Expensive for few features

Would Not Recommend

This is an adequate generator. It has only 2 110v outlets, NO 30amp, NO 50amp. We bought it as literally the last one on the shelf during a power outage that lasted 3 days. It ran a freezer and seperate fridge/freezer as well as cable tv and internet fine. Would not handle adding a keurig. Fine for emergency, expensive for no 30A outlet at $650.

works for what you need.

It's lighter than I thought, and pretty easy to move around. I was able to keep my freezer and refrigerator running, plus the tv, and chargers.

Outstanding

Would Recommend

I purchased this generator to power a 10,000 BTU window air conditioner. It runs it perfectly. It starts the fourth pull every time. It runs the AC unit for over 9 hours on its coldest settings on 1 gallon of fuel. It's quiet. It's relatively lightweight and the design makes it easy to handle and transport compared to many other generators. The Honda model had a 30 amp receptacle that allows you to plug your RV into the unit. That's the main advantage of the Honda generator in my opinion.

Nice generator at a good price

Would Recommend

Hard to start the first time. But, after we got it running, it ran for 12 hours on each tank of gas. After the first tank it was much easier to start.

Do not buy and boycott Lowe’s

Would Not Recommend

Purchased this generator and set it up exactly as stated in the manual. It was not easy to start like Craftsman has on box. Pulled about 15 times and finally got it running. It died with 20 or 30 minutes. Lowes will not take it back as I was told I used the generator. Lowe’s and this generator are garbage. I have been arguing with their store for almost a month and my thirty days to return is about to run out. I am a contractor and spend a lot of money at Lowe’s. I will never spend anoth...
