5.0 out of 5 stars Worked like a charm during IAN
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023
I am sure glad I bought this back in May of 2022. (My wife thinks I am prophetic) Everything went together without any issues, bought a rain cover for it and a couple of 100 lb propane tanks, plus had an electrician come out and put in a manual switch on my fuse panel. He installed a trickle charger for the battery on the generator and I was all set. Then came Ian. We lost power about 6 hours into the storm and then for like 5 more days before the power came back. I only ran it during the day and shut it down at night and went through the 2 100 Lb propane tanks and was using a small 25 lb tank and only had one left. Didn't need it, power came back on. I ran it behind my garage where it was mostly out of the wind and rain. This generator worked like a charm. Started every time with no issues. I did have to add more oil but that was no big deal.
Today I decided to run the generator (I will only use propane in this generator and would only put gas in in it for an extreme emergency) and notice the trickle charger was flashing and telling me it wasn't charging the battery. Did some trouble shooting, battery was dead no voltage, trickle charger worked on the car battery and my car battery charger would not charge the generator battery. Wasn't sure if the warranty covered the battery but when I called DuraMax Customer support and talked to Anthony Bustos he said he just needed the receipt which I emailed him. Less than 10 minutes on the phone with Anthony he did all the paperwork and said I would have my new battery in 5-10 days. Super nice guy and super GREAT service. Thank You Anthony and DuroMax!

This works great. The push button start is awesome, and the 50 amp outlet makes connecting to my panel easy

5.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!

Just put this unit together, it wouldn't start. Spent hours trouble shooting what the problem could be, called the DuroMax folks and spent hours on the phone - doing mechanical checking that should have been done before the unit was shipped. Bottom line, DuroMax determined the carburetor is bad, and they are sending us another one, at which time we can take the unit and new carburetor to an engine repair place in a neighboring town. Only problem with this is we are in our 70's and there is no way in hell we can load this thing, go and pick it back up (if and when it can be repaired) and get it back out of the truck when we get it home. DuroMax will only pay for the repair, the cost of getting it to the repair shop is on us.

UPDATE - DuroMax fixed this problem and now we are happy we purchased this unit!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent piece of equipment at a great value!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023
I was looking at 8 to 10 KW generators, but saw this 13k on Amazon for hundreds less than some other places, so bought it and we are very happy with it.
We only run it on propane (since we have 2 150 gallon tanks for the house anyway). No messing with gasoline gumming up the carburetor, or fuel going bad.
It is quite noisy, but our cord is long enough that we can move it to the far side of the garage, so noise inside the house is minimal. Neighbors might not be that happy about the noise, but they are several hundred feet away anyways.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Generator Is An Absolute Beast!
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022
I have been looking for a long time to replace my 1995 Champion 5250 Watt Generator, although it served me well for a lot of years, and did a pretty good job of powering most of my house, I was looking to get a whole house generator that would cover everything, but they are really expensive. Then I ran across this thing. I probably over the course of weeks and months put this generator in my cart 20 times, but could never bring myself to buy it, it's not cheap. When Amazon dropped the price a bit and offered 12 monthly payments it was a no brainer and I bought it (without letting my wife know of course), I use the "ask forgiveness not permission" ideology.

With that it showed up exactly when they said it would and the box looked perfect, but I asked the delivery person if I could open the box and inspect for damage before I accept it. The delivery person was very accommodating, and there was not a scratch on it, so I started on the assembly process. Super easy, but you do need to flip it upside down to remove the shipping brace and install the wheels, so if you you are not able to flip over a 250 or so pound generator yourself, plan on drafting a helper and make sure you use the cardboard from the box or a blanket to you don't scratch this thing up.

This generator does not come with oil, so plan on having some on hand. After flipping it back over installed the handles, connected the battery (you will need an 8mm socket to remove the bolts for the battery cover) it does not come in the toolkit. Also what does not come in the toolkit is a 12mm socket or wrench for the oil drain plug so plan accordingly. After filling with 10w30 oil (non synthetic for break in), I put in some gas, turned on the battery switch, pushed the start button, and it started right up! No issues whatsoever.

I ran it through a break in period for about 2 1/2 hours only pulling a light load on and off, and then changed the oil. The oil had metallic particles in it as was expected for break in, I then put in new oil and ran it for another 3 1/2 hours and repeated the process of changing the oil. This time it was pretty clean. At that point I refilled with 10w30 Synthetic oil.

Now that I did the initial break in, I switched over to propane, opened the valve, pushed the button and once again it started right up! No issues whatsoever. I plan on doing 1 more oil change after another 5 hours of runtime.

Now for the bad. When I tested the idle controller switch it did nothing. That really bugged me, so the next day I started troubleshooting, and discovered the actuator that is activated by the idle control solenoid was bent, most likely happened during assembly. I bent it back, and although it now moved, it did not drop the idle because the adjustment screw was not adjusted correctly on the actuator. After getting it adjusted correctly, when I activated the switch again, it dropped the idle down so far that the engine shut down. I then needed to adjust the idle screw in order to fix that issue. This was no issue for me to fix, but not everyone can, which would result in endless phone calls, or even returning this thing. Will I ever use the idle control switch? No way, at least not when hooked up to my house. Pretty much everything in your house has a circuit board, and when the generator senses a load it comes back up to speed, quickly, and could cause a power surge that could damage one of your appliances.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase, and at this point I would buy it again and recommend it to others. It is extremely well built. Duramax put a lot of effort into this machine and it shows. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the issue with the idle control should have been discovered on final inspection. This issue was caused during assembly not during shipping or anything else. Had I not been able to fix this myself, it would have turned into a major hassle.

One final thought. Not sure why they didn't use a magnetic oil drain plug. I plan on getting one for my next oil change to catch any metal floating around in there. just one more thing you can do to keep this thing running for a long time!
