easy manoeuvrability.

Power Output and Tank Size

The Dusrostar DS4400 E contains a powerful 210cc OHV (overhead valve) 4-stroke engine
that is able to generate plenty of power. The power output 4400 starting watts of maximum
power and 3500 running wattage and can be a source of a heavy duty power tools to run for
i.e, air conditioner, refrigerator, 55" TV, Dish box, internet modem, house phone, and portable
heater with ease as people review.

the generator also includes MX2 technology which means that you can get the most from
each of the 120-volt receptacle that allows you to choose to operate the at both 120V - 240V
In ease. Or at the only 120V full power and this is so amazing for the usage with RVs.
This 120V power can very compatible with the major appliances

In order to buy your generator you need to accumulate how many watts you want for your
electrical devices that will result your basic home power or approximate watts need that you
want to be generated
When power outage or whatever the circumstances or camping, bad weather time
For how long do you want this generator to run to be beneficial for you ?

And many questions to be took in consideration

DuroStar DS4400E has a 3.96 gallons tank volume.

 Power Efficiency and Fuel Type
The DuroStar Ds4400E is a 4-gallon gas powered fuel tank with a built-in fuel gauge
And it is a 3000-4000 rated wattage category generator. As it powered by gasoline
Gasoline is one of the available fuels all over the world and when it comes to comparing the
DS4400E Generators to fuel consumption on average with other generators.
On average, you can expect a five-gallon tank of gasoline generator to
consume at least 0.75 gallons per hour. If we multiplied the 0.75 gallons per
hour * 6.6 that is about 6.45 hours = 4.95 fuel consumption

According to the reviews from customers mentioned that if we operated the

generator with 50% fuel tank load capacity it can work for about 8 hours as a
continuous power source.

Based on the average Gasoline Consumption range while the half tank of
gasoline generates electric power for major appliances for 8 hours according
to the average fuel consumption of gasoline, the DuroStar DS4400 E is a very
efficient portable generator.
