- very satisfied
- I just received my generator a few weeks ago. It was shipped earlier than listed, that's a plus. When I took it out of it's packaging and installed the wheels all I did was add oil and a little gas to see if it worked okay. It started up with the very first pull. I could not believe it. I ran an extention cord to my new refrigerator ( a 25.5 cu.ft) plugged it in and no drop on the amps at all. Haven't had to run it since, which is okay because I only bought it as a back up in case we have another power failure like we did that brought on the floods. So far a great value for the dollar.

- Good generator, poor packaging sets this up for damage.....
- After reading the reviews here, I decided that this generator was a good deal. I read many reviewers comments about receiving generators damaged during shipping. Mine arrived damaged as well, but I do not blame this on Fedex or Amazon. I put the blame squarely on the company (Homier?....) that decides to put a 100lb item in a cardboard box without a styrofoam shell. My damage included a bent cage and a cracked cast housing that supports the engine and bolts to the rubber motor mount. I was a able to negotiate with Amazon and was compensated for this damage since the generator runs fine. I fabricated my own wheel kit and will fix the damage to the motor mount myself.
Most buyers will choose to get a replacement or full refund, this makes sense as well.
After adding oil, the generator started up easily and I ran a 1300W tool off the generator to test its output. I cannot attest to the long term performance of this generator. - 2008-07-07, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- great generator but horrible instruction
- i got this generator few days ago, i'm having problem with the engine sputtering, more specifically the choke lever. i called the manufacture and homier and can not get a respond. it looks like a good generator; i don't want to send it back to amazon.

- Great Value
- I bought this generator in the fall of 2007, set it up and stuck it away in a corner of the garage. I don't even think I put stabil in it. We had a power outage 2 weeks ago that lasted a couple days. The generator started right up, ran the fridge, lights, and tv. The food in the fridge cost more than the generator, so at this point since using it in the power outage, its paid for its self. Good unit, reliable, everything works, no damage in shipping. Great price.

- Blue Max 4000 watt Generator
- The first arrived with hidden damage. Amazon.com arranged for pickup and delivered a replacement in 6 days. No hassle!
The generator was easy to have up and running and for the price will do everything it needs to do.
We purchased this as a replacement for a 19 year old generator. It will be used in case of a Hurricane. I feel much more secure having it. The added wheel kit makes moving it very easy. - 2008-07-02, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
