All for car recovery

I was looking for a generator for emergencies and for camping. The DuroMax by PowerMax is that unit. I read the other reviews and followed their recommendations. When it was delivered, only 6 days after I placed the order, I examined the box, it was in good shape, as was the generator. The only problem I had was the yellow plastic oil dip stick had fallen out and the threads were a little missed up. I called the number on the instructions to request a new oil dip stick. Their reprehensive helped me and I had a new dip stick within 72 hours. Received generator, opened box, found control Panel broken. Could not return item, box was not smashed or showed damage, then shipper was out as cause. Not sure if damage occured before shipping just sure it was not after. Beware of product, it cost me 0.00 to get the control panel repaired. Also battery would not start unit had to pull start it.

I bought this to power our camper while we were at the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival. They have NO hookups.I borrowed a 1500 watt last year, & it would not handle the A/C on our camper.This worked GREAT. I read one review that it arrived in bad shape. Mine arrived in perfect shape. It was well packed, with plenty of thick foam packing. It had 2 packing braces that had to be removed.Most reviews complain about being a pain putting oil in it. I simply tipped on its side & used a small funnel.After adding oil, I filled with gas, put choke on, turned the key, & it fired right up. Runs like a champ.The electric start is great.A little heavy, takes 2 people to lift it into the truck. Not as quiet as a Honda. But at half the price,it is easy to compromise.There was a 3000i Honda at the festival that hardly made any noise, but I'm sure it was over 2000 dollars.Fairly quiet.For the price & the fetchers it cant't be beat,especially when their is no tax & no shipping.Can't say anything bad, for the price.

Pros: Well packed. Following instructions easy to unpack and assemble. Not...
