9/25/20- First Review- Set Up and Initial Break In Runs
After a few days of delay I finally got this unit unboxed and put together. My sweet wife helped with the set up process all the way. Two people definitely made it easier. It weighs about 135 lbs so an extra set of hands were very welcome. The removal of the metal and wood shipping braces went as expected. If you have your own hand tool set I recommend using them as the factory supplied wrenches were a little light weight for the job. You could get the job done with what was supplied but my own DIY tools made it a breeze. The tires are firm [not air filled] and they work well in wheeling the generator around the garage. No complaints. Added the recommended oil and gas. It started right up and ran well. Only 15 minutes during first run. It is quiet for a generator and we can barley hear it inside the house when its running. Per recommendations instead of using the key to turn it off I turned off the gasoline supply and let the motor die by its own accord. Let it set for about 45 minutes, turned on the gas and it again fired right up. Next run was an hour followed again by cutting the fuel supply. No runs, no drips at all during both runs. Its a clean machine for me. Happy with this purchase! Will update as time and run times increase. Honestly, I hope I never have to use it for real. We do live in the mountains and winter is a tough time for people and continual electric service. The deer in the front yard didn't care a wit that the generator was running. I took that as the Deer Seal of Approval for this DuroMax!
11/13/20- UPDATE! We had our first big Fall storm overnight. Power went off at 2am and stayed off until 4pm. This generator ran perfectly and provided ample power to run what was needed during the outage. Started right up and ran like a champ. Wife and I appreciated having electricity when no one else apparently did. Fuel usage was miserly as well which was a big bonus too. Ran the well pump and all of the lights and appliances never missing a beat. I'm always a little cautious with any new generator. This one has proven itself today! Recommend to all if you need a great portable generator ... this is one for serious consideration. Happy campers here this evening.

Poor delivery
Great product, but delivery was horrible! Was delivered a day early, my gate was locked, and they still delivered outside my locked gate on roadside. How the generator lasted 6hrs on the side of pur busy street just proves there is a God!
