I purchased this Powermax 4400/3500 gen set a few years ago to keep at home for emergencies and whenever needed. I stumbled onto this thread and was intrigued by the interest and discussions on these size generators. I have not read all of them, just the more recent ones. I was wondering how this model compares to the Champions and others and if anyone has any experiences with the Powermax generators. It has the 6.5 hp engine. It does not have the 30 amp RV plug in. I may use this one for my TT sometime when dry camping and charging batteries is necessary and noise is not a problem. -Lee
I'm not sure who builds the PowerMax but suspect it might be Jiang Dong, one of the largest small engine builders in China.
The question is not how good it is, but what kind of support you have if problems occur and you need parts. The engines are pretty much the same, the innards of the generator can vary considerably. Thus, geting engine parts from another company, such as Champion, is possible. But getting parts for the alternator is a different story as they are not generally interchangeable.
John Austin and I did discover a Champion AVR would work on his DuroPower even though they look entirely different. That is most likely the extent of interchangeably of alternator parts.
