KOHLER Generators Reviews

From time to time, we have had bad weather come through. I was without lights one time for four days. I live alone, and I'm 86 years old, so I got to thinking about getting a generator. You got to run the lines in the house, and you got to do all this kind of stuff when the lights go out. I decided I would bite the bullet and have a generator put in. My grandson and I were talking, and he was the one who encouraged me to get the KOHLER generator. The people who came out were great to deal with and did a good job. They explained to me what they were doing, when they were doing it. They were doing a special 10-year warranty on parts. I got that.

I heard about Kohler through friends in the area who have generators, and I know that Kohler is a quality product. I chose them over Generac. We live up in the middle of nowhere, miles away from anything. And having the generator is peace of mind more than anything else. The electrician who we had do the installation for us did a great job. Part of the reason I chose Kohler is that he said it's a better product and easier for them to maintain than Generac. They did a great job.

My contractor recommended Kohler as being better than Generac, which helped me with my decision on purchasing the generator. I asked my contractor how much it would cost to have one. He gave me a figure, and I checked a little bit with other people and it was roughly what they paid. I just wanted to go ahead, and he purchased Kohler.

We live in the mountains and power goes out up here. We looked at generators and our neighbors went with KOHLER, and so we did too. The marketing came from our neighbors who kept the generator first and had talked to the supplier. Then, once we talked to the supplier, we were very happy with it. It sounded like it's going to be a great advantage to us. Our contractor was wonderful. He's very knowledgeable and very nice and was timely and efficient. So, we're very happy with them.

We are a retired couple and we're older now. When the weather goes out, we don't wanna have to worry. I heard that Kohler is a little better now. At one-time, another brand's generators were better, but now the Kohlers are. The rep gave me a fair price and I was very pleased. The installer was very nice, attentive and everything was perfect. I have no complaints. He even put everything on my phone for me, so the information is online. It's great. I haven't had to use the generator yet, but everything's gonna be fine. It tests every Sunday morning and I can hear it, which is fine. I like being able to know it's on. I've had several people call me about the generator and my son bought one too.

Because of my age, I was sick and tired of dragging out the little generator and every four hours having to run it during a hurricane with trees falling all around us. I decided to buy a home generator from KOHLER. My husband worked in a facility as a director for hospitals, and that's what he said was the best so that was what we went with. The people we purchased it from also said that it was the best. During one of the test runs, it wouldn't run. We called our people that installed it and they came right out and it was just it had a bad battery. It's on a weekly check test run, and it ran well this morning.

We purchased our 20 kW Kohler generator in 2015. We were told that Kohler generators last longer than some of the other options even though they tend to be more expensive. We have a maintenance plan which costs more than $500 per year which includes twice yearly inspections, the most recent one was in November.. We have relatively infrequent power outages most of which last for just a few hours so the generator has less than 300 hours of run time.

I've been thinking about getting a generator for a long time. I already have a Kohler motor at my house and I like the Kohler motor. So I got a Kohler generator. I've had it on for eight hours when the power went out already since I got it and it automatically comes on the second the power goes off. I have an oxygen machine. It runs on electricity. I also have a nebulizer that I use, that I have to have electricity. So, when the power goes out, I don't have an oxygen machine or a nebulizer. The Kohler generator is just a good thing to have.

I bought about a dozen KOHLER generators for work. I work for a gas utility and we have the support in our most critical site. I monitor these things on my phone. They are our backup power that control our most critical rig stations and flow meters that supply all the heat for Anchorage in South Central Alaska and all of our power plants. When these don't work, we go cold and dark.

I would give Kohler generators a zero-star if that option was available. Purchased one in 2022. I am on my third engine and it now has a locked rotor error and doesn't work. Though our local electrician has been very responsive, I get virtually no acknowledgement from Kohler.

My wife's on oxygen and we couldn't afford to have her medical equipment go down. We bought a KOHLER generator and although we haven't had to use it yet, it's been fine. It's worthwhile to have a backup like that. It could be a lifesaver.

