4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, October 22, 2007
This review is from: Blue Max GEN 4000 4,000 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
First off, it's really 2800-3000 watts continuous. Jaingdong model JD3000. It uses a Jaingdong JF200 6.5 hp motor which is an excellent clone of the Honda OHV engine (licensed from Honda). It is smooth, quiet, and best of all pretty fuel efficient for a gasoline powered generator. The generator is brushless and therefore really has nothing to wear out other than bearings.
That's the good stuff...
Unfortunately, the Chinese pedigree does show in a few places. The fuel gauge never worked on mine. The electrical components (circuit breaker, meter, etc) seem kind of crude, but have held up OK in use so far.

I've owned this generator for almost two years now and it probably has about 40 hours of runtime. It had no trouble keeping us going during several power outages, the longest of which was about 30 hours. It ran an oil furnace, refrigerator, TV/DVD Player, and a few lights with no problem. The output voltage and frequency does not sag under load. I feel it is sized... Read more

This review is from: Blue Max GEN 4000 4,000 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
After much thought and research, I opted for this generator for limited use. I wouldn't use it much, mostly for emergencies, but also for an annual outdoor event. Since I'd use it rarely, it had to be affordable and in fact, I was looking for: 1. Affordable 2. Quiet 3. Output capacity. In that order. While output capacity may normally be the most important, this was an "emergency" generator and in an emergency I would expect to have to make sacrifices. Additionally, it had enough capacity to power what I wanted it to at special events. This fit the bill, in that it was the cheapest generator I had found. It wasn't supposed to be as quiet as the higher end quiet generators, but at the reduced price, that wasn't surprising. But it was supposed to be a little more quiet than many of the older generation generators and some of the newer ones. And it had all the capacity I needed for my project.

First, the generator arrived well ahead of the expected delivery date... Read more

This review is from: Blue Max GEN 4000 4,000 Watt 6.5 HP OHV Gas Powered Generator (Lawn & Patio)
Just used this generator for the first time during a power outage. It started first pull and ran through the night without refueling. We ran it for the entire outage which was about 24 hours straight. I stopped it three times for fuel and oil (it used a little oil during the first 12 hours but it was probably due to break-in). The 4KW surge is great to start the fridge and freezer. It's relatively quiet, and seemed to run for about 7 hours on one tank. Can't beat it for the money.

UPDATE: 2 years later it's still going strong. Couldn't be happier.
