A Great Generator System (with Local Tech Suppprt)
By Alex 
Texas
Purchased 07/23/2024 | 
Review Posted 08/26/2024 
I purchased this generator from Electric Generator Direct and installed locally. Once installed the OnCue app could not run the ECO cycle or the Loaded one got a great deal of tech support with Alberto at EGD but I am baffled with the complication of the installation manuals. Just make sure you have a good local tech support and you will be just fine. Once I found that all was simpler (including learning that Kohler is about to launch a new improved app) and that exercises can be run via the key board of the generator (rather than via the Transfer Switches).

Kohler 26KW is a Beast
By Doug 
Ohio
Review Posted 01/06/2024 
review 2 image 1
my new Kohler 26kw generator. Local electrical contractor delivered on their promise. I have an all electric 3400sq ft house with Bryant heat pump and electric air handler, electric hot water tank, well, also have electric baseboard heating in our bonus room. This thing is a beast, it handled everything in the house without a hiccup. Very happy I went with Kohler 26KW, love OnCue plus app. I can change the frequency and length of time for weekly starting, monitor the load during outage. This thing purrs like a kitten when running. Using LP 420 LB tank

In the 26-kW air-cooled RCA, Kohler has added much more capability to their line of quality products. We have installed many of Kohler's generators and this one is definitely the "top of the line". More power and quieter! What is not to like?
