Portable Generator


Review Powermate PM0497000.04
           Great Product Powermate PM0497000.04 and excellent customer satisfaction, After a straightforward assembly and filling with gas and oil, a fast pull for the cord and it also started up very first time. It ran smooth and quiet. A small sector was missing through the handle so I emailed customer care at powermate and reported the part number that had been missing. I'm happy to report they emailed me back and shipped the part to me in the morning making sure that I possibly could assemble the generator handle properly. Perfect product and superb customer support....Who could require something more!
I fitted a transfer switch and wired an online outdoor socket then stored my generator inside shed....All ready for the next power failure. Powermate PM0497000.04

DuroMax Elite MX1500 1,500 Watt 3 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator

DuroMax Elite MX1500

 DuroMax Elite MX1500 Review
           DuroMax Elite MX1500 Generator, Delighted on this purchase. Generator moving on the 3rd pull first-time I attempt to utilize it. Choke lever position is mislabeled (reversed) on the unit and in the manual. I noticed the choke butterfly was a student in a bad position when I pulled the top's to the air cleaner to evaluate it before running. Experimented with contact owner about this issue, but got a clear form response "For anyone who is having troubles together with your new .......,etc." Not thrilled about their ignorance and potential future responses in case of trouble. I was thinking they will often need to include an errata sheet something like that, nevertheless they cant be found paying much attention.
Otherwise, I ran it for 2 hours while monitoring the output having a 600 W worklight plus a P4400 Kill A Watt. Ran fine, steady, and relatively quiet at 63Hz freq. Didn't appear to put a dent or dimple into the gas supply in the tank. Didn't get the opportunity make use of it for any real emergency yet - I got it for that recent hurricane within the New england, but never lost city power. Don't forget that it's with a rating of only 1000 W continuous duty, though. I obtained it mainly for that sump pump that's about all it might handle, anyway. Stated in China. Big surprise there DuroMax Elite MX1500!!
