Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN Performance Recoil Start 7500 Starting / 6000 Running Watt Gasoline Single fuel Portable Generator

Perfect machine so far

Bought this 3 years ago never used until yesterday due to micro storm knocking out power. Just put the wheels on add the supplied oil that was perfect amount. Add the gas and it started right up. I so far ran for 2 days 8 hours or more each time and has not failed yet. I’m sure once I’m done I’ll have to change the oil and all but in all she’s a beast. No complaints. Fridge , tvs internet fan now I just need it wired into my house.

Powerhouse

No surprise, generator this size makes noise. The wheels make it is easy to be moved. It met the need when our power went out. Starting was as easy as my mower. Electric start would have been nice though. And perhaps the version that uses optional fuels. Seems to built well.

Not telling you your buying a returned item

Do not buy generators from lowes. Thieves are buying and replacing generators with miscellaneous items. Lowes does not check and def does not tell the consumer the item is a return!!!! Great. But then lowes will not replace or refund you. So you the consumer gets to pay for their incompetence!! I know can't be real. But unfortunately it's true. If you can eat $700-$1600 loss or feel like donating to lowes go ahead. Just wanted to warn consumers.

It started first pull all three times I have used

Works well

Had to pull an extra time or 2 to get it to start, but worked efficiently during the snow storm. Handled everything we hooked up to it. It was a little loud, but that can be overlooked since it kept us functional

Started the first time.

It started

Ran it for 15 minutes, it worked.

Triple check item u ask for

I asked for an indoor generator. Associate said that is on top shelf, forklift required. The item is not an indoor model.

Good buy, great features.

Good price and good features.

Just hard to get it started

It’s a good machine but is just too hard to get started

Initially seemed a good value but won't last

Was happy when first purchased but the first warning came trying to find a spare plug. The number in the manual is a Craftsman number and customer service was useless. It's a Torch F6RTC. Then it wouldn't start. You have to ship it to an authorized repair shop at your expense so I did it myself. Turns out the intake value rocker arm was loose and flopping around. Fixed that, but then wouldn't start again. Turns out the power switch went bad and fixed that myself again. You're better off...
