Great in an emergency

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generac portable generator has come in real handy during our spring storms. We've had bad storm blow through our area this year and power goes out easily. My husband hooked up the generac to our fridge and a few other household things and it may our time without power so much easier. It is not very loud and it's easily to move around. When our power came back on we brought it to our sons house so they could run things Everyone's benefits from this.

Terrible services for defective products

Unit was defected. No output power. None of authorized shop recommend can fix it. Could not refund to due to crazy FleetFarm policy. Running around for 2 weeks trying to get it fix. Loss $20 to drain gas not cover by warranty. Terrible experience. Don't recommend it.

Great Unit

I purchased about a month ago. Generator arrived in good condition, and unpacking and getting ready to use was well instructed, but a bit more time consuming than I had thought it would be. Only "semi-complaint" is the unit is very loud. It would get a five star from me if the muffler system made the unit a bit more quiet.

Great, dependable product

Purchased to replace a 12 year old Generac 6500 that I use for emergency power. As I live along the Gulf Coast it doesn’t take a hurricane for us to loose power. Ran 8 days on generator power Zeta and the ol’ Generac didn’t miss a beat. After quick final assembly, oil and fuel this new unit fired up on the second pull. Looking forward to not having to concern myself about power loss for another 13 years!

Bad Features I am an Electrical Contractor

I had Purchased This Unit From CED in Hudson on May 14th 2025. Brought it home Installed proper gas and oil Tried to start it it started for a few seconds so I called Generac They told me to take it to be serviced at MacDaddy's Small engine repair in Land O lakes. They still have it there, It had faulty Parts. Your Company would not replace it.

Not impressed

We bought a Generac brand new & it didn’t work straight out of the box. We’ve had 2 service calls & they still can’t figure it out. We’re waiting on another part. Parts take forever to get & then you have to call & chevk bc they don’t call you. Not happy at all!

My Generator

This generator is a beast, I haven’t had a power outage yet but I ran it for 12 hours on a tank of gas just to try it and it didn’t miss a beat, I could run anything in the house with no problems, it’s a little expensive but anything that’s worth having usually is especially in the winter months in Michigan and I am so glad I have a backup plan 😊

Not impressed with Generac equipment and parts

Bought GP8000E in Feb 2025. Only had to use 4 times, had no problems until now June 20, 2025. Now one of the GFCI output units keeps tripping after 7 seconds with nothing plugged into it. The reset button keeps popping out. Tried pushing the reset button also. The GFCI is bad, this problem should not be happening after only 4 uses. The unit is only 5 months old. Generac reports they have none of these GFCI units in stock and do not know when they will be available to ship. Generac service dealer tells me I need to leave the unit with them and possibly in 2 to 6 weeks they may get an new GFCI unit. UNBELIEVABLE !!!

First impression, this is heavy and more than I ne

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generac 9500 is nice. However it is heavy, like 265 lbs. I thought I would be able to use it more but not a lot of opportunity at this point. It stays tucked in the garage. It does make some noise but not as load as my old air compressor. Overall I think it is a good product I just don’t have a lot of use for it. I requested it to see if this app would sent me something that big. Knowing Influenster will I will be more targeted in the future. Initial impressions on the 9500 are great. That being said I am not a hard use.

This generator is a beast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Generac GP9500E Tri-Fuel is a fortress of reliable portable power. It stands out for its substantial output, multi-fuel adaptability, and safety focus. While it leans into simplicity over tech-savvy features and isn’t the lightest or most efficient, it packs an outstanding value for serious backup power needs.
