What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this generator for exceptional reliability during extended power outages, with many reporting it powered refrigerators, lights, and medical devices for 12-14 hours on a single tank. Reviewers consistently highlight effortless starting on the first pull and intuitive operation, even for those without technical experience. The built-in CO detector that automatically shuts down the unit at dangerous levels is frequently cited as a confidence-building safety feature. Most find it powerful enough for essential household systems, though some note the 3-foot power cord requires extension cords. A few mention assembly challenges or rare issues like fuel leaks, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction.

Good generator!

PTL for this generator! We heard the day before Winter Storm Fern hit north LA that our local Lowes got a shipment of generators in. My husband raced over there and bought this one. It got us through 7 days of no electricity just fine. We got about 12 hours/tank, running just the essentials.

Problems out of the box.

Would Not Recommend

As many stated before, leaking fuel out of the box. Also was missing an axle abd hardware. Called company for help- parts still have not shipped 2 weeks later. I managed to get it running after watching sone youtube videos. It seems to run good but unimpressed by the hassle it's been so far.

Generator worked Perfect!

It worked perfect for us! We hooked it up and it kept 4 freezers, a tv, lights, etc going for around 10 or more hours on a 5 gallon gas tank! I would definitely recommend this to friends!! Thank you Lowe’s, you kept us from being in the dark during the ice storm of 2026! We were in the dark for 8 days because of the ice storm, before we purchased this generator!

Gas or Propane AND Electric or Pull Start in one!!

Would Recommend

It seems like it has it all. Dual fuel AND electric or pull start! It's Heavy! Have help from the box until assembly is complete. After, the "wheelbarrow" style tow arms help transport it. Seems solid built. Lights in house didn't flicker. Plenty of power so far!
