 "Get a Better Wheel Kit at Harbor Freight" 2010-01-31
By ZERB (Eliot, ME USA)
Purchased this unit, unpacked it and found no defects as written in previous reviews. Purchased a wheel kit from HARBOR FREIGHT [...]. It is designed for a 13 hp unit, so it is much more robust than the suggested wheel kit. The HARBOR FREIGHT kit is not an exact fit, but with drilling -4- holes in the generator frame, I find works extremely well supporting this 6.5 hp Blue Max generator.

 "Soft to run, hard to start" 2009-12-12
By Pavel Gurchenko
For the price I paid, it's OK, even taking in account that it's a Chinese product. Don't try to understand the manual, because it's been written by people who obviously don't have a good knowledge of English. I coined a word to describe such language: "Chinglish". After taking it out of the box, I have it filled with oil (10W30) and gas. I had to do some efforts in order to get the generator started. One pull wasn't enough. It started at the 9th or 10th try. The generator is, surprisingly, less noisy than other similar products and run smoothly with almost no pops and the generated voltage is highly stable. It's a good buy, although I regret I didn't choose a model with an electric start and wheels.

 "Great generator for the money" 2009-11-08
By Steve Rogers (Loudon,Tennessee)
Very dependable generator. I use it to run two 500 watt halogen lights,and a coffee maker for early morning flea market set ups. This means hauling it in a pickup bed over sometimes bumpy roads. It has never had a hiccup. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the gas tank lid doesn't totally seal and will leak with a full tank. Also there is a leak around the fuel gauge when the tank is full and sloshing. I will probably change gaskets and see if that solves the problem. Not a big issue but one worth noting just for the safety factor. I would recommend this generator to anyone for medium duty use.

 "I got a lemon and have to eat it!" 2009-10-26
By J. Showalter (Columbus, OH United States)
I needed a generator as a back-up power supply in case of power outages at my home. I purchased a Blue Max 4000 several months ago, took it out of the box, and got it running. I was pleased with its quiet operation and it seemed to be working fine. I shut it off and put it away until I needed it a few months later. Again, it started well and worked fine--at first. But after about 15-20 minutes, it quit producing power. This is how it always works: it runs great for a few minutes and produces power perfectly, then suddenly the voltmeter goes to zero and there's no power. Since by the time I discoverd this it was too late to return it to Amazon, and I knew shipping it back would be costly anyway, I tried to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. I figured it was a simple loose wire somewhere or something, but eventually I was told by an electric motor shop that for it to act like it does it must have a short in the generator windings, and the generator itself will need to be replaced. I'm doubtful I can find that part without paying almost the cost of a whole new unit. So I guess I'm left with a totally worthless generator. I would discourage anyone from buying this generator, since you might have the same bad experience I have had.

By K. Oleary (Detroit, MI)
This product was in good condition when it arrived. Only problem was there was no instruction book. Called Amazon and they gave me a phone number which nobody ever answers. My only solution now is to repackage the generator, not easy for a single women as it is quite heavy, and send it back to Amazon for an exchange. I am not happy about the fact that there is no way to contact the maker of the product.

 "EF2000is review - high quality and very quiet" 2009-11-14
By trisailor (CT, USA)
I have had this for about a month. This is a very high quality unit, nicely designed. I chose it over the Honda Eu2000i because it has a fuel gage and is a hair lighter (2 pounds), and liked the styling better. Specs are so close it's a tie... the Yamaha unit specs a bit quieter in "eco" throttle but the Honda specs a bit quieter at full power. Prior to this purchase I had bought a Honeywell inverter generator (a much less expensive Chinese-made knock-off) from Costco which I returned, because I was unimpressed with the Honeywell unit's quality and noise level. While the price difference is major, you get what you pay for in this case. Anyone looking at the cheaper knock-offs should really consider that a 5db increase in noise level is about twice as loud, the way humans perceive it.



The most impressive thing about this unit is how quiet it is. Even at full engine speed you can stand about 6 feet away and have a normal conversation without raising your voice, or talk on a cell phone without undue distraction. It features an "eco" setting which tapers down the engine throttle and noise when full load isn't required. At half-throttle or less, from about 6 feet away it is about half as loud and amazingly quiet. I used it to run a 50-amp 12v battery charger and at full charge level the charger only required the generator to operate at about half-speed, and when the charger tapered down the charge level to under 30-amps the generator became so quiet I literally forgot about it. It is MUCH quieter than my boat's inboard diesel engine, and more efficient than running the main engine just to top off the batteries. I also used it to power a heavy duty 120v grinder and it had no problems supplying the needed power, even on electric motor start-up.



I got this mainly for charging our boat's batteries at anchor but I also wanted the ability to run power tools. The lighter 1000-watt inverter generators could easily handle the charging application but not the more power-hungry tools. Having the extra power also means the eco-throttle will likely kick in earlier and the unit will operate quieter. The number-1 purchase criteria was "quiet" because I don't want to be distracted by incessant noise or be a bad neighbor in anchorages. The Honeywell was not quiet enough in my opinion.



An appeal to other boaters and to campers: Please don't settle for "cheap". Get a better quality inverter-generator unit that's quieter so you minimize noise pollution in get-away places. (Leave your "contractors generator" at home!!!) Also, please be considerate of neighbors and limit running it to times/places you aren't as likely to disturb others... and don't leave your boat or campsite while it runs and runs. We all like our electric conveniences, but if you really need 120v power more or less constantly; you should stay home or get a dock/parking space where you can plug into "the grid". It's rude to disturb others who are trying to get away to find some peace and quiet. If generators are abused it will lead to regulations banning them.



