Ends 10/27 at 8AM PT. eBay with MaxTool has the DuroMax XP4400E 4400-Watt Portable Gas Power Generator for $300 with free shipping. Features air-cooled 196cc 7HP DuroMax engine, low-oil shutoff, EZ-Pull recoil start, four gallon tank, and includes a wheel and handle kit.
Anyone have one of these? Where are the engines made? easy to find parts? Is it super noisy? 3 bills with electric start / 4400 watt is a pretty darn good deal.
These are Chinese garbage! I got one a year ago and oil pours out of it. The head was warped so bad that the gasket is loose. You canot get replacment parts or service anywhere.
I have a Champion model of this same Chinese engine. It has preformed admirably the times that I've needed it keeping the lights on and the fridge cold. Engine noise is average - not too loud but not very quite either. Similar to a push mower. Yeah, there are high quality generators (Honda, etc) out there but you'll pay at least 4x more. For me, the low cost option works since it rarely gets used and does it's job.
bait and switch price, 399 @ ebay.

I bought this in July when it was on sale for $300. I'll let you know next week how it performs unless we get lucky and don't lose power.
If there's one thing I DON'T need it's a gas generator.
Cows generate methane gas.
They need to make one that runs off wood from my neighbor's trees.