I love my KOHLER generator. While we just got it and we haven't had a power failure yet, it works great. It comes on once a week.

After the great freezeout, we decided that a generator was a nice piece of insurance. I read up on KOHLER and a couple of other brands. Then, I really liked the presentation that the salesman made. He was very professional and he answered all my questions. Also, I worked in a chemical plant, so I knew KOHLER from generators in the plant, which was another reason that I was looking at KOHLER to begin with. The installation was smooth right along. They did a good job and coordinated with the city real well. We listen to our generator turn on once a week as it automatically turns on from somewhere. I was told that I couldn't get an app to do it myself because it needed to be hardwired. So it's connected back to the home office.

I had a Generac generator before and decided I wanted to upsize it. Also, the unit started to have some issues. After I did some research on the internet and talking to my brother-in-law who is an electrician by trade, we decided KOHLER was the best choice. I've had a good experience with KOHLER. The service tech that came over and did the startup was very knowledgeable and we didn't have any issues getting the unit up and running. He helped us with setting the app up on our phone. So it does a test fire on a predetermined schedule and I get alerted on my phone every Wednesday that the generator is tested.

I decided to get a generator because I didn't wanna be without power if an outage happens. While we are not prone to outages, I just wanted to be protected. I went with KOHLER because they had a better warranty.

My neighbor had a KOHLER generator installed at his house, and he had a really good service from the installer. Also, he had the thing for over a year. So, through his recommendation, I selected KOHLER. It's a very high-quality product and the installers were very efficient. So far, the generator has been working as advertised. I got it in on September 15th and it comes on every Saturday for about 20 minutes.

Our KOHLER generator comes on automatically, so any time we need it, it's available. We probably used it five times already when we've had our power go out. We got the generator for peace of mind. Our power always goes out and we spent the money, and now we don't have to worry about it anymore. I highly recommend KOHLER. As a matter of fact, I did, and they bought one, too.

We're a New York State agency and we tend to individuals who have developmental disabilities. So, we need to make sure that the heat and the lights are always on. The three homes we did had portable generators and they were not effective. We needed something that comes on by itself since the power goes out all the time here. We got the KOHLER generators and they are good generators. They come on a few minutes after the power goes out, and they run until the power comes back on, and they switch back by themselves. They got an automatic transfer switch and they do what they're supposed to. They're easy to maintain and they last a long time.

I ordered a KOHLER generator in September which was delivered in March. I told them we don't have any gas in the house. We have to rent a gas line. So, the generator was installed, knowing that we had no gas, and it sat there for six months before gas was finally connected to it. I wanted them to give me some kind of compensation for all that. I kept calling and no one would return my phone call.

I researched stuff very thoroughly before I bought a KOHLER Generator. I compared it with the competitor, Generac. Where Generac is plastic, KOHLER got metal parts. It sits right beside my dining room window. I can’t hear it run. My neighbor has a Generac two houses down, and you can hear hers run. I told my aunt and friends to forget about Generac and go with KOHLER.

I like Kohler's price. The sales rep was very helpful. The generator is making me feel secure in case of a power outage.

My in-laws purchased a KOHLER generator. I looked at the product and I liked what I saw so I got one too. I'm happy because it came on whenever the power went out. It’s all good.

There's a dealer right close here that I knew which is why I went with KOHLER .I bought two generators as I needed them for the hog barns I built. I feed hogs and if the electric goes down, I need something to keep the barn running. It would automatically come on and pull heat out of the barn so the pigs don't suffocate. So far, I'm happy with it. I like how quiet they run and I don’t have to manually start them.

I first inquired about a Generac with Kansas Generator, which does all the advertising. But the guy has been doing KOHLER for years and that's what he recommended. He knows they're good. We got it in July in case the weather is cold and we’ll be without power and so, it would be an added protection. The guy who installed it was excellent. He worked by himself as it’s his own company, and his waiting list is close to a year but he came highly recommended. He's very fair. He did what he said and did it for a good price. Others’ prices were overpriced, even unethical. I got a quote for 96-kilowatt at $76,000 for the house and barn. It was ridiculous.

