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. When I attempted to use the generator for the first time, it immediately leaked gasoline from the carburetor area before it was ever started. The product was clearly defective and unsafe.

It broke the first time I used it. I couldn’t get back to lows for a couple of days because of the ice. They wouldn’t help me.

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.
