   Excellent product and delivery time. Filled the gas and oil and started on the first pull. Very quiet as well. Well worth the money!!

   Product arrived as advertized and started on the first crank. I only wish that it had come with the required grounding rod and wire. Otherwise, it was great.

   Just like me, always preparing for “the end”.

   Anyhow, this is a fantastic generator!! As another reviewer stated, I put gas and oil in and she fired up on the first pull!! Remarkably quiet, runs very smooth, and everything is solid on this unit! Metal gas tank WITH GAUGE, metal gas cap, the 12v DC charge pins are a GREAT addition should you need to charge a battery while running the generator. Plenty of outlets, a V gauge, breaker switch, nice On/Off switch, the wheel/handle kit is a true bonus, and it also came with a free nylon cover for when it’s put away it’ll look just like new! Even the paint job is nicely done. For the money you can’t beat this price, especially the shipping!! Take a look around, you will NOT find a better deal on a generator with these features.

   It’s worth noting that the system is a 4400watt PEAK load. It will maintain a 3500watt load, and the extra 900w are to handle the occasional surge when, say, a freezer or refrigerator kicks in. The manual has a nice breakdown of typical wattage draws from various home appliances so you can gauge your use accordingly. This will power all at the same time:
   
   - my chest freezer
   
   - my refrigerator
   
   - my TV/Stereo
   
   - 3 Lights
   
   - Radio (boombox)
   
   and there is still room for a few other items.

   Great deal overall! I also purchased a “gas station”, a 15gallon cylinder with a hose/spigot, to keep on hand for any emergencies which I’d need the gen for.

   The seller is easily reached via phone and was very quick to ship my order out, faster than I anticipated!

   We finally got to use this generator on our last camping trip. Like when we first got it, it started right up. We were able to hook up our pop-up trailer and run it all night. The noise level is definitely do-able, once we all got settled in the trailer, I could barely hear it, and while we had it running I walked over to the next campsite to see how loud it was and couldn’t hear it at all. We are definitely happy with this generator and would recommend it to anyone.

   Update: 02/23/09

   I have run this generator for several hours each time my home has had a power failure and it starts up and performs flawlessly. It saved my basement from flooding due to a 6 hour outage during a rainstorm over the summer!

   This is an EXCELLENT product for the price.

   Someone tried to contact me via email in February and I accidently deleted your note. Please send me another email and I will be glad to answer your questions.

   Sincerely,

   Jim Nitzberg

   I purchased the PowerMax 4400 for emergency use and had it running for 26 flawless hours over the last weekend. This unit has an amazing number of features (other reviews have detailed them) and is very transportable.

   I used it to power lights, a coffee maker and radio transmitters, and the unit is very RF quiet (this is important to radio types).

   I found that during break-in (the first few hours) the unit burned a bit of oil (to be expected) and once the generator was running for awhile, the fuel economy went way up. The rated run time is 8 hours on a full load and mine ran for 10 hours plus on a light load, with a half tank of gas to spare.

   Usually when I see a product that is priced too good to be true – I stay away from it – however in this case, I am extremely surprised by the quality and workmanship of the unit. The engine sounds good (and quiet) while running. Starts easily. I hope to use it periodically for many years.

   I purchased this generator for an outdoor picnic/party. It was easy to set up, super easy to use and it performed without a glitch! It was easy to put on the wheel kit and I like that it came with a cover too. This product is well worth the money. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive generator that will provide certain satisfaction. Super happy with our Powermax!

   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, and I saw this on Amazon. 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.

   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.
