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.

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.

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 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.

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.
