We lost power due to a tornado and were so happy to find this great generator at our local Lowe's store. It was an easy in and out purchase.

Great quality and great features

Would Recommend

This is a very solid generator. Gas or Propane option is convenient. Also, love the electric start which makes it super easy for my wife if I am not home.

The neighbors would lose their minds

Would Not Recommend

We had no idea this generator would be so loud that it would drive our family (not to mention the neighbors) to their wits' end during a power outage. It was clear this generator would be aChris disaster. Even though we JUST hooked it up and tried it once, we can't return or exchange it at Lowe's because it's past the 48-hour window. Not a product we'd recommend unless you have earplugs that work really well. Disappointed.

Dissatisfied

Would Not Recommend

This product used a lot of oil every day. There was not a puddle or even a drip of oil under the unit. It is very loud. The battery is working but has corrosion under it. The generator was run for 12 days. It also did not connect to the 30 Amp cord for my camper. I am very dissatisfied with this product and would not purchase another one.

We used this generator for two storms. The first one was for three days it was fine. We are on the fifth day of power outage and the engine blew to pieces. Call Lowe’s they couldn’t help told us to call the manufacturer . Called the manufacturer we had to send them pictures. He said that the engine should’ve never done that that we have to go through a process of taking it to a shop so they can replace the engine and that’s going to take About 10 days. We bought this generator thinking that it c...
