Summary: 4 Stars
For the most part I am happy with this generator. MaxTools shipped a XP4400E with electric start. It seems to do the job. However, it has 2 glitches that need to be noted. The fuel guage window has become more and more opaque over the short 3 months that I have owned the generator. The plastic used in the gauge window is obviously not fuel vapor resistant- However, I can live with this. One other note- The fuel line turn-off valve (the one below the tank) leaks slightly when in the "flow on" position. (note- I replaced it under warranty-had to pay shipping on the valve, however). Other than these two items- It works just great and the price was absolutely right.
2009 update- After running the generator on five different occasions in 2008-2009 during power outages, one lasting 18 hours, I feel compelled to update my opinion of this generator. The starter key switch failed on the starting motor in early 2009, so I have had to pull start the unit. Although the unit seems to produce reliable power, it keeps having little irritating problems- seems as if no one qc'd the generator before it was shipped.
Customer Review: Reasonably priced generator
Summary: 4 Stars
This generator design is common to several manufacturers. I purchased two of this particular model after experience with the same design from a different manufacturer. Positive aspects: good Japanese carburetor, fuel/water separator, easily cleanable fuel filter, engine starts easily. Negative aspects: poor quality owner's manual, surface rust on a new(!) product, one generator was improperly packed for shipping, some of the warning labels were written by non-English writers (they're actually funny), no warranty information (and no response from Max Tools when I inquired). I'm not certain about the two-stage air filter (both elements are foam) -- in my experience, foam filters eventually disintegrate.
If you're looking for a reasonably priced Chinese generator that appears to be fairly reliable, then this is probably it.
Customer Review: very quiet!
Summary: 4 Stars
Received the generator & when we started it up I was amazed at how quiet it was. Our previous generator was much smaller & the whole neighborhood knew when we cranked it up! This one is large but since we do not haul it around it works very well for us. Good value, very reasonably priced.
