You may want to purchase a longer power cable.

I 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 Recommend

I 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 Recommend

Easy 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.
