Easy to start

Easy to start, light enough to carry, excellent quality

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 ...

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.

CRAFTSMAN 2500 -Watt Single Fuel (Gasoline) Invert

Impossible to start after sitting for a couple of weeks. Started the first time and ran, but after that will not start. Not dependable.

Great little genset

For the 3300 watt output, this generator is really quiet. I use it at campgrounds to power a small a/c unit for my tent (5000 btu). The auto idle works great when higher loads are placed on the unit and then spools down when removed. Starts on second pull and runs like a Honda for less than half the price.

Junk Product

Unreliable when it actually starts. Regardless if you clean everything out, set your plug right and run good gas, it does not work. A waste of money that runs on the coattails of a formerly good name.

All turn off every 3 hours. Hard to turn on after.

Very bad product. Not reliable. Its hard to turn on. It turned off every 3 hours. Honda generators are way better. Please don't waste your money buying this product. You'll regret it if you do.

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...

Gen X

Now you Young people need to know basics about generators oil fuel ⛽️ 4 pulls starts every time living off grid check oil before you start every time not hard but gen X has experience in this field can't help if you don't learn

Easy to use!

We bought this after using one loaned to us during a 29 hour power outage. It saved our food in a refrigerator and an upright freezer by cycling between the two. It also ran a light, charged our devices and ran our toaster oven.

Quiet

Wouldn’t recommend buying it

Had it for a year, I didn’t use it much. All of a sudden it started decelerating and accelerating abnormally when it was on, until one day it just stoped working. Worst grand I ever spent.

Not enough strong as the description

I have the 300i and is stronger than new on ale and new one is the 3300i

Awesome product