Negative: The unit ships without engine oil, so you need to buy a quart of standard 4-stroke engine oil and fill it. You will also need a funnel, and a pan to catch excess oil. There is no dipstick; you need to fill to the level of the bottom of the filler hole until any more runs out. It uses less than 3/4 quart. I think they should have included the required amount of oil, and a plastic filler container with a spout, marked to show the proper amount of oil to use.

 "Solid Generator" 2008-12-22
By J. Wojewidka (CA)
I've owned one of these for about two years. We live in a rural area east of Seattle, and the winters have been getting worse each year. Right after a very bad storm that left us without power for nearly a week, I found this at a local Costco. It is very heavy, but easy to assemble the few parts not already attached (like the wheels and handles). It is better, though, to have someone help out, and *make sure* you're not doing this in the dark when it's raining or snowing! It's that wiper blade syndrome.



The operation is all pretty straight-forward. Check the oil, fill it with gas, go through the starting sequence. You have to remember, though, to always turn the fuel valve just underneath the tank to the "on" position (and turn it to off when you're done), and to pull the choke out before you use the pull starter (and to push it back in when it's running smoothly, which isn't long at all).



I would have given this five stars, but for a few of things that are related to operating it, not to its ability to deliver the goods. Product designers, take note: 1) The pull starter isn't real hard to use, but in a bit of an awkward place making you pull it with your body just a little twisted, 2) mine didn't come with a battery for the key-starter feature and that battery has proven to be hard to locate (still don't have one since the pull-start is "good enough"), 3) it is noisy, so I located mine behind a small utility shed 50 feet from the house - not so bad, now, but don't ask my neighbor what she thinks about it, 4) most gas cans aren't that sophisticated, so the location of the filler hole for the gas has to make up for it - and it doesn't. I've spilled a little gas over the top of the tank each time. It really should be closer to the edge, making it easier to sneak a full can's spout into the hole, and keeping that gas away from the hot stuff after it's been running, 5) there should be a "1-2-3" placard on the outside of this in a very visible place showing how to start it up. We use it a 2-3 times a year (maybe more, now), but simply don't keep that stuff in our heads, and shouldn't have to. My wife, in particular, could use that...and that battery I can't find.



Other than that, it's solid, reliable, runs for over ten hours on a full tank, and provides enough power to handle the refrigerator, a couple of small oil-filled heaters, a pretty big TV/cable box/speakers and the phone system/internet. You have to turn off something to run a microwave if all that stuff is running, but this thing didn't cost $3K, either. Oh, and the fabulous yellow color makes it easy to find in a snowstorm or cat-5 hurricane.

 "All Power 1000 watt generator" 2009-08-17
By J. Sadowski (Howell,Mi.)
Well, It ain't no HONDA. Had a problem keeping it running for over 5 minutes at a time. After about 30 restarts with and without a cool down it would run about 15 minutes. Afew more tries the next day and it was running OK. Maybe just a quirky breakin procedure? It starts with only one or two pulls. Noise, states same as Honda at 59 decibels. They must use a different scale in China! Not bad but noticeably louder. For the $315. I paid not a bad little unit as long as it stays running.

I purchased this portable generator to use with a cold-air balloon for an event. In a nutshell, the generator did not work.

While this particular generator may be defective, it was brand new.

 "Excellent So Far" 2009-09-22
By W. Raley (NH USA)
I bought this generator to have as an emergency battery charger run through our Xantrex inverter/charger aboard our cruising sailboat. I also wanted to have portable power for low power hand power tools without taking from the ship's battery bank. I wasn't sure if it would run my very fussy, electronically controlled Bosch saber saw because that saw won't run off our on board Xantrex inverter even though computers and other electronics work fine from from the on board 120v power. The Bosch runs perfectly off of the Honeywell 1000i: it must produce a true sign wave output.



It is shipped without oil, so I added the prescribed amount with the little spouted oil container provided (very handy for our 4 stroke 9.8 hp outboard too), added gas, and gave a pull. She started on the third pull and ran smooth and quieter than my old Honda 1000 watt generator. On subsequent tries both hot and cold, she started on the first pull.



I have one minor complaint: there is no dipstick to check the oil level; you have to get the unit exactly level, remove the screw holding the back cover and eyeball the oil filler hole. Of course it does have a low oil level automatic shutoff, but who wants to rely on an emergency shutoff to monitor the oil level?

 "ok... if it works" 2009-09-19
By Ryo Chijiiwa (California, USA)
I bought this generator to charge a 12V deep-cycle AGM battery using a 40 Amp charge controller. For that, this generator works just fine, although it's a lot louder than I expected.



I'm giving it two stars because the particular unit I got failed after less than 10 hours of usage. I had it running, and went away for a couple of hours, and when I came back, it had stopped. The oil level was low, so I added some oil, but it simply wouldn't start. I checked everything the manual tells you to check, with no success. I pulled out the spark plug to see if there was a spark, but there didn't appear to be, so the electrical system might've failed. I took it to an authorized mechanic, and hopefully will find out exactly what happened.



The bottom line is, if you're buying a generator, you're probably using it in a situation where you need to be able to depend on your gear. I found that I couldn't depend on this generator, so I'm giving it two stars. If I could do it again, I'd probably look for a used Honda EU 1000i or 2000i.
