Ratings & Reviews for Firman Electric Start 10000 Starting / 8000 Running Watt Gasoline, Liquid propane, Natural gas Tri fuel Portable Generator

Outstanding generator with 3 fuel options

Easy set up, just install wheels and stabilizer bar. Runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas. Easy push button start. Life saver in these winter storms.

Turning it on

It is set up but have not been used. Some steps to turn in but once it's done it is easy to use.

Heavy

Like the fact that it has multiple fuel types and electric start but very heavy

Easy start, smooth running

So far very nice. Easy crank after I realized you have to have a full tank for it to run at first. Customer service was excellent getting me thru that!!

Solid Generator Option for the Price

Easy to set up and use, quick start guide was very helpful. I like that it is easy to use gas and or propane.

In a Chaotic Situation The Lowe's Team were CALM

On the eve of the first big Winter Storm in the Carolinas, the hunt was on for a generator when the one I have would not start. I spotted 53 generators available late Saturday afternoon at the SW Lowes on South Tryon. I purchased on line, got there to pick it up and there were people every where going after the generators. I was immediately greeted by the team, they took my order number, told me was not quite ready, but asked if I would stand in one place, wait a few minutes and they would tend...

Junk

Decided to purchase this generator as a backup for the upcoming winter storm. Everywhere close to me was sold out, so I traveled 1.5 hours away to another Lowe's that had one in stock. Got it home, unboxed, got it to run, then it shuts down after 5-10 seconds of runtime. I thought it was a sensitive CO sensor, but it was flashing yellow---the prompt to replace a defective CO sensor. Decided to return back to Lowe's, because I refuse to go through the manufacturer to fix a broken product righ...

Exhaust could be muffled better at this price pt.

Powerful and very efficient. Multiple fuel options is a plus.

Great in a time of need.

Easy to put together and started up immediately. Ran perfectly when the need was great during our recent power outage.

Best generator for the money

This generator was perfect for what I needed. I had my power shut off due to high winds for 4 days. This generator was able to run a furnace, 2 water heaters, a commercial refrigerator and freezer, and still left enough power to get by. The cord that comes with it that converts 30 amps was also very helpful. For the money I would highly recommend this generator.

Great generator

This generator has been amazing. It’s easy to use, provides power for our entire house!

Worth every penny!

The Firman T08073 is a workhorse! The tri fuel works amazing for us. The electric start works awesome and starts every time no problem at all! It is a bit heavier than I anticipated but with how easy it states and all the controls I'll take it! The extra heavy duty cord is worth its weight in gold and controlled everything we put at it. The generator runs all day on one tank of propane powering 2 deep freezers, 2 refrigerators and numerous other items without hesitation.

Decent generator for the price.

It has a lot of output for home use. It does seem to have a few issues related to the CO2 sensor and does seem to flicker or put out power that is not as steady or clean as typical power you get from the power company. I would not recommend using it for sensitive electronics. It does have some issues with starting, from what I have seen with others who have the same generator, but this seems to be mostly related to use of natural gas. My father has one that also uses quite a bit of oil. Overa...

easy to use

It works amazing and kept us warm during a 64 hour power outage

Rod broke

Within 4 months of using this generator my rod broke. Having pieces break off and oil spilling everywhere.

Awesome

Great generator started up on first try, I would definitely recommend this to a friend

Absolutely wonderful.

Love this generator. Having the option to use 3 different types of fuel is so great. We have a natural gas line going to our outdoor grill that we were able to just connect to the generator. Very easy setup. So glad we bought this one. No searching for gas or propane.
