This Generator ROCKS!!
Would RecommendWe recently lost power with Hurricane Milton. I purchased this generator about 16 months ago and this was its first use. This baby rocked for over 36 hours straight. Made the power outage tolerable.

has more than enough power for essentials
Would RecommendLoved the electric start. This generator would run my two fridges and freezer plus various fans in the house. I even used it to heat water in the water heater for a shower. It has a 50 amp 230VAC connector that will allow me to connect my RV up anytime I need to.

DO NOT PURCHASE - under ANY circumstances !
Would Not RecommendPurchased unit on 9/25/24 in anticipation of arriving HURRICANE HELENE and Arrived at our local #1794 Valdosta,GA Lowes. Personnel was extremely helpful and courteous. I totally question now if they possibly received some sort of bonus pushing this product over an entire pallet full of Gas Generac's. Product was cranked up @ daybreak on 9/27 &she used excessive oil to keep going - but it ran well for 5 days going OUT on 10/1/24. Went back to local Lowe's Customer Service on 10/2 and was told...

Do NOT purchase ! Under any circumstances
Would Not RecommendPurchased this on 9/25/24 in prep for arriving Hurricane Helene. Local Lowe’s #1794 Valdosta GA had personnel on duty that were excellent & helpful. I question now were they given bonuses to push this product over a pallet of gas Generac generators sitting next to this. We bought based on their advice & felt lucky driving home. She started up fine after storm on 9/27/24 & ran until 10/1/24. Only 5 days - & guess what - it needs a part. Lowe’s does not carry replacement parts for Firman - s...

Another Hurricane Beryl User
Would RecommendHave only used it in anger twice since bought in 2022. Earlier this year for a few hours but 50 hours continuously during Beryl outage. Very satisfied. Ran on propane. Used two 20# bottles joined by a Y hose regulator. Changed out bottles every 12 hrs or so and still had some propane remaining. Weighed each bottle before and after use, total usage 113# (26.7 gallons) averaging (2.2# or .54 gal/hour). Hooked up to one of my 150 amp electrical panels via interlock. Ran all lights and outlets, 2 la...

Keeping it permanently fixed in a detached garage running exclusively on nat gas since previous owner kindly had installed a connection already looked like for a heater.

Hurricane Beryl
Would RecommendWe lost power Monday July 8,2024; we have a 2200 sq./ft house. We have (3) refrigerators, (2) window units, kitchen appliances, (2) large TV's, (2) computers, internet, cell phones, etc.. operating on this generator. It hasn't missed a lick and has been running 24 hrs each day except for refueling. I have 2 neighbors go buy the same one as well and they are extremely happy as well. We are still on generator and won't have power back till 7/15/2024 the earliest.

Saved the day after Hurricane Beryl
Would RecommendJust used it three days straight with only stopping it to change the oil at the 25 hour mark. Hurricane Beryl just hit here in Houston and the generator never skipped a beat. Ran via a tap in the natural gas line and even with the temps in the upper 90s it never struggled, it just hummed along. Powered most of the house with a portable a/c, clothes washer, refrigerator, two freezers and NG clothes dryer at the same time. Definitely recommend!
