    About

    The Kohler 14RESAL is part of the Generators test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Home Standby Generators models like the 14RESAL are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Power delivery: How much wattage models delivered and how well they handled surges in power demand over various loads.

    Power quality: A generator's ability to deliver power smoothly, with consistent voltage.

    Noise: Measured at 23 and 50 feet from the generator. We recommend hearing protection for standing close by the unit while it's running.
