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.

Would RecommendI had an older generator that died just before a storm. Other persons were in the same situation and it was hard to find generators in stock. Lowe's brought in a small stock of these generators and I immediately bought it. Since then I noticed that this model is regularly sold for $200 more at competitors. Thank you Lowe's for not inflating the prices during a crisis. The only criticism I have of the generator is the power cable is only 3 feet long which means all the extension cords connec...

Easy to Start
Would RecommendI haven't had to use the generator yet - I just fired it up a couple of times to be sure it all worked, and it did. I like that it runs on gasoline and LP, it is easy to start and has a rope-pull start in case the battery is depleted. I like that a charger for the battery comes with it. It seems to be a good product. I already have a Generac pressure washer - second one - and I like their products and reputation. I do wish it had come with a cover, which I have now ordered. And it is heavy - but...

FANTASTIC Product.
Would RecommendEasy and simple to hook up and going. . Used it for days during the ice storm here. Never missed a beat unless it ran out of gas. Ran 24/7 for days. Instant was awesome. Sinple for a Senior Citizen woman start.

It is not put together and takes about 1.5 hours
I was told the generator was already put together and ready to roll. No so! I’m a 69 year old female who had to lift this up to put the wheels on and another 1.5 hours put it together and wiring it up in the bitter cold. Thanks a lot Lowe’s!

Great Generator!
Very high quality product. Quick out of the box set up. Relatively quiet. Super efficient. I averaged 14 hours on 5.5 gallons of gas (the tank holds 8 gallons) on a recent 4 day power outage.

My generator
Would RecommendAfter two days of no power and the cost of replacing all of my refrigerator contents, I made the decision to be proactive and make sure this isn’t an issue again. My generator arrived at my home on time and they placed it exactly where I needed it. Great customer service !
