NO BATTERY

Would Recommend

Please be aware that NOWHERE in the description does it say the battery is not included. I've had Generac generators before and they are great. I have no doubt this one will be, too. The delivery was fine and the product is good--except that we had to scramble to purchase a battery that wasn't included and there was no notation as such--except for the MANY questions asking if it was included. Unfortunately, I didn't review questions before I purchased it, because I thought the description showed...

Horrible Product, poor customer service

Would Not Recommend

I bought a 24kw product 2 years ago and had it professionally installed and maintained. Also bought the extended warranty making it covered completely for 10 years. Starting with my 2 year maintenance call, it has been nothing but problems. The local company who is supposedly repairing it has no idea what is wrong and begun changing out parts with no success. I would give it less stars if possible. have over 13k in this product that does not work.

We have not installed yet. Came with a 200amp transfer switch. Wish we could have had a choice of transfer switch size. We needed a 150 amp. Delivery was super quick.

Plumbing work not done until December! in January they came back to finish install and powered was off so it could be finished. But no inspection was ordered!

I ordered the wrong size and the shipping company returned it. I called Lowes and they verified it was returned. I chatted with someone on the app 10 days later and they could not find where it was returned. I offered to forward the email from the shipping company and they declined. Now, almost 2 weeks later, still nothing. If you have to return this item, beware. Evidently it's returned but then no one can find it and you're stuck paying for an item you don't have for the next 7 years.
