February 24th, 2013 Good one to look at: Comment:

I ordered this unit the day of Super Storm Sandy and got it nexrt day, if that is even possible from CA to NJ in one day!! Put oil in it, and gas, it fired up right away and we didnt turn it off for 14 days, it never gave us a hint of trouble I would suggest to order it NOW, if your in the market, because waiting until you need it is Silly/stupid, and I would know.

February 12th, 2013 Awesome Generator...Love it!!!: Comment:

Bought it after Irene and ran it for 7 days during Sandy. It did an awesome job. I had a transfer switched installed with 10 breakers, it turned out to be the best thing I did. I was able to run 3/4 of my 2400 Sq foot house. Also the service is great, I called to ask them some questions and they answered them right away. Thank you Generator Factory Outlet!! Thank you guys!!

February 12th, 2013 wow this is a great generator: Comment:

bought it after Hurricane Sandy, Finally got to use it during the snow storm Nemo. No power 2 days. The temps went to 9 degrees. With the generator we had heat, freezer, TV and lights, it was great, price was fantastic. Best thing I did was buy it. Oh yes I also housed a couple relatives during the storm. Live in R.I. South shore.

February 8th, 2013 So far, very good.: Comment:

I purchased this for back-up power supply since we live in a rural area, and have been without electric for weeks at a time during past storms. Also will use for camping. Came with everything needed except motor oil. Starts right up, is as quiet as any of my three onan rv gensets, (2 1986's, one 1997). Has more voltage and wattage capacity too. Best thing so far, it does not put out stinky fumes! The old gensets I have smell like an old 2cycle engine. The new DuroMax smells like a new car! Engine seems well built and tight, with no rattles. The generator is heavy, and would need two people to lift. With regular maintanence, it should last for years. Thank you.

December 21st, 2012 Finally Had A Chance To Test It.: Comment:

I order the Duromax 8500E before Hurricane Sandy, but did not recieve it until after the storm. We were lucky not to lose our electric for very long, but we lost our electric last night and I finally had a chance to test it. It started up with no problem and ran everything in the house with no problem. The only 220w I had hooked to it was Hot Water tank and it did not bog down when the hot water kicke on. We only used the lights we needed. We used the TV,DVR, and Pellet Stove with no problem, plus the computer (to contact the power company) and I never heard the Generator bog down once. My only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I had trouble figuring out all the buttons on the Generator. I never used a generator before and the manual was not very helpful. I was not sure if I was suppose to have the circut breaker on or off. There were two other buttons wich I figure to be some sort of circut trip. I figured most of it out myself, but it would be nice to explain a little better in the manual. I definitely would recomend this Generator. I bought it because of the good rating it recieved. Make the manual a little more user friendly for first time users and It will get 5 stars from me.

November 7th, 2012 Did the Job During Sandy: Comment:

Live in Northern New Jersey and my power was out for 5 days as a result of Hurricane Sandy. My DuroMAX XP8500E ran my well pump, 2 refrigerators, hot water heater and enough interior and exterior lights to keep everyone safe. I installed a 6 circuit transfer switch with an external connection on the house. Ran the generator just about full-time over the 5 day period with no issues. Never needed to add oil. Burned 7 gallons (full tank) about every 8 or so hours. Buy extra gas cans or you'll be hunting for gas on a daily basis.

November 2nd, 2012 Hurricane Sandy First Test: Comment:

Got my XP8500E this spring set up test ran and put away. Hurricane Sandy showed up in force on 10/29 and we lost power at 3:PM. A huge pine tree came down taking out 4 telephone poles and wires. Got the 8500 up and running. It ran for 3 days and 3 hours without a hitch. Shut off at 20hrs. to change oil, then only twice more to check oil. It powered 2 big refrigerators, all lights when needed, tvs, computers, coffee maker, pellet stove, furnace, well pump, garage doors, my wife even used a small element on the range top to cook.

It ran 8hrs overnight with a 1/4 of a tank left in the morning. I am to say the least very impressed with this generator. Now the only test for this unit is durability and length of life. Im giving a 5 star rating for now.
