T-MAX Portable Petrol Generator 6000-WE ~ 3.0 KVA 8HP ~ Quiet Power Electric Key Start (Electric Key Start/Recoil Start)

The Dealourus T-Max generator Very easy to setup and use I've used it to power the many corded power tools I've had for years out in the Field its not a light machine but it's very robust and I added my own after market wheel's to ease moving it around,I can actually lift it myself and I'm 65 year's old but would recommend not everyone trying this.The N.Ireland based company is very approachable quick to reply,due to an unfortunate mistake I left them a poor review which I unreservedly take back and would encourage anyone to buy from them .

Perfect for my needs.

Cons*Heavy (46 kg when full of petrol and oil).*Arrived with the chasis bent and wasn't packed well enough to prevent this.*It comes without the rubber feet on. It's much stronger when they're on.*Difficult to get the oil level right as the dip-stick is almost horizontal.*Says not to leave it out doors. But you can only run it outdoors.*So not really for continuous use.*It is not a "Copper-Wound Motor". The motor is a 4-stroke petrol engine. The copper windings are on the alternator. But ALL alternators have copper windings. 🙄*There are no contact details from Dealourus, and no warranty documents.Pros*Seems to start easily enough. Both with the electric starter and with the pull-cord.*Needs the choke, even when fairly hot after it's already been running, so probably economical and not wasting petrol.*I can move it about on my own but can't actually pick it up and carry it. Needs two people.*Fairly compact. I've managed to find a spot in my shed to stow it away.*I tried it with a 3KW iron. It works with this, once it (the generator) is warmed up.*Same with a 1.8KW compressor and a 500W lamp. Both run OK together, once the generator is warmed up.If you are only going to need it occasionaly then turn the petrol tap off when it's still running to let the carburretor run dry. Also disconnect the battery. Oh, and put a bit of Red-X in with the petrol. Good for Lawnmowers too.Overall it seems pretty good for the money. Can't say yet whether it will last. I bought a Parkside portable generator from Lidl a few years ago. That wouldn't start and leaked petrol like a sieve. Fingers crossed on this Dealourus T-MAX. Glad I bought it through Amazon. They do sort things out if you have problems with purchases.

Arrived well packed, started first time, yes a little noise but as a waterproof box with lifting sides for the ventilation was made, noise contained. Good all round as stated for domestic use.

I read the reviews before I purchased and most said that it was a good product and started first time. . . Well, it is a good product and it started first time!Fairly quiet as well. I would recommended it

Changing this review as it broke down after two months! Company gave me two phone calls, now I'm out money and generator is still broke! Now no communication from them!

Had problems with this starting within a few weeks of delivery. After speaking to James we agreed it could be the battery which he replaced. Starting problem re-occured and after some trial and error, it was decided that the solenoid could be the problem.I have tried to contact James on many occasions but not getting any reply from emails or phone calls.I messaged him through Amazon and he replied to say part had been posted but it has never arrived.I asked him to confirm when it was posted and to confirm postal address and courier but have never received a reply.Considering this item came with a 2 year warranty I am very dissapointed that I now have an electric start generator which I need to pull start to get it going and as I am approaching 73 of age this was bought to make life easier when using itA dissapointed Wullie D

After filling up with oil and petrol, it has started for the first try. Not silent, but I wasn't expecting it to be the highest tech for this amount. Runs, provides electricity. Tried only with our double door huge fridge and smaller appliances, will try the max power output tomorrow.So far so good.
