Solid backup generator...with quirks
2 of 2 found this helpful Bought because main generator in my RV needs major engine repair and parts might be slow in coming.
The DuroMax DS4000S/3300w generator is very solid. Included tools are of marginal use as you need a lot more leverage than these small wrenches affords. No biggie, have plenty of tools to handle the few bolts needing loosening or removal.
Oil filling is a challenge but included funnel & clear tubing make it easier. Problem is the fill hole is at the very bottom area si if generator is on floor/ground it is challenging for sure. Then when you remove tube oil WILL flow out until you get plug/dipstick back in place.
I'll confirm you should change the oil several times during the first 20-25hrs operation. The first in order to help clear out any metal bits in engine left over from manufacturing. It also gets dirty fast. So pay attention to everything the owner's manual mentions. Baby it and I'm betting you'll get years of reliable use.
Now, the oh so "special" act of changing the oil. PUT GENERATOR ON BENCH THEN IN BLOCKS or you will have no way to drain oil into a dish or whatever. I'm going to find a bit of tubing to give additional working room. If you can't put it up higher to access find a low dish to hold about 20oz of used oil.
Those are not short comings just gottchas needing attention. Starting can't be easier. Started first pull then every pull. Just don't work to hard or try to pull really forcefully as if it won't start right away you missed closing the choke, opening fuel valve, turning on the actual engine button on the front. But an easy start for sure, at least so far.
It's not really heavy at about 110lbs with fuel & oil. Easier to pick up thanks to it's cage. Consider adding wheels & handle kit. I learned that at my age now 100lbs is MUCH heavier than it used to be. Did gravity increase?
Electrical connections on front are, not great. The standard 20A/120v receptacles are, well, crappy. The vibration of generator will slowly push any plug out. So consider using the L5-30 three prong twist locking receptacle instead. Plus that is the full 30A connection if plugging your RV in directly.
Sound is fair. Not super quiet but not high pitched obnoxious loud either. A bit of distance and a couple boards to strategically baffle & deflect the sound waves will make it effectively quieter.
Were i to buy again with another $100-$150 in my budget, i paid $229+tax, i would look at the E4400 model instead. Still this is a no regret purchase. It's going to be a backup, gives me about 50% of electricity my 6.6Kw generator produces. I can yse convection/microwave oven or one rooftop A/C unit plus keep house batteries charged. What more could I ask for?

Great Feel fits perfectly
1 of 1 found this helpful Been though too many phones and cases to count. This is the first case that actually makes my phone feel better in my hand.
Rubber section locations were well thought out. The hard outer shell covers a rubber layer. Put together the phone feels solid and well protected. More importantly the buttons are exposed so you can find them W/o looking.
Wonderful case for a sleeper of a great phone.
