Great Generator!
I chose this based on experience with Kohler and reviews from Consumer Reports. You can tell it's quality made. Definitely heavy but comes with wheels and handle.
Pros:Features, Exceeded Expectations, Reliable, High Quality
Cons:Heavy

Still Uncertain About The Purchase Of This Brand/model
While operating this generator the first 5 hours, after which the first oil change is due, it developed an oil leak. It is currently at a service facility to address the leak under warranty.
Pros:Easy To Use, Price
Cons:Unreliable, Durability, Leaks before 5 hours of operation

"Electric Generators Direct was great to deal with. Just not sure about the quality of the product I purchased."
I Haven't Used The Product Yet, Not Sure If I Will
I haven't had need to use the product as of yet. I did call Kohler customer service to see what the best connection electric cords I should purchase to safely use the generator. Kohler referred me to a distributor in Tennessee, I called them and they were no help at all. So, I am still not sure what electric cords to use as of yet, I am very disappointed in Kohler customer service and their distributors customer service. You would think that you would specifically state which cord should be used in your literature.

Larry,
Sorry to hear about that you weren't getting your questions answered. Please keep in mind we're always here to help and can be reached during business hours @ 1-800-800-3317.
The Kohler PRO7.5E has 2 sets of standard GFCI outlets that you'd find in your home. It also has a 120V 30A (L5-30R) and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30) Twistlock outlets.
You can use standard extension cords on the GFCI outlets. And you can also use a 30-Amp Convenience cord like 30-Amp Convenience Cords
Finally did some testing while I ran the generator for the last of the 5hr break-in, the Genny works great so far. The only drawback is the auto throttle, the gen can’t be under any load for it to reduce throttle.
Specs I measured:
Frequency was 61.7-62.8, Well below a 5% thd for electronics
Voltage was between 121-122
Fuel: I ran my house for 3hrs during the last of the break-in process, my guess would be between 1.5-2 gallons
My panel is pretty much balanced. Something you should also do if you’re going to plug your house in. The power being drawn was between 3-12amps per leg. I didn’t hear the motor change pitch once when a bigger draw happened such as my fridge, freezer and/or heater.
All-In-All I’m very Happy with my new Generator, I’d recommend it.

"I realize it's a new product but I expected a little more info about the generator. Wheel kits you where advertising to use with the kohler where for a subaru.the dimensions of the generator with the wheel kit didn't exist yet.
As I said I realize it's a new product, just a little input from me, I would still buy from your company without giving it a second thought."
