Editorial Review:
The Makita 4,300-watt 9.0 HP power generator has a 265 cc overhead cam EX series engine that's chain-driven for superior performance and includes fewer moving parts for greater reliability. The 4,300-watt maximum output delivers plenty of power for running various appliances and tools in blackouts. Commercial-duty electrical components have common NEMA receptacles for durability and the well-designed engine and frame mounts produce less vibration. The 71-decibel sound output creates a quieter environment. A recoil starter system with electronic ignition delivers easy, reliable starts, while the timing chain carries oil throughout the generator for full lubrication. This generator comes with a built-in oil sensor to shut off the ignition when dangerously low oil levels occur and large, high-capacity air and fuel filters that reduced service intervals. The 4.2-gallon capacity of the metal fuel tank enables up to 8 hours of runtime. Makita backs its generator with a 1-year limited warranty.
