I looked at many different generator brands online, and I kept returning to the Generac. I liked the idea that they build their own engines for their generators as well as the fact that Generac is a proven name. Plus, the price was comparable with other generators in this capacity range. Setup was simple, and the generator started almost as soon as I hit the switch. The electric start with included battery was also a big plus.

Although we've only had the generator for a couple weeks it's already proved its worth. Sturdily built this champ can take it. We opted for a portable instead of a whole house so we could take it to our homestead in MO. Took me awhile to get power running because it wasn't clear the 240 circuit breaker was the breaker for the entire electrical panel not just the 240 breaker. *facepalm* I wanted to get a maintenance kit but couldn't find the one I needed for my particular model. Anyone know?

I have had this unit for three years now and fortunately have not needed it......yet. I do maintain it regularly and it seems to run well One question......is there a specific position that the start switch should be in when the generator is stored and the battery is charging (supposedly)..? The push start will not work any time that I try to start it....I always have to resort to the pull start. This will be hard for my wife if I am at work when we lose power.....one of the reasons I chose this unit. I store it with the battery charger plugged in as recommended but the battery never has enough to start the unit. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought this generator just in case,let me tell you it pay for itself after we got hit with Hurricaine Sandy,we lost power for about 5 minutes that took to connect it to the transfer switch,very well and performed superb,plenty of watts to keep with the normal life even after the power is out...Love it!

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

Bought this as a replacement for a Coleman 5500 Vertex that quit producing power. Assembly was straight forward for the wheel kit and handle. Started right up and is noticeably quieter than my old unit. I like the pull cord backup if the battery is dead. Its also nice that is has a fuel gauge. My complaints are the non-charging engine so the battery is only charged from the included 120 volt charger. The other complaint is the electric start switch is on the front panel of the unit and the choke which you have to set before starting and then adjust/turn off upon starting is on the end of the unit. Either move the switch near the choke or add a choke adjustment cable pull on the front panel.

I bought this for my 5th wheel after experiencing a power outage, it has a 4 prong 30amp plug, and several 20amp plugs. There is a Y adapter that can be purchased after market to plug into the 30amp and the 20amp and then to your 50amp RV plug. This lets you utilize at least 45 amps from your generator. Now I can power both A/C units when on portable power.

Like so many others, going 7 1/2 days without power during the freak October Nor'easter SUCKED! I bought the GP7500E for back up power. Great unit! Easy assemble out of the box....was up and running in 15-20 minutes. We will never be without power. What a relief knowing we won't have to go throught that again! I recently had a friend who's an electrican install a 10 circuit transfer switch. This unit has plenty of juice to power everything we hooked up and then some. Hopefully we won't have to use it too often but, if it goes dark again.....we're ready! Thanks Generac

I purchased this generator because the Generac generator that I had, shut down. The push rods smashed down enough to come out of the springs and not allow the valves to open and close. The only negative opinion that I have would be that the generator should come with the necessary plugs to plug into the generator. I had to go another night without power because by the time I got the generator running it was late and when I went to plug in the cord it had a different plug.

This is by far the best Generator I have ever owned and operated and I have owned a total of 8 different ones. It powered my home during a recent black out effortlessly for days. It sips fuel and tell you how long it will run, etc. Always a very quick starter and is instantly ready to provide the necessary power. I would buy another one without and hesitation due it's quiet, efficent operation.
