    • Plan ahead for the needed extras. Read the Manual
Style: 12,000-Watt Dual Fuel
It arrived on time by truck. The delivery couple had trouble with their lift gate and dropped it- almost slowly- over the side of the back of the truck. No apparent harm though. Some of the welding of the frame is a bit substandard. - The tool kit that it comes with isn't enough to set it up. You'll need other metric tools or adjustable wrenches. - The hardware list of nut and bolt sizes they enclose isn't accurate. I used 8, 10, 13, 15 mm and larger wrenches for the job. Attaching the axle stubs involved a 3/4 in for the nut and an 11/16 wrench to hold tight against. - The tires are hard foam. Pneumatic would be better. I found them at Harbor Freight on sale at $4 each. There is no wear washer, so they rub on the cotter pin. You need one with a 5/8th in center hole. The axles are 5/8 inch diameter. - The manual says to flip the unit over to work on the base. Use the piece of foam in the box to flip the top of the generator onto it. You do not have to, you could put it on blocks and do the work. Getting it out of the box by turning it over is easy if you are strong enough. - Remove the wood block that's cable tied on one end of the frame. There were two red/orange metal braces to remove also near the motor mounts on the other end. - Turn it back over before you put on the carry handles, then install them. It rolls pretty easily with the handles on. - Remove the plate over the battery location below the controls. The battery on mine was all but fully charged. Getting the negative terminal on is tricky. It BARELY reaches the post. You have to undo the bolt fully and then position the locking nut in the terminal post, holding it up to the bolt as you try to catch the threading. Use the tool kit screwdriver for this- it flips from flat to Phillips- slide it under the locking nut and push up. - They tell you to ground the generator with a 12 awg piece of wire ( not supplied ). They show you where to hook up the ground on the control panel, but give no clues as to how much of a ground pole you need to use for it. I'm going to use a spare hunk of copper pipe. - You add 1 and 1/4 quarts of oil to the engine. The oil funnel provided does help some but the hose on it is a bit short. Pour slowly. - With the switch OFF, I pulled the manual starter cord 5 or 6 times to lubricate the motor up so it was not dry. - Main breaker OFF, nothing connected to power plugs. Make sure the gasoline line is OFF to run on propane. This generator can't change fuel supply while running, you have to shut it down to switch fuels. I'm not fond of all that gasoline directly above the hot unit, so I will be running propane as the normal source of fuel which can be kept -away- from the exhaust end of the generator and out of the heat. A remotely tanked gasoline option, like used on an outboard motor, would be a nice alteration to this system especially if you want it in an enclosure as I intend to do. - I hooked up the propane. A regular 20 pound tank worked fine. I went and bought a 40 pounder to run as the supply. Others have talked about setting the choke at about 1/2 way to start on propane. Yes, that works but there is no fixed half choke position, you do this by feel. It will take a few turns of the motor to start as it needs to purge the air out of the line before it gets propane. Once it starts, set the choke to OFF and it runs smoothly. Let it run a couple minutes, then switch the breaker on, then you plug in based on largest load you need first. READ the manual!!! - The motor started up nicely and ran smoothly. It's not that noisy. The muffler is pretty good sized, and it's not too bad even directly below a bedroom window. - The manual is pretty good. But I saved other tips I got from reviews of this unit for operation. Breaker OFF, then Shut off your propane tank valve and let the engine die before you switch the key off. - They supply you with power plugs, no cables, and no instructions on how to use them or make your own cables. I bought pre made with multi outlets for the 30 and 40 amp outlets. They do not provide the 50 amp plug. I'll use the 50 amp outlet to tie into my home later on. - The manual does not provide any instructions about connection to a home for a main power supply backup, nor does it tell you what you need to have to do so. One of the reviews here gives you a part list of items to make a home connection. Last words: I have not put mine into real time use yet, but it is ready for it after buying the extra supplies you need to make use of it. It should be fine for the needs I want it to meet in an emergency, although I am sure it isn't as powerful as the stand alones you can buy - but is is a lot cheaper. ... show more

    • One star Mercedes - Five star Ford!
