Tools and Hardware Reviews of DuroMax XP4400 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel KitCustomer Review: Best in it's Class Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this generator October 2008, from [...] for US [...] including shipping. I highly recommend not only this generator, but this site. Dale Thum has been great to work with, and when the free cover was not shipped, he sent it immediately.
The generator started very easily (I didn't opt for a silly electric start). It ran continuously for 6 hours on 1.5 gallons of gas with 200W load. A Honda Generator may be great, but how much better can it be for [...]dollars more! I'm going to use this for emergencies, and the occasional off site work project. I don't need to spend that kind of money.
There are some things to know if you buy this generator. First, there is some assembly required(the handles, wheels, stanchions and removal of shipping bar) so get out the tools. Second, they recommend grounding it by using a copper rod pushed into the ground and connected via 12-14AWG wire to the grounding screw on the front of the generator. While this may not be necessary to operate the unit, it is very adviseable since you have rubber wheels and rubber stoppers and therefore no grounding of the generator to anything but you. If it were to short or pass a current the only path is to the ground through YOU! Be aware that you will need the rod (or a copper pipe worked for me), and the wire, and additional [...] is what it cost me. Also You have to have oil and a funnel with a long spout to put in the crankcase before operation of course, and they say only to use fuel 88 octane or better. That means you need to buy premium grade (mid-grade) fuel. That took me a little more time as I don't use that in my mowers, etc., and had to go get it. After all those things, I was able to start it up, and we were makin' power!
Again, after lots of shopping and looking at the reviews, this is the Generator I bought and would recommend, and ToolCity.com is where I'd get it!
