Setup was easy. Starts easily. Plenty of watts for most everything in home. I ordered it during hurricane season but didn’t receive until later. It hasn’t been field tested in the real world. I did have a certified electrician install a whole house manual switch to make things easier. That was very expensive, but will be worth it. It will be easier to operate circuits using my existing breakers. I am sure the generac generator will do its job.

Set up is easy except for the battery connections. Took almost an hour to get them connected. Had to bend the positive lead tab inorder to connect it to the terminal. I think this could be easily fixed by rotating the battery 180 degrees and changing the length of the battery cables. The battery clamps would have to be also changed. Would be a bear for one person to assemble. Fortunitely i have a hoist in my garage. Started within 3 seconds. Would be very nice to have a volt and amp meter.

We had a standby 12K natural gas backup generator from Generac in upstate NY and when we moved to eastern North Carolina we had nothing so we decided to go with a portable. Purchased the Generac 7600E (electric start) and had a electrician wire a 10 circuit panel into our house circuits. When the power goes out, we just plug the generator into the house circuits, start it and turn on the house circuits 1 at a time. Works wonderfully. My only wish is that the electric start battery system had a meter to tell the user how much voltage was left in the battery. Overall cost about $1500.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This is an awesome generator! I love that it has wheels, this adds a lot of portability. I also love that you can power it with gasoline or propane, which is super versatile. It provides a lot of power, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.

We purchased this unit for Hurricane season. Low and behold we needed it this year. This unit ran our house, all electric, 1900 sqft, with no issues. We ran on this generator for 4+ weeks until power was restored. We were hit again with another hurricane a few weeks later and had to crank up the unit again for a week or so. This unit ran flawlessly and we lived as if we had full utilities. Now there are some downsides to owning this unit. It is heavy and can be difficult to move at times. It burns a lot of gas. We were going through two tanks a day, roughly 32 gallons of gas. Due to it's size you will need to be able to store it for later use. Taken all of the aforementioned in account, it is worth having when in the time of need.

I use this generator for home power during storms, I also use it in the garage for powering up my air comp. or any Electrical tool. This generator has an Elec. Start because I am a disabled Vet. So far I have not had any problems but it was a little hard to assy. it.

Great Looking Unit! The electric start is why I chose this unit. I installed the wheels, handle, put the oil in & connected the SUPPLIED BATTERY, put the gas in, hit the start button and it started right up. No more pulling the rope for this old guy! It does have a backup pull rope by the way. The unit even comes with charger to keep the battery charged also when not in use. Didn't see that with the other ones out there. This is a great generator and I'm glad I bought this one!

I purchased this product due to several power outages in the last months. Easy set up, with the electric start makes this product above the rest. I recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I also use this when I'm building a new barn or sheds. When ever you need power away from a power source, this product will take care of all your power needs !!! Excellent Product !!

I'm no Nor Cal and have been experiencing the PG&E Power Safety Shutoff. My neighbor had one of these 8000's and I was fortunate enough to find one as well. Electrician came and wired it into my panel and wow...my whole house just runs like it's on PG&E. Some little weird stuff to get used to, like when the well kicks on, the LED lights in the kitchen flicker for a second but no big deal. Hot showers (propane hot water heater), lights, etc. I go into a room and turn on the light...just like normal. Only complaint is it's loud so getting it away from the house is important but we just close up the windows and deal with a bit of a hum to have power.