We have a lot of power outages where we're at in Florida. I did my research and, in my opinion, KOHLER had the best product. We’ve used the generator a few times for a very minimal time and, so far, everything's great.

I'm the facilities manager for Medina County for the county in Texas, and they had an existing Kohler generator at one of the locations. I like the fact that it could send me all the updates, when it's running, not running, or attached to the Internet. So whenever I needed to replace one, I go with Kohler because I had those capabilities.

We had a friend who did thorough research on the quality and the price, and the advertising people said Kohler was a better deal than others. We trusted their advice and went with Kohler. I appreciate how it checks itself weekly to ensure it’s working. We've had our Kohler generator for about two months now and the experience has been very positive.

The customer service was great when I purchased the generator. The generator is good. It exercises every two weeks. I like fact that if the power goes out, I'll still have power.

The installation of our Kohler generator was excellent. We received two different quotes from people that dealt with KOHLER and we were happy with the company that we went with. They had it done within a day and they had to do electrical work and bury the tank.

I wanna try Kohler out because I already had Briggs and Stratton one-time, so I wanna see how Kohler works. I bought it and it's working so far. When the power is out, you want your food to stay good and you wanna be able to protect your house with your alarms and all that stuff going on.

Our experience with Kohler was great. The electrician here recommended it and he said they're a little better than Generac, more reliable and easier to get parts for it. So, it really wasn't a hard decision for us to choose Kohler. Everything about the delivery and setup went great. It's a standby one and it does an exercise once a month and it seems really sealed up. It's a nice unit. It's not that loud, too.

The installation and sales were perfect. I love those ladies at Ready Power. They run on top of it. They broke a connection on the main hot water heater. They brought me a new hot water heater and put it in. The generator is all set up. But we had some problems with it. It took about two visits before they finally get it straightened out. They got it straight last week and we had one power outage and it kicked on and ran. But for the next two power outages, it never ran again, and couldn't crank it. But they got it all straight. They stayed there until it worked right. It just took a while. I bought the KOHLER because we live on a farm ranch, and every time I had a KOHLER range, it was always good.

I've got a Kohler engine on a lawn mower that we've had and they're just very reliable. I purchased a generator as well. It’s for my parents' house and they're both on oxygen. They had to have something just in case their power went out. I couldn't get anybody around here to sell me. I went through Lowe's and got it.

I had a generator previously and when that one died, the guy who maintained it recommended and installed the KOHLER. Everything went well. KOHLER was comparable to everybody else when I priced everything, and this is quieter than my last one. It cycles every Monday and it's cycled so far since this was installed.

I like KOHLER because they’re American-made. The parts are American-made. They’re made in Wisconsin. And if I need parts, I can get parts because they’re all made right there. It’s also a cast-iron engine versus an aluminum head engine. So, it’s gonna last.

We live in the country, so we needed a bigger generator than what we had. My neighbor researched it and he and I got the same 26 kW whole home generator. When we have power outages, it'll be nice that it'll automatically kick on. We don't have to worry about getting gas and bringing out the generators and extension cords. We found a company that does KOHLER and they also said it was a good product. With Generac, I couldn't get somebody to come out to install the power. I would tell people to definitely go with a KOHLER.

The KOHLER generator has been good. I got in touch with them through an electrician and I just got it for weather backup. I hadn't had to use it yet. It only turns on on a weekly basis and I can hear when that happens. So far, I'm happy with the product. The price is a good and it's worth it.

I had a whole home generator before and it saved our bacon a few times, so I decided to put one in a new home I was building. The fellow that came sold me the idea that KOHLER was better than Generac and it had a better warranty, so I switched to KOHLER.

I had the option between KOHLER and another brand. I did my research and found that KOHLER has newer technology and has better longevity. Installing it just took longer than normal. They told me it would be six to nine months and it took a year.

KOHLER was recommended by one of the contractors I deal with. So far, my experience with the generator has been fine, and I’m satisfied with it.
