Ratings & Reviews for Firman Electric Start 9400 Starting / 7500 Running Watt Gas and Propane Dual fuel Portable Generator

Very disappointed.

Two of these have not lasted more than 40 days each. I was constantly adding oil from day one. I really want my money back, but they want to send it in for repair. I'm not happy.

Made an extended outage comfortable

Good price, performance and looks. Easy to set up and use. Ran everything we threw at it.

Ran good

I had it running for over 48 hours with my fridge, freezer, tv and internet plugged into it and it ran with no problems.

Generator doesn't work and lowes doesn't take retu

Bought this generator after a tornado shut power down for a week. The electric start didn't work it wasn't able to run on a new propane tank, when power finally came back on and I went to swap it for a working one lowes said they only take returns on generators for 48hrs with it in the original box. Kinda ridiculous especially in light of a natural disaster

Very easy Setup

Purchased, picked up from Lowe's. Opened box took it out installed wheels and rest stops. put all the oil in wheeled it to back yard where my home plug is. Put gas in it. pushed the start button and it fired right up. plugged it in and the whole house is now working. all this took approx 20 min. Very easy and works awesome.

Easiest generator I ever owned to use

Works great

Sturdy Generator

Overall, this is a great generator. Initial setup/ first use was a little frustrating because instructions didn't say to add the entire bottle of oil (our previous generator took less). Easy to move and comes with a cover.

Yes

Had it since 2020 no issues. Plenty of power to run everything. Have ran 48hrs at one point. Several overnight runs. Added 50A circuit breaker to home, with safety Have Micro-Air EasyStart on HVAC so to run heatpump. Only complaint is the bushed wheels, I replaced them with bearing units, much better roll.

Seems to work well

The generator was relatively easy to set up. It was connected to our breaker box by a licensed electrician and worked perfectly when tested. However, although it snowed about 2 1/2 inches, the powers never went out and we did not have the opportunity to see how well the generator worked. My one concern was the caution to not operate the generator in wet situations and obviously, that would include snow. We will need to invest in a wet weather cover before this happens again.
