What Customers Are Saying

The generator is described as powerful, reliable, and able to power a variety of household appliances during outages. Many users praise its easy starting and ability to run for extended periods on a full tank. However, some experienced issues with the GFCI breaker, CO2 sensor, and insufficient power output. A few also found the generator to be too loud and had difficulties with assembly.

On January 30, 2026, I purchased a Generac generator (Model G0080620) and a Lowe’s Protection Plan from the Meridian, Mississippi Lowe’s store (#1568). This purchase was made for emergency use during an ice storm under FEMA Disaster Declaration EM‑3640‑MS. When I needed Lowe's they failed miserably.

Gas leak

Would Recommend

Got it out of the box read the manual and put it together. Added gas and oil to the generator and it started up and was running rough. I looked and gas was pouring out of the carburetor. I couldn’t get it to stop leaking so I called the toll free number and they gave me a number to call someone else. Still haven’t use it. I figure that the float in the carburetor is stuck.
