DuroMax 4400-watt 7HP Gas Powered Generator

Received a day earlier then estimated, in good condition. The box has a small rip,but product was fine. One note - many generators need to be grounded. We went to local hardware store and bought copper stranded wire and a grounding rod as specificed in the manual. Put in oil and some gas, started right up. Didn't use it, but did plug in a couple of small power tools and they ran. Not super loud, when I went inside the house it sounded about the same as when my neighbors mow their lawns. And we had it right outside the door to test it. Shopped around webites and local stores, for this wattage and the reviews it got on the internet this was a good deal.

Great product for the job. I bought it in case of emergencies and the reality is that with the crazy weather this year up in New England I am sure it will be an asset!

Although I did not lose power during the heavy rains and the "freak" October snow storm, I knew of a number of families that went without power for over a week. When I saw a 4400 Watt unit being sold for less than $$$ with $1 shipping, I snapped it up. While it is not a top brand name, it arrived well packaged and sturdy looking. ( It weighs a litlle over 100 lbs. but has a wheel set included ). I have since run it a few times and tested it with a series of outlets that I wired for emergency use. It works well and is barely audible from inside the house. It certainly won't be able to power the whole house but can definitely keep my gas heat's motor and pump running along with the refrigerator and sump pumps plus a number of essential devices. I would definitely recommend this unit although the price has since gone up a little.

My friend and neighbor and I bought this generator to have on hand for the next extended power outage that seem to occur more often. We assembled and tested both of them on the same day so we are ready. We also are going to have an electrician hook them up to our breaker boxes. The packaging was a little beat up, but the actual generators were in perfect condition. Will write another review after using the generators for an extended period, but are happy we made the investment. Overstock rocks.
