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

Would Recommend

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!

works great

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
