Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blue Max GEN4000B 4,000 Watt 6.5 HP 4-Stroke OHV Gas Powered Generator
Customer Review: Great generator for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
Very dependable generator. I use it to run two 500 watt halogen lights,and a coffee maker for early morning flea market set ups. This means hauling it in a pickup bed over sometimes bumpy roads. It has never had a hiccup. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the gas tank lid doesn't totally seal and will leak with a full tank. Also there is a leak around the fuel gauge when the tank is full and sloshing. I will probably change gaskets and see if that solves the problem. Not a big issue but one worth noting just for the safety factor. I would recommend this generator to anyone for medium duty use.Customer Review: Mostly happy
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in a semi rural area in Michigan. It seems every time we have a storm the power goes out, thus this purchase.
Product was delivered on time in perfect condition. I filled the engine with oil (not provided) and gas, gave it 2 pulls and it was up and running. Sure enoungh, one week later we lost power. Generator worked perfect--ran 2 refrigerators, furnace and some lights with no trouble for 8 hours. Remember, this is 4000 watt MAX unit, normal output is 2800 watts. Also, it is heavy (about 90 pounds)
The reason I gave only 4 stars is because it was made in China.
Customer Review: Cheap but will do the job
Summary: 3 Stars
Good: Starts easily, plenty of power for my travel trailer, relatively quiet (compared the American-made gens), good on gas, good value. I had it running nearly all day and night for 6 days. I even left it out in the rain when running. No problems.
Bad: Eats oil. I had to top off the oil with every tank of gas because it goes low and triggers the auto shut-off. The quality of the bolts and metal is typical Chinese. I had to loctite the bolts on the wheel kit because if you tighten they will break and undertighten them they will vibrate loose.

This product was in good condition when it arrived. Only problem was there was no instruction book. Called Amazon and they gave me a phone number which nobody ever answers. My only solution now is to repackage the generator, not easy for a single women as it is quite heavy, and send it back to Amazon for an exchange. I am not happy about the fact that there is no way to contact the maker of the product.Customer Review: Get a Better Wheel Kit at Harbor Freight
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this unit, unpacked it and found no defects as written in previous reviews. Purchased a wheel kit from HARBOR FREIGHT [...]. It is designed for a 13 hp unit, so it is much more robust than the suggested wheel kit. The HARBOR FREIGHT kit is not an exact fit, but with drilling -4- holes in the generator frame, I find works extremely well supporting this 6.5 hp Blue Max generator.
