What Customers Are Saying
The generator appears to have mixed reviews. Many customers found it quiet, portable, and able to power various household items during outages. However, a significant number reported reliability issues, with the generator failing to start or run properly after initial use. Some also found it underpowered, especially for larger appliances. Overall, the generator may work well for basic power needs but may not be suitable for more demanding applications.

Bought this generator after losing power from a tornado. It started right up and powered the fridge and deep freeze and other appliances without issue. Very impressive.

Return Policy & Wrong Information Given!
Never opened the product didn’t use it. Bought a craftsman generator for last weeks storm. I was told by sales person I could return it with no problem as long had receipt and not opened. Waited until after the storm about 72 hours later and service manager had said had until 48 hours Purchase or 30 days if you Lowes card! He pointed at the return policy that was posted to the side and not in front of desk. Whole experience was just awful and I was going to use them for Kitchen remodeling it I ...

Totally Disappointed for Multiple Reasons
I ordered the CMZGIAC3300 directly from Lowe's. Because of weather issues, it was delivered by FedEx five days late. That isn't a fault of Generac or Lowe's. FedEx, however, wasn't doing deliveries when UPS was. I bought a new gas can from Lowe's on Friday before delivery. The box showed no sign of damage whatsoever. I got the unit prepared (added the proper amount of oil supplied and fresh gas from the new container mentioned above. I started pulling on the starter with the setting on Choke. I...

Cannot run a 1200 watt A/C
I purchased the Craftsman 3300i to run a 1,200 watt A/C. I thought for sure it would run the A/C with no problem. The generator is advertised to run a 1,500 watt A/C. It was unable to start and run the A/C. I found out the problem after the unreasonable 48 hour return policy. I discovered that when trying to return the generator after 5 days. I called the Craftsman warranty line and after explaining the problem, I was referred to several local service companies (like a lawnmower repair co...

Fails when you need it
Purchased recently and used only once to run a few sumps during flooding. The next time we needed it was during a power outage and frigid temps. The generator would idle but could not carry a load (even tested it with very low watt devices). Lowe's would not refund or replace it and they were a bit rude about it. To be fair, they didn't have any generators to replace it with because many people were in need at the time.

Nightmare Experience
I purchased this generator for an outdoor charity event. Unwrapped it the night before the event. It would not start. Called the manufacturer and walked through a series of troubleshooting steps. The generator still would not start. Took it back to the store at 6am the next day to learn the store could not refund or exchange a brand-new generator that I just spent $700 on. In addition, the store does not have loaner or rental equipment. The unconcerned manager said my only option was to leave it...

Hunk of junk
I bought this thing during a snowstorm Thursday 12-5. I just needed something to run my furnace because my house dropped to 54 degrees from 72. I brought it home, read the instructions out in the cold. Prepped it. Removed spark plug, primed the oil, added gas. Started it up, black smoke rolled out of the back. Immediately stopped it and looked all around it. Couldn't find the source of why it was blowing smoke. Tried to start it again. It flashed low oil and wouldn't start. I packed it all up an...

If you get what you pay for, then money well spent
I've only needed it once so far during a public safety power shutoff for about 18 hours. Easy to set up out of the box, add the oil and fuel and you're good to go. (and the oil was included in the box!) It is surprisingly quiet compared to generators I've been around in the past. It is pretty small and about as heavy as a well packed suitcase but less than 50 lbs. It starts easily and with the relatively small load we put on it, a tank of fuel (just regular unleaded btw, no mixing) lasts more th...
