Life saver

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

Great Product

Bought this generator because of power outage. This is my 2nd GP 6500. Easy assembly except the store did not include the wheels. Started on very 1st pull and ran flawlessly. Noise level is acceptable. I cannot say enough about this generator. It easily handles my whole house. I had many neighbors come over asking about it and I'm sure that some of them are going to or did buy an identical. unit. It is nice to get your moneys worth.

Awesome!!!

We finally used our generator (after purchasing for a year) a couple weeks ago when a storm took out our power for 8 hours. We knew the storm was coming so we took our generator out (in a shed on a steep hill) and it was very easy to maneuver and hook up to the generator outlet. My husband has it already set up with the gas and oil so all he did was turn it on and we were set. I used to cringe at thinking of losing power but now it's no biggie...... My Dad even purchased the same one after we told him which one we got and he's had no problems either.

GREAT BUY!

I'm a dealer/ electrician in Massachusetts and honestly have had no problems with any of the (10) 6500w/e that i have received in the last few months. They are easy to assemble, start easily and with the large capacity tanks, they run all day long. I also like the free battery charger and built in jack. Great product!

Everything you need.

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.

Great Generator

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.

Great product easy set up and start

I love everthing about the 7500E. Elec start a must have for the wife. Did a lot of research and Generac was always at the top of the list. Runs great in all weather conditions. The only thing that would be great is if it came with a Generac 6112 - 30-Amp (4-Prong) Convenience Cord w/ 4-20 Amp Outlets.

So far, so good

Bought this in the summer before we really needed it. Last winter, we were without power for 3-4 days after an ice storm. You couldn't find a generator at any store for miles around. We ended up using small inverters hooked up to the vehicles to power our deep freeze. I haven't used this one yet under load, only to make sure it started and ran a power drill. So far, so good.

everything I hoped for

the 7500e arrived on time and within an hour it was setup and tested. it starts immediately and purrs like a kitten. when we did a load test we were happily surprised. the watt meters showed that we could comfortably operate our home with power to spare. the value we derived from this purchase will give us years of electrical security. thanks Generac for a product well done1

Hurricane Auxiliary Power

I bought a GP8000e 3 years ago but didn’t need to use it until now. I turned this generator on Wednesday night after hurricane Ian had passed. It’s been running for 5 days straight. I do change the oil every day, not sure if that’s necessary. It’s been running the lights, two air conditioners, tv, refrigerator… I’ve even used the washing machine.
