This product review explores everything you need to know about this generator, helping you decide if it’s the right backup power source for your needs.
Power, Versatility and Fuel Flexibility for convenience.
One of the KOHLER 60RCLB’s most appealing features is its fuel flexibility. Running efficiently on both natural gas and liquid propane, it provides you with the freedom to choose the most readily available or economical fuel source. The simplicity of switching between natural gas and LPG in the field means that users can adapt to changing fuel availabilities without complex procedures or downtime, ensuring a constant power supply.
Engine Efficiency and Eco-Friendliness.
The heart of the KOHLER 60RCLB is its KG6208 engine. Designed for both efficiency and durability, the engine’s natural aspiration and hydraulic valve lifters reduce the need for frequent maintenance, subsequently lowering the total cost of ownership. It offers exceptional digital voltage and frequency regulation alongside incredibly low levels of harmonic distortion. This means the generator not only efficiently powers your home or business but also safeguards your sophisticated electronics and appliances against damage from low-quality power sources.
Additionally, operating at a lower rpm (1800 rpm) means that the engine not only runs quieter but also contributes to lower emissions, aligning with eco-friendly standards and regulations.

Powered by the industrial-grade Kohler KG6208 engine, known for its durability and reliability, the 60RCLB stands out for requiring minimal maintenance. The engine, complemented by hydraulic valve lifters, negates the need for time-consuming break-ins and costly valve adjustments, operating smoothly at 1800 rpm. The RDC2 controller ensures your generator operates efficiently, managing both the generator and the optional Model RXT transfer switch. In terms of noise level, this generator sets a benchmark for quiet operation. With sound levels akin to a normal conversation during both full-speed and exercise modes, the KOHLER 60RCLB ensures your home’s tranquility and your neighborhood’s peace are undisturbed.
Furthermore, compatibility with OnCue® Plus and optional OnCue® Plus Wireless Generator Management Systems allows users to remotely monitor and control the generator, providing unparalleled convenience and peace of mind.
