I don't get a 404 error either but I do notice something strange happening.
As I watch the address bar, first I see what I put in: http://www.earthsaverequipment.com
Then it changes to www.earthsaverequipment.com
before finally settling on earthsaverequipment.com once the page fully loads.
I think there are too many redirects in there. What exactly are you trying to achieve? And also, redirects aren't supposed to happen from the robots.txt file, but rather, the .htaccess file.
Too many http requests can slow down the load time of your site, thereby hurting your SEO.
