Hey guys, Im shopping for a generator at a good price, and I came across this one. Its 4400 watt surge, with 3500 continuous and features electric starter and an auto idle control to adjust speed to the load which they say saves on gas.
It's a DuroMax Elite, 7.hp, large muffler with spark arrestor, has a wheel kit, and the reviews I've seen seem pretty good. I was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with this brand, good or bad, or know something about it. I dont need a ton of watts, but I'd like clean power for my pellet stove and tv and a few lights etc.
What do you guys think? Here the link for it .

Also is it necessary to put a ground rod in to run these? I've never heard of that on portable unit, I thought you wheel it over to where you need it and start it up and plug in... ?
I searched through the Generator posts here and dont see a lot about grounding and operation, plus I have never owned one but would like to have a decent one at a good price.
