Would RecommendI’ll be honest — I would have preferred an inverter generator or even a whole‑house standby system, but when you need power, you need power. I’ve lived in my home for over 12 years, and while the electricity usually comes back on within a few hours, I’ve learned that comfort and security matter more as I get older.

Generac generator
Had problems with product right from the start. Could not return product to Lowes out of the box.Took it to get repaired under warranty. Repair person is having trouble getting an answer from Generac as what to do with the issue. It's been a week since I took it in. Not very happy with product at the moment.

Would RecommendThe generator was shipped ok, But had to call lowes to have a repair person to come out and show me A) to use it. B) and make sure it works before he was gone from my house, Because if it did not work I wanted the service person to take notes of this and to have it fixed now or to have it returned!

Frustrated! Generator for Storm
Would Not RecommendBought generator upon threat of storm knocking out power. Bought a few days prior assembled and started upon completing installation. Brought it down to where it would be used and thought I would test it out. Good thing because it never would keep constant voltage! Called Generac 1-800 number and tried to troubleshoot to no avail. Provided a local number to service. Because it was a Sunday only provided a message would call Monday morning. I called Lowe’s and said I could exchange it for an...