Style: 4,400-Watt Dual Fuel
I live 'off-the-grid' and needed a back-up generator for my primary one. In fact, I needed it really badly, as my primary unit's engine self-destructed. Although solar energy is one way in which I "make" electricity for my home, during the Pacific Northwest winters, there's just not a whole lot of Ol Sol to go around. Here I am in the middle of winter and my primary source of power has just died. I quickly researched available options and came to this little DuroMax generator. Reviews here, on Amazon (and through Home Depot, who also sells this brand), tended to be favorable, but there where a few really negative comments, resulting in lower ratings. I read them all and saw a common thread: The problems were related to quality control and end-user ignorance. The ignorance I could do nothing about, and had to dismiss a considerable percentage of those comments which stemmed from that issue. The quality control issues also seemed to have a common thread: poorly fitting this or that... these things tend to lead back to the end-user and either naivetΓ©, inexperience, ignorance or some combination of all three. Only a few reviews actually had component failure and those seemed to be satisfactorily resolved. One reviewer indicated an oil leak developed after the warranty was out, but the seller was working with him on that. Here's my experience: Ordered Thursday afternoon. Delivered Tuesday evening. Set up (30-45 minutes), start up (recoil) and run. Charged house batteries for two hours, turned off and went to bed. Woke up next morning, electric start, run, charge batteries (and run whole house) until ready for work.... shut down, come in and write review at work (on my break - no internet at home). It starts really easily (on LPG - I haven't tried gasoline yet, but have that in case one of my smaller LPG tanks runs out), runs quietly enough that the rain on my roof was louder than the generator. I may need to adjust the engine governor, as I get an overspeed indication on my inverter. Otherwise it performs like a champ! C'mon, people... look at the big picture: you're paying rock-bottom price for a unit assembled in China by workers who typically make less in a week than many of us make in an hour. Let's fairly assess the value of the unit: 1) The engine is a Honda 'clone', making 7 hp. It was probably reverse engineered in much the same manner as Ural motorcycles were reverse engineered from 1940s era BMWs. There's no R&D. There's no search for tiny modifications which will result in minor improvements. There's no re-tooling for newer versions and none of the intellectual overhead Honda has, but the engine is based upon a design which we know to work. Even with good maintenance, this engine will not likely last as long as the Honda upon which it was based, but at 1/3 the cost (or less) it can be replaced when needed (and Amazon sells the replacement engine!) 2) This is a dual fuel generator set, from the factory... no messy modifications. It is warranted for 2 years. If you modify (or purchase) a Honda generator retrofitted for use with LPG, you'll find that Honda will not honor the warranty on their product. 3) Noise level? I read reviews where people were complaining about how loud this unit is! I fired mine up and my wife didn't even know it was going! Go and listen to other generators before you complain that this one is loud! Compared to a Honda EU3000iS (MSRP: $1900+), this unit is louder, but is still not loud. Really.... if you want an analogy, buying this generator is like purchasing a base model Ford or Chevy and then complaining that it doesn't have fit and finish or run like a Mercedes or a Porsche. You have to look at it realistically. My Dad always said "You can't drink champagne on a beer pocketbook". While this may be a one star Mercedes, it's a five star Ford! Right now, this little guy IS my primary source of power, and it's looking very good. I'll update as things progress. UPDATE: I've now had this little jewel charging my batteries for over a month. It has NEVER failed to start. I've had three really minor issues... and two can be chalked up to operator error. 1) I have begun running the generator on gasoline, instead of LPG, because gas is actually cheaper than propane, right now. This little guy can run my refrigerator, freezer, well pump, washing machine and some lights (as well as other small appliances - TV, DVD player, etc) AND charge my batteries.... some of these things run simultaneously. It runs a looooonng time on a tank of fuel. The little fuel gauge on the tank, however, doesn't always work right. 2) Speaking of running all these things - I had it wired to run 120 volts off one leg of the 30 amp/240 volt outlet. The breaker kept popping. I then changed it to run off the 20 amp 120 volt outlet, and all is well with the world. Operator error. 3) I have (he said, embarrassed) had the opportunity to "test" the low oil shut-down. Needless to say, it works. Operator error.... again. SECOND UPDATE: The generator has been running every day since its arrival. Never a problem starting on either gasoline or LPG. One issue I've begun to notice, though: Since gasoline is currently still cheaper than LPG, that has been my fuel of choice; the issue I've noticed may - and may not - be related to running on gas. After the number of hours this has run (I estimate around 200 - no hour meter [note to DuroMax: a cheap hour meter might be a good idea for the next incarnation of this set]), the engine has now "broken in" and tends to run a little fast. As a result, the output shows "overspeed" on my inverter. I confirmed this by choking it down, a bit, and the error signal went away. I'll need to look at adjusting the run speed on the engine. Otherwise, it keeps chugging along! The Little Generator that Could! ... show more
