This is a good combination of useful items for a generator. The 25-ft cable would make up 3/4 of the price if bought separately, and the Y-cable splitter is perfect. I was able to run the cable in through a window and use the splitter to plug in more than I expected. There is extra oil (and a funnel even) to change in the generator for after every 100 hours of use, so I'm good for 300 hours so far, plus fuel stabilizer if you're going to use your generator in damp weather. The included cover is ground-length, has velcro at the bottom to hold it together in the wind and has an opening to put the handle(s) of your generator through, so you can bring it out even when raining. Overall, I'm very pleased with the kit.
Pros: Easy to Use, All In One
Yes, I recommend this product.

This kit is OK. The only problem I had, was the funnel, which is too short. The other stuff; extension cable, oil, cover is good.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Well made cord, wye, and cover to help get things started with generator connections etc. The generator I bought came with a 15' cable and 240/120v end, and since I needed to use its 1 240V connection it turned out the "wye" splitter was not very useful. It uses the 240V combo plug to split into 120V outlets only; would have been nice if it included a 240V socket too. But it will be a good backup. The cover fit my Stanley 5000w gen well. The oil and Stabil are just enough for about 5 gallons to get you started but you will probably need to buy more.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This kit has all the items necessary to keep your
generator running efficiently. A real savings- sold
separately, the items included in this kit would cost
considerably more.
Pros: All In One
Yes, I recommend this product.

Product has good auxilliary pieces to augment use of the generator. It was well-packaged against damage and contained products (i.e., oil and fuel stabilizer) that will be used over time and replenished as needed. I would recommend that this product be included with offerings to those purchasing a basic generator.
Yes, I recommend this product.
