We had to use it one night and we plugged in our two sump pumps our neighbors sump pump and our fridge and used a power strip, and it barely used gas in three hours.

works as advertised

Comment:
Unpacked kit per the directions, put gas in it and fired it up in two pulls. We used it for a week on vacation about 8-12 hours per day. After that I changed the oil, no sign of any issues there. The fuel tank was larger than advertised. Don't expect to dip into the transient power rating for any measureable amount of time.

Now that I have it, I havent needed it

Comment:
OK, I took one star off because - 1) I havent had to use it yet... and 2) I really believe a generator needs to come with a generator cord.
And no generator comes with a cord - its not this one alone - but hey I gotta vent somewhere ! :-)
So, after the December the ice storm and associated 4 days of no power, I just had to get me a generator. This one seemed most reasonably priced for the power I was looking for. It also came with a wheel kit, so
Came on time, very well packaged, clear instructions, so all good there. Took 1 hr to open, assemble, fill oil and gas and test. Had to tip the entire generator 45 degrees fill in the oil so maybe the long neck funnel is a good idea after all.
Started on one pull and reasonably quiet as generators go. I've only tested it with a portable electric heater (I still need to wire up my house), but I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

Good quality, quiet, reasonable price

Comment:
Purchased as an emergency home generator. I haven't had to use it for any real power outage, but I have run it several times and loaded it up to near the rated capacity, letting it run long enough to get fully warmed up.
I have been very pleased. It starts easily, and runs fairly quiet. From inside the house, I can barely hear it. If I ran it 15 or 20 feet from my bedroom window (double pane), I don't think it would interfere with my sleep.
I shopped around quite a bit for generators, and I think this is a good price for a relatively quiet generator (69 db). I assume those that don't give a noise rating probably have poor ratings.

15 days without power would have been my destiny had it not been for the DuroMax4400E. Not only was it the quietest generator of all the gen sets running in my cul-de-sac, it lasted the longest time (12 hours @50%load) of all the rest on 4 gallons of fuel. After unpacking, fueling and adding the oil...I turned the key and it was all heaven from then on, I did use the pull crank to make sure it worked and it started on the first pull. She ran 12 hours with a 2-3 hour cooling off period in between shifts. It ran a huge Refridgerator/freezer, a small chest freezer, a 5500 BTU window A/C, several fans,2 lamps,a 31TV, Boombox, and phone chargers. All without a hiccup. Followed the directions , plugged in the highest wattage first,kept the oil topped off and finally changed it after 15 days of use and it wasnt that dirty. This gen set was awesome and the best money I have ever spent for creature comforts. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone in need and as a matter of fact a couple neighbors did replace their older noisier models for a DuroMax after seeing what mine did. Planning on getting the bigger 10,000 watt surge Duromax for next years' hurricane season and power up right to the house CB box with a switch box.I was amazed and impressed. Loved the fact that it didnt require frequent oil changes as some gen sets do. 5 stars *****

Excellent Value and Customer Service

I purchased two of these generators as stand-by power for my home. The generator is well built and started on the first pull. Great value for all the included features. Fast delivery and excellent customer service.

Outstanding

Comment:
I purchased this in the electric start model. The generator arrived in three days (CA - MI) in perfect condition. The instructions was written in clear English. It took about 15 minutes to remove the packing and assemble the wheel/handle kit. The generator started right up and purred like a kitten. I was amazed how quiet it was. All in all, I feel I got an outstanding deal.

Awesome Generator!!!

The power goes out a few times a year in our neighborhood during the summer and I'm just sick of sweating all night long and not being able to sleep. I looked for an inexpensive generator that would give us power for a portable AC unit, refrigerator, lights, etc. After seeing all 8 reviews giving this baby 5 stars, and free shipping, I decided to order it. It arrived faster than stated and the electric start worked perfectly. I didn't have to use the pull start at all. I just tested it out with an industrial style fan in the garage as a test and it worked great. It's pretty quiet for a motor but I don't have any experience with generators, so I don't know what is loud. So far, I really like it and I hope it's reliable for years to come.
