If you have ever lost electrical power at home or needed electricity at the cabin, lake, etc, then you know the importance of having a good portable power generator on hand. The DuroMax by PowerMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator may be exactly what you are looking for.

The first thing you’ll notice with the DuroMax XP4400E is that it is an electric key start. No more having to pull the cord and strain your back. Once running, the 6.5 HP OHV engine is very quiet for its size (69 dB), which is another plus.

Power output with the DuroMax is 3500 Watts continuous and 4400 Watts surge. It will run at 50% power for up to 8 hours and also features a low oil shutdown to prevent catastrophic damage to the generator. There is a 4 gallon fuel tank that takes standard gasoline.

The most important thing to do with this generator, or any other generator for that matter, is to change the oil on a regular basis. The overwhelming cause of generators being ruined is due to not changing the oil. I’d recommend changing it after the first 8 hours of use and then again every 20-25 hours after that. If you’ll maintain the oil you will get a lifetime of use out of almost any generator on the market.

This PowerMax generator is both EPA and CARB approved.

If you need a reliable and well built portable power generator, this unit does not disappoint. You can find out more by going to their website at DuroMax by PowerMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator
