Customer Reviews

let the chinese buy it
I had a generac generator that I just gave to my son in law and replaced it with this generator,,after reading all the pros and cons on these reviews I took it for granted that the info I was reading was up to date..well LISTEN TO THE BAD NEWS,,,the nice rubber tires are probably made of the cheap plastic that the funnel was made of,,,

it will never go flat it will crack up in a few years,,oh the colors are pretty , so is the crap at the dollar store, what im telling you that the only thin that is made here in the USA is the box it came in after I assembled it and fueled it up I read the box and said made in china,,,

I had called Honeywell and asked them who makes their engine they replied Kohler,,,I called Kohler and asked about this engine ,,,they replied that this one is made in China and who knows what design they used..

If I had known this I would never have purchased it and If I had not assembled the unit and fueled it up I would have brought it back to the shipper and refused it..now maybe this being built in China means nothing to many, It means something to me..so if you like the tidbits you enjoy working in the usa,,,

like social security Medicaid and other benefits, you can spend the money and find a generator made in the usa,,or you can throw your future in the garbage and buy this one,,,the job you save might be your own PS Honeywell and amazon should advertise this item as made in china ,,the only place I have seen that is on the box

AWESOME GENERATOR
Received generator 2 days earlier than expected. Driver had a semi with a liftgate which made it easy to unload. Assembly was quick and easy, great manual, no parts were missing. Filled the oil tank & gas tank, push the electric starter, it immediately started up.

I live in a rural area and the power goes out quite often and sometimes it is days before it is restored. For $999 total delivery cost, it is a bargain. I have shopped and researched a lot of generators, this is a good buy. As others have said, the oil funnel is junk, in fact, the one included with this generator was broken in half, no real loss.

Great buy
We ordered this Honeywell generator online and it was delivered the same week. There is some assembly required to install the wheels, handles, and connect the battery, but the instructions are staight forward and anyone with minimal mechanical ability can accomplish this task with ease.

When I first tried to start it it would not fire at all. My touble shooting run down found that the spark plug clip on the wire was broken in half. I phone call to the nearest service dealer, which was 35 miles away, found that he had the part in stock.

After driving the 70 mile round trip to retrieve the part that was under warrenty, fixing the broken part was easy. Once installed the engine fired right up. I am very pleased with the purchase and the broken part issue should not be a determining factor in the performance of the tool.
