A few also found the generator to be too loud and had difficulties with assembly. Overall, the generator appears to be a capable and generally positive performer, but customers should carefully consider their power needs and be prepared to troubleshoot any potential issues.

Well built generator

Would Recommend

I highly recommend this Generac. The construction is beefier than the Kobalt equivalent, plus it's more powerful. The quick disconnect propane hose is nice compared with threaded fitting. Simple controls to switch fuel source. Assembly takes about 15 minutes. I had to charge the battery and will now leave it hooked up to a trickle charger.

Works as it should.

Would Recommend

This was a warranty replacement for my 3300. I removed and applied thread lock compound to all the fasteners because of the previous generator failure. This new one works as it should. I don't like the handle because it collapses when trying to push generator backwards.

Would Recommend

I decided to get a generator before winter sets in. Last year we were without power for 24 hours once, and the year before that we had no power for nearly a week. This year we are prepared.

GENERAC it's the only brand I'll buy.

Would Not Recommend

It's a GENERAC so the brand says it all as if we lose power, we don't want to 'hope' our generator works, with a GENERAC, there is no question it will work.

Easy purchase and pickup

Would Recommend

This was an easy pick up from Lowes after an online order. Purchased at 7:30 am and picked up at noon but was ready before that. Victor also came out with me to help get it in my truck. Got it home and filled it with the supplied oil after minimal assembly and it started right up on first pull without choke. Let it run for half hour. Started the same the next day. Only have 1 hour of run time on the unit according to the digital timer but everything seems solid so far.

Generac 8250 / 6700-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Genera

Would Recommend

I purchased the Generac 8250 / 6700-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator and have been extremely impressed with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, everything about this unit spoke to quality. Setup was straightforward — it started right up on the first try. I really appreciate the dual fuel option, which gives me the flexibility to run it on propane or gasoline depending on availability. The power output is strong and steady, easily running my essential appliances and more without a hi...

Great for the price

Would Recommend

During assembly I realized the handle bolts are not long enough to fit in position to secure the handle. Otherwise, it’s a solid piece of equipment.

great product

Would Recommend

The generator offers strong wattage output and runs smoothly whether I’m using gasoline or propane. The dual-fuel capability is a major plus—it gives flexibility during fuel shortages or emergencies, and propane burns cleaner, which helps extend engine life. Starting it is quick and reliable with the electric start option, though the recoil backup also works fine.
