Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 49 State 6830 Starting / 5500 Running Watt Gas and Propane Dual fuel Portable Generator

DO NOT BUY ANY GENERATORS FROM LOWES

48 hour return window.. Never opened.. never used.. “Sorry we don’t take generator returns after 48 hours from purchase.” Not unless my manager makes an exception. Of course they don’t & they refused the return!! Day 3 and I can’t return it. Frustrated is an understatement.. you lost a customer.

Out of the box? Don't count on it...

purchased this Kobalt duel/fuel generator mainly for home backup of key systems. Its a heavy one, so the wheels and handle are important. One of the wheels cannot be attached "out of the box" as a very sloppy machine overweld of the bracket that the bolt/cotter pin threads through will not allow the washer the cotter pin secures so the wheel turns to align - the weld slants the washer away from the bracket so the pin will not pass through the bolt. I have to file/grind the bulging weld down bo...

Excellent

Very happy with this little generator! An unexpected winter storm knocked out my power for a few days and my main generators regulator decided to kick the bucket and couldn't get a replacement for days. On a whim I bought this and it far exceeded my expectations! It wouldn't connect up to my big propane tank with the regulator included but on the 20lb tank I had that was 2/3 full it ran for 8.1 hours. Wasn't sure what to expect as far as output since this is less than half the output of my built...

Well worth cost.

Simple-easy to use. Needed portable generator for tree trimming with electric pole saw, on ten acres.

Delayed delivery

It took two long to get

Choking me out, but I liked it…

I bought this as a second generator during an ice storm while I had non power. It worked well and it ran it for several days straight through. Only concern I had is that I could not run it with the choke all the way closed and the pulley was very loose. At the end of the day, it worked and it was reliable.

Sales team very helpful and professional.

Great product for the price.

junk

did not star

Works, drama free

It was -17 degrees Fahrenheit when the power went out and our fairly new big fancy push button generator wouldn't start. We went to Lowes right when they opened and bought this Kobalt pull cord generator. We pulled it out of the box, paused to read the instructions never fear, fueled it up and it started immediately. It is powerful enough to run the winter essentials - well pump and furnace fans plus lights and the microwave.

Still new in box

Bought for a snow storm just in case was told we could bring it back if not opened by the cashier tried to bring back 4 days after purchase and they said i couldnt cause it was longer than 2 days since purchase

Great value for the money

Great packaging, easy assembly, nice looking unit. Fired with propane almost immediately, pretty quiet and stable when running. Haven’t run gas yet, maybe never will. Bought for recent snow storm but didn’t need it, glad I have one for future that’s ready to go. You can store propane indefinitely but never indoors.
