Can I buy a warranty with this generator?

Honestly, I don't know, as I have only run the unit for a few minutes. I bought it as a source of power for my wine room should the electricity fail. If you find out that a warranty is available please let me know.

Mine didn't come with a warranty. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. The motor gave out on mine recently and it has had many problems prior to this.

I would ask the vendor or amazon. Most appliances have a minimum warranty period.

I wouldn't bother with a warranty. They are solid machines, just take care of the resistance rods and it will last years. Even if one breaks a replacement is cheaper than the warranty.

I have done that,but it breaks the warranty. If it has one, its fine though. I honestly think they work better on my solar batteries when I cut the wires and run them to it anyway.

My apologies, I took the generator to a vacation home and have no means of finding out this information at this time. It's a nice generator though!

I had the same problem. I called Coleman customer service, and they sent me a replacement generator assembly for free. It took me 15 min. To install, but the new one works fine so far.

I think the warrantee was one year..............We have had this generator for a few years now. We live in NH and it stays in an unheated shed. We lose power frequently due to winter storms. It powers our whole house including our well pump. Still starts with one pull.

Yes! This generator is a miserable piece of garbage. I lost power for eight days during Superstorm Sandy. My Makita had died during Irene. I was up in NH on business and as Sandy approached my wife called and told me not to come home without a generator because we were without power after Irene for nine days. I got the last generator left in the Job Lot there, the Stanley 8000 W, drove home, we lost power so I fired it up, and it died at 22 hours. I complained bitterly to the parent company of Stanley and they agreed to fix it under warranty but of course I was powerless and out $1500 for the generator but they couldn't do a thing for me other than that. They tried to tell me that it's not meant to run consistently and that it is more for contractors for occasional use for running a drill or a saw. What? 8000 Watts?! I ran my whole house on the Makita and it was 6500W. It took five months to fix it. Turns out they use plastic between the engine and the generator and it melted and froze everything. They replaced the engine, the generator part, the plastic, and more so I have a new machine, but I don't want it, don't want to run it, and have it on consignment where I had it fixed. There were three others of the exact brand and model there for repair also. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE LEFT IN THE DARK.

According to the dometic info it's supposed to have a one year warranty. But I have a question for a service center and have not had any luck in finding one in So Cal. Dometic recently began selling these and no service center I've talked to can work on them (or supply parts) yet.They're supposed to run a 13.5 ac but mine won't. It's possible that when I tried, some power was being used to charge the battery so not enough was left to start the ac. I'm going to test it again tomorrow and bypass the battery and see if it will run the ac.I'm planning on calling Dometic again to see what they can do to locate a service center that can work on this generator.

When I bought the generator, I had a problem with the carburetor. With one call, the replacement parts were shipped and the unit was up and running within a few days. The man I spoke with was knowledgable and efficiently fixed the problem. Have not had a bad experience with the unit. I use it with my RV, which requires a 30 amp power source. It runs everything just fine.

I have a Generac, and lucking for me when Sandy arrived. I was one of the only ones with electric, but after 14 days of use, you have to change oil and filter. Not sure if the motor can stand continued use. I think it best you check with a company supplying generators.

It's a very simple machine. Just change the oil every 50-100 hours. The generator came with a nice oil changing kit; use it (as it is a clean operation). Warranties and warranty work will cost more than the machine is worth!

That generator is the worst piece of crap I ever bought.Aviod it at all costs. You cant even get plugs for it without special order from the manufacture and they will NOT give you a size over the phone...I nearly froze to death as i was counting on it to keep me warm through a nort dakota winter. It failed on me 3 days after the warranty was up. Spend another $150 bucks and get a generac or some other kind.

I really don't know. Mine always starts quickly and I've never had any problems with it. I would suggest calling up the manufacturer of the generator.

I bought my leaf blower as a reconditioned unit with no paperwork so, I'm unaware of any warranties. I've only used it once and very satisfied with its performance. Maybe you should read all of the reviews on this unit to realize that this unit is most preferred.

I registered mine thru Ipower and they say it has a 2 year warranty, but yea contact the manufacturer they should help you out, and probably replace it for you, don't contact the seller unless you got it directly from Ipower.
