The Powermax brand is one that is sold by MaxTool.com. About 2 years ago, I bought one of the 3500 watt/4400 watt surge models with electric start for $379 plus tax. Went to Los Angeles from San Diego to pick it up, spent $50 in gas, round trip - saved on shipping.
To sum it up, fired up on first try, forgot to do the 'break-in' period, still gave me Yeoman service! :) It's downfall with me was,
I do light welding with a 120 volt MIG and it would trip the breaker on one side about every 3rd-4th time I'd pull the trigger, as it did not have a 120 volt switch to put both fields into phase for full current, nor did it have a 30 amp 3 prong twist lock outlet. That REALLY was the only problem, underpowered on the 120 side because of it. Sold it to a hispanic fellow at a car wash we frequent who had a mobile car detailing biz on the side that he was setting up.
Now I'm out for the Champion C41365 that Prof95 referenced in one of
his posts. No worries about being underpowered with that beast! LOL!
