What Customers Are Saying

The generator is quiet, portable, and fuel-efficient, suitable for powering small electronics, appliances, and tools. It is easy to start and maintain, with helpful features like USB ports. However, some users report reliability and durability issues, with the engine cutting out or failing after short periods of use despite following maintenance instructions. Accessing the carburetor for servicing can also be difficult. The mixed reviews suggest the generator may be suitable for light-duty use, but may not be reliable for more demanding applications or extended runtime.

Very bad customer service.

Would Not Recommend

Hurricane didn’t make it necessary to use the generator so I didn't unbox it. Tried to return it and the Lowes in Spring Hill Fl said they wouldn't refund my money since it had been more that 48 hours since I purchased it. Huge foul. That’s horrible customer service. Generator is still unopened and in the box.

Very economical generator

This little generator saved our bacon (literally) during hurricane Milton. 3 day power outage and this machine kept my 2 refrigerators running and multiple lamps and chargers. Even made coffee in our Keurig. It’s very easy on gas as well, used about 1/2 gallon for every 5 hours of run time.

Angry that criminals continue to get away w/ theft

A thief purchased this item online and entered an “alternative” pick-up name at 12:38pm on 9/26/24 at the store on Camp Creek Parkway. The online receipt claims that I picked it up which is INACCURATE. I’m suspicious of an inside job at Lowe’s.

Great Little Generator

Would Recommend

This generator got us through Hurricane Helene. Strong enough to power our refrigerator and charging devices, run a fan, and run string lights in the house. Won’t power a portable AC and refrigerator though. Ran constant for 8 days with no issue!

I bought this generator on the website last Friday before Hurricane Helena arrived. It kept my refrigerator and outdoor freezer, plus necessary devices, going for the 5 days we were without power. Very quiet, easy start, and excellent on gas
