What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the generator's reliability and performance during power outages, with many highlighting easy starting, consistent power output, and impressive runtime—some reporting 72 hours of uninterrupted operation. The 8-gallon fuel tank and intuitive controls earn frequent praise for practical value. However, some customers report serious quality issues including excessive oil consumption, premature engine failure, and fouled spark plugs within weeks of purchase. A few mention it runs loud and is heavy. Despite these concerns, most customers consider it a dependable solution for emergencies.

bought this generator from Lowe's in Show Low, AZ on April 22, 2024. Less than two months later, it starts burning oil and running rough. Went through a quarter in a week. Now it won't start. Took it to Lowe's and the tell me I need to get an RA number from craftsman, so I call craftsman. Craftsman says that they don't deal with THEIR OWN PRODUCTS WARRANTY and sends me to a third party. Third party (Firman Power Equipment in Peoria, AZ) are telling me that they no longer do RA numbers and my onl...

CRAFTSMAN Performance 6000-Watt Portable Generator

Would Recommend

Easy to assemble, 8 gallon gas tank allowed generator to run between 10 - 12 hours depending on load, 2 pull start following directions. Good sized handle allows for easy movement; however, at close to 175 pounds it's not going to go off-roading easily. I took off 2 stars because of the noise level. If a diesel engine can be engineered to have a low noise level so should a small gas engine. I would not want to use this where I'm not away from it in the house unless I was wearing good ear protec...

No Specifications - 240V Ability?

Would Not Recommend

We just picked up a Craftsman 6000W Generator from the North Port FL Lowes on US41. The box is currently unopened. We cannot find any documentation on the Lowes or equivalent site on the actual electrical outputs specification for the device. Can it handle 240V AC? We are already planning to return the generator this week based on the lack of information on DB sound and actual electrical connections. Why is this a secret? Thanks

Does what it should

Would Recommend

Easy to assemble and operate. Heavy enough to require two people to raise it into a truck bed. Loud. With the money for peace of mind.
