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

It's almost completely assembled .

The generator was complete with all the accessories and easy instructions for assembly and usage.

No power

Got it home. Put in oil and gas. Started right up. Plugged in, turned on some lights, a freezer and refrigerator and the generator breaker popped. Tried again and again and took it back to Lowes and they said I would have to take it to a repair center. I showed them their written return policy says I can return it. After some angry words they took it back.

Generator

A lemon?

I bought an H07552 three years ago, pretty much an H07553 today. I built a special enclosure for it outdoors, and tested it once, using the electric start switch. It worked fine. I didn't need to use it until summer 2024 during a storm and power outage. It would not start. The pull cord pulled all the way out and was useless. The electric start did not work. I took the pull cord assembly apart, rewound it, and that worked. I then purchased three different parts on advice from Firman tech suppor...

Hurricane Helene

We purchased this after the hurricane and it worked perfectly. Not hard to set up and ran GREAT. I didn't use the propane option but instead ran off gas and only had to fuel it maybe once a day and that was just to keep the tank full. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing additional power sources.

Overall a Great Generator

Overall Great Generator. Ran 41 hours between propone and fuel with no issue. Very easy to switch between fuels. Finger switch start quick and easy. My cons are minor. I wish it was a tad quieter. Note: You will have to pump the fuel out if the tank, there is not an excessible valve to drain it for storage. Simple cheap buy on ama**n. The wheels would be better as tube tires, but the tires are strurdy and roll well.

First try and it started right up…

+ Easy assembly + Easy to move around (super heavy unit) + Cranked up on the first try but we’ve only run it once ? Time will tell if this was worth the hefty price

It’s heavy and hard to lift

Ease of operation

Overkill for my house, but the only store with inv

The dual fuel (gas & propane) feature is wonderful. Output capacity could run the house — with hot water & AC requiring the purchase of a hefty adapter cable — which is more than I had been looking for, After Hurricane Milton hit Tampa, there was a run on all stores and all generator sizes. Lowe’s Zephyrhills store got pallets of these $999.99 generators in two days after the hurricane and people bought them, and often with two 5-gal gas cans like I did, simply due to Duke Energy’s restoration ...

Generator

Worth the Price

Easy to setup and get started. It's heavy duty and able to give enough power to sufficiently run a small house for several days of no electricity!

I’m not a satisfied customer!

That fact that it was not delivered in time and when I went to Lowe’s in person they did not drop the shipping fee!!! I was very disappointed in the matter in which it was handled! They should have refunded the shipping fee regardless due to the fact that it was delivered weeks later! I purchased it at Lowe’s and it was their responsibility to see to it that I received great satisfaction from them which is what you do to keep your customers satisfied! I should not have to pay for shipping!!!

Great generator just when we needed it

After tropical storm Helene our power went out. We needed a new generator because our old one was not producing electricity. We purchased this generator specifically because it can use two sources of fuel. We chose to use propane and it worked beautifully. It is important to read the instructions or you can think it is defective when it is really just not following directions. We are very pleased with this new generator and highly recommend it.

Surviving Helena in WNC

Ran 12 hrs a day for 19 days while we were without power! Kept us from going insane! Only complaint is noise level but considering everything we went through it’s an insignificant complaint.

Lowe's came through just in time

Was just what me and family need and it did the job
