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

Make sure to test it before you need it.

Surges when you put a medium load on it. Have to run the choke part of the way closed to get it to stop surging. I am going to exchange it.

Very strong generator and dependable startup

Very good generator and dependable and can do more things than just run heaters

Good Value for the money.

Ran great. Started quickly. A little bit bulky.

Simple Operation

Although I have not used yet. The generator was easy to get started if needed.

Great Genny

This was the last one in the store , Assembly was very easy of the wheels handle etc , Filling oil was also a snap and it does come with oil ! It started on the first pull and ran smooth ! It's also not overly loud ! And by the way this is built by Generac for Lowe's /Kobalt . It's a good machine to power all your basics in am emergency. No issues so far at all . Testing it out with different loads this generator never even burped , just ran smooth as can be , it's a good machine !

wouldn't expect it to run full time for years

easy assembly. only ran a test run- started easy, 121 volts and 61 hz per testing equipment. dropped to 120 and 60 when load plugged in- very good. should be good for power outages or camping

Generator for emergency use

Fast delivery, it came with oil, easy to crank and it works.
