I would like this generator more if the battery lasted longer and if it would not have problems starting. After 3 batteries I believe I fixed the battery issue. However, sometimes it does not want to start. This is very frustrating when our power goes out. I can eventually start the generator, but it is not easy. And it is almost impossible to start with the pull start. Unfortunately, this generator cannot run our heat pump. That is my bad for not doing enough research. But once it is running, the generator can run everything else in the house. This is important because our house is all electric.

My wife and I purchased this generator because of an underground fault in our electrical service. We had it wired into the main breaker panel to power our well-pump, boiler recirculating motor, freezer and two refrigerators and miscellaneous lights at night until we’re able to restore our main service. I can’t tell everyone enough what a lifesaver this product has been the last week. Total amperage draw on the above listed items is around 7amps and this unit will provide 30 amps max. So we have had to sacrifice “ Nothing “ this week with our current delema. Highly considering a Generac home back up unit in the near future. We also own a propane powered Generac unit in our fifth wheel that is also amazing and quite. Thanks Generac

I started not to purchase a generator for home use.Since I purchased this generator I have had to use it 3 time this year.I was out of power more this year than in the last 18 yrs at my home.All I had to do was fill the generator with fuel an let it run.I could stay at home an have all the power I needed.BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE.GENERAC SAVED THE DAY FOR ME.

I live in North Georgia, we have ice storms and snow storms and tornadoes, even tropical storms that knock out our power from time to time. My house was prewired for a generator and has a transfer box. This unit was pretty much a plug and play situation. It easily runs the heart of the house more then adequately. For the last 3 years we have had to use it for every year for anywhere from 4_days to 2 weeks and we ran it 24/7. Other then changing the oil and replacing the starter battery, its been maintenance free. I heartily recommend this unit to anyone that needs a generator.

I purchased my 1st Generac Portable, a 5 KW, 25 years ago. We lived in a suburb with frequent power outages. Since then we have relocated 4 times and it never failed me. The only problems were it was a "pull start" (I am 75 years old) and my power requirements have increased. I purchased another Generac. I wanted to stay with a winner. The 7500E powers my entire home, (and the air conditioning), and it starts at the flick of a switch. I gave the 5KW to a young fellow, a new home owner recently married. We had a power failure 2 weeks ago. Now instead of one happy Generac owner, there are two.

I stopped in Lowe's, 5 miles down the road, and bought the generator due to storms damaging electric lines. Easy to assemble, instructions easy to read, put oil and gas in it and fired it up. It’s been providing electric to the house for over 40 hrs, no issues. It’s wired to a transfer box then into the house, and I selectively control the house breaker panel for needs. I keep the water pump, water heater, TV, Internet, and lights on all the time. I selectively control whatever else I need. At night I have a box fan running and can’t really hear (25 ft from the house) the generator. Great product. Buy it! I love the electric start. Wish they had a separate power outlet for charging the battery, instead you have to use one of the 4 120 VAC outlet provided. I made a 1 ft extension cord with three female plugs, and mounted the cord to the frame Now I can charge the battery, and still use the outlet for multiple items. Buy it

I just assembled the generator today less than an hour. Added the oil provided poured in about a half gallon of gas for a test start. Fired right up. Tested the outlets everything seems to be working fine. Replacing an older smaller unit 20 plus years old. I like the electric start and the operator friendly controls. Not wishing for another power outage but I think I'm prepared. This unit is a little wattage than my old unit and should do all that I need.

Just purchased this unit. Easy to assemble and service to run. Started in just a couple of revolutions. Low idle works as ment too. When power is needed it throttles up. Started my 4 hp compressor for initial test. No problem. I would recommend this unit.

Best value for price. Easy assembly. Started right up. Ran my pool pump, kegerator, deep well cooler, 1 window ac unit, 1 in wall ac unit with ease. It didn't even strain. Refrigerator and house lights are on solar, battery backup system. I did not try running central ac, stove, although it probably would if other loads were shut off. Connected my oscilloscope while under load. Voltage and frequency right on. Very clean pattern. More than happy with power output, quality.

This generator weighs over 200# but with the wheels on, it is easy to move around. Assembly was easy and I had it running in no time. Took my time, made sure all connections were secure and it fired right up. Pluged in a light and it worked just fine. Haven't had to use for emergency power yet, but now I am ready.
