A pleasure to use. |
|
I used my Blue Max for the first time this weekend during a hunting trip at my camper.It was a pleasure to start,2 pulls, and talk about quite I had it chained to the bumper of my camper and could barely hear it inside! When the refridgerator compressor cycled it barely changed tone. I ran it for 2 nights with no problems and never ran it out of gas. Great buy for the money. |

Arrived Broken |
|
Unfortunately it arrived broken and they didn't have another to replace it with. They did offer a refund but it was just the case broken and offered a partial refund if I kept it and fixed it. I am a mechanic so I decided to fix it. I hope it turns out ok. The box did not appear damaged in any way so if you get one try and open it immediately. |

Blue Max Review |
|
We received the generator in timely fashion. The shipping people had handled it very roughly, so that there were various plastic pieces that had broken off. However, the generator runs beautifully and easily and I would recommend it to anyone. Marketadvisory made the breakage right with a discount and I am well pleased with this purchase. |

Well designed |
My old 2800 genset voltage regulator quit working so I bought the Max. I have read all the reviews and was aware of the shipping damage problems.
I received the unit by UPS and there was no damage. The box was intact and good shape. I unpacked the unit and installed the dolly wheels (install wheels before filling oil and gas. The dolly kit was not great but ok. Be sure to thread the nuts on all bolts and brackets as most have paint on threads and very difficult to screw on. Also, some of the bolts threads are messed up and need to be run through a grinder to clean up threads.
When you install the handle brackets, be sure to mount the handle hole below the cage bar. Then handle will work fine. Be sure order the dolly kit as the genset is heavy and hard to handle.. The dolly kit is cheaper than any others out there...
After the dolly was installed, I filled up the oil. Oil takes about 1/2 qt. You must use a flex funnel. Be sure to keep the genset level otherwise you can put too much oil in it.
I put some gas in it. Now before you start engine (switch off) pull the engine through to lubricate the engine and make sure that engine turns over smoothly..
Switch on,,choke engaged, engine started in one pull. Choke off and engine reved up to speed. I used a "Kill-a-Watt" meter (Marketadvisory)to check voltage, frequency and power load. The genset checked out ok. Voltage was right on 120V and 60 cycles.
You best have the Kill-a-Watt meter when using Gensets. Best checkout power outputs before you plug an expensive frig or freezer into genset. Also the meter will show the actual Watts being used.
The Max had no damage from shipping other than a small dent on the bottom of the frame. I think this was done at the factory as box showed no damage...
My old genset (2800W) look like it was made in the factory. It is just scaled down from the Max.
One problem I ran into with old genset was that the fuel shutoff value on gas tank has a gasket that swelled and restricted fuel flow and caused a surging of the engine. I drilled out brads of the valve took it apart and fixed the gasket. I drilled out the brads and replaced them self taping metal screws. Worked great. The Max uses the same gas shut off as other genset. So expect a problem might pop up with valve.
Don't know about long term use as havent had to use it yet. But what I am reading on the reviews is that it is pretty good...
All in All the Genset was a very good buy (be sure to get the dolly)[[ASIN:B00009MDBU P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor]Marketadvisory] is also very important. Marketadvisory shipping was very good and timely... With the way the world is going, I am thinking about buying another one. |

Blue Max 4000 |
|
Ordered the Blue Max 4000 and when I received was surprised to find out it wasn't truly a 4000 watt generator. Added gas and noted that the fuel gauge does not work. Added oil and the engine started right up and ran flawlessly. Does a good job of supplying power for my power tools. Just disappointed it is not what I really wanted. Will keep it though.
