September 20th, 2012 Very quite: Comment:

Got new Gen. 9/17/12. Was packed good.Put wheels on.

I have information for new owners, that should be in the manual. To break in new Gen. you put in iol, and gas, start up for 4 hours with control idol off,and main breaker off. Than drain iol and put new back in. Let run for a few min. and it is ready for use.

July 28th, 2012 Awsome Generator: Comment:

I live in the northeast. Storms becoming more powerful and power outages more frequent. Been thinking about getting a generator for years. Did alot of research. Decided the Duromax XP 8500 would suit my needs. Last summer we had a hurricane come through and my nieghbors lost power 5 houses away for 5-6 days. I was lucky. Didnt lose power and still didnt buy my generator. This June I went on to generator factory.com to check on the prices. I placed my order including a cover. A week later I got a call from Federal Express. They told me when they were coming and called a half hour prior to arrival. They unloaded it off the truck and put it in my garage. Gave the guy $10.00. Looked over the directions a few times. Borrowed jack stands from my neighbor. Lifted up one side to put on legs then other side and put on wheels. Pretty easy even though directions were a little hard to understand. Hooked up battery. Added 10W30 synthetic motor oil, gas. Turned the key and it started right up. No problems so far. Had a transfer switch installed by an electician. Everything on it except cental air, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer. Tried it out and everthing ran great. Refrigerators, tvs, ceiling fans, lights, oil burner. Even have my pool on it. Have since bought a 40 foot cable so I can move it further from my house. A 10 foot cable came with transfer switch. Hope I wont ever need it. If I do Ill be ready.

July 16th, 2012 quality machine: Comment:

just received my 8500. packaging was top notch. easy to attach handles and wheels, started on second pull. the instructions, however, left a lot to be desired. i had to call tech support to find out where the ground cable was for the onboard battery. all in all i am very satisfied with the machine.

July 9th, 2012 Dura Max 8500E: Comment:

Ordered it on June 30th and it arrived Fed-Ex July 7th in perfect shape. Not bad considering a Holiday and weekend in the middle. I already had the oil 10/30SAE and fresh gas. So I put the wheel kit together, put the gas and oil in and turned in on and two pulls and it started up right away. I am very happy with my purchase. Especially when I did price comparison with Home Depot, Lowes, and Sears. Generator Factory Outlet has them all beat. no tax or shipping. Great buy.

July 9th, 2012 Great Generator for Price: Comment:

This generator exceeded my expectations for the price paid. The only cons for this product is that the assembly material should be updated to reflect what you actually get with generator. Instead of plastic washers for the handles, you get steel washers and the wheels have no inflation valve as they are the never flat tires that require no air. After filling with oil and gas, the unit started right up with the turn of the key. I researched quite a few generators in this size range and this one stood up to the best of them with all the included items on the generator. I think I made a good investment buying this generator and would recommend to others.

May 15th, 2012 Rugged durable generator: Comment:

Ordering was a bit of a hassle due to a computer problem on Generator Factory Outlets part. I placed 1 phone call and the problem was rectified quickly. Generator was delivered in 3 days. I read the instructions and the generator started on 1st try. Overall I am happy with the generator and my purchase.
