[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With hurricanes coming this is definitely perfect to use. It’s not small but also not big . Heavy duty. Generator. I am very pleased with this for our home.

Saved our sanity after hurricane Irene hit Long Island. We were without power until I purchased this fantastic piece of equipment to give us power and life back in our house. Tony G

This generator is now backing up my 2,600 sf home. Assembled easily, and started up in seconds. Thinking about buying another one for my mom and dad. Great product.

Easy to setup - like electric start - Oil access could be easier - run immediately for trial 15 minutes - motor sounds good - but hope we don't get any "Sandy" soon Luigi, NY Long Island

We have 5500 watt model over 5 years old that runs better with portable welding equipment. this new GP 8000 cuts off, tripping the circuit breaker whenever we run a portable welder.

Purchased unit for service truck. Strong quality construction. Truly like the fact that Generac rates there units for continuous running watts, not just peak as others do. Great purchase price and ease of assembly.

After a lot of research we went with the generac generator and have been happy with the product so far. We have not had to use it in an outage yet but set it up and tested it easily.

The machine i have only has .5 hrs that right half of an hour and metal fuel tank is completely rusted out and now carburetor needs to be replaced as well. I want a plastic tank for the machine

Clear, detailed instructions made setup easy. After setting up started first pull. Having purchased the unit for emergency I hope to never need it however, I may use it to power an electric string trimmer and blower, just to get to use it!

this is my second generac, the first one is 13 years old and still runs perfectly . The new gp 7500 has the power I need currently and I'll keep my old 4000 extended life unit as a backup.
