Would RecommendThis generator came in handy during our recent power outage. It was able to power two sub pumps and our Samsung fridge. It was well worth the money and saved me from having to file an insurance claim. 5 STARS 🌟

Excellent duel fuel generator.

Good value generator
Would RecommendHandle and wheel assembly very nice, and necessary. Not commercial duty but adequate if you’re just wheeling it around the shed or garage. Wheels are hollow plastic, which is fine again for a shed or garage, but I wouldn’t want to wheel it down an aggressive stone driveway. Starts easy and is relatively quiet. Good size gas tank and over nine hours run time isn’t bad.

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...

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