Easy set up and operations

I purchased this generator for my parent who needs it as a home back up power supply when she loses power because of storms and I'm not able to stay with her. I own a storm boss generator, it always starts and works great. So I wanted to stay with generac. This unit has electric start which makes it easy her. It runs great.

Just what I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this generator a few times since getting it and I have been extremely happy with the product. No issues or concerns with starting and it provided more than enough power to supply my home during the outage.

Should do what it is designed to do

It was a gift from a son-in-law. I have started it but have not used it as we are still trying to get our house wired for it. One complaint was that the manual with it was not very good so I had to down load one from the web site. Also it arrived without the axle but when I called Generac they shipped one right away.Since it is so heavy I had to get help in installing the wheels and axle. The Generac people(Power Solutions ) in Jasper, GA did send a man over and he did the work for me and made all the proper assembly needed and was very friendly. This generator is to be used in case of power outages that we have often..

overall a great product!

Got my generator yesterday, a day sooner than I expected.The delivery man was very nice and pleasant to talk to. Opened up the generator and was pleased with the look. It took a day to find time to get it running, but when we did it ran just fine. we have a Generac 5000 that doesn't have the electric start and my husband can no longer start it, that is the reason for the new one.. Thought we could hook it up to the old switch, but it is only good for 6000 watts, so must get that problem resolved. other than that, very pleased!

excellent quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in Florida we often get hit by pretty bad hurricanes during the summer months .Having a young child in the house can be a bit tricky and stressful at times especially when there is no cold air or nothing cold to eat or drink .I love the fact that this generator is so easy to operate and move around that i can work it myself without the help of hubby .I love this beings he works and isn't always around so being able to power , hook up ,and move the generator by myself is a must . There is a fuel gauge on the top part of it so knowing when your fuel level is getting low is pretty easy .The hour meter on it i like also so i can determine how long i have ran it for .I like the overall design and features it offers . There is a fold down handle which makes it easy to move and nice for storage . It was designed to shut itself down if the oil level becomes too low to operate safe guarding the equipment from damage .Very easy to assemble right out of the box . I also like that when its running the sound coming from it isn't to loud like other brands i have used in the past . Overall a nice generator for the money

Worth every dollar invested!

After losing power for 9 days during Sandy, and just missing the bullet during the winter of 2014, we decided to quickly purchase this generator to avoid future problems. Based on earlier research I looked for a Generac and found one by luck at a local dealer. The generator is VERY easy to start and use, and powers almost our entire home - no need or a full house unit! Excellent price - including transfer box installed about $2000 total - well worth it for peace of mind!

We'll be ready next time!

We have lived in PA for year and half and have lost power twice for a week each time. We have done our research, and we are so pleased with the GENERAC 7500. Delivery was quick and easy, putting it together out of the box was quick and easy. Our electrician is installing an interlock into the circuit breaker box, so we will be trained and ready for the next "this never happens" storm that knocks out power. We are on a well, and have a sump pump. Having this generator gives us such relief in knowing we can still operate most of our home off the grid temporarily. Also, how cool that if we need to take it on a camping trip, we can load it into the truck and go! Awesome idea!

GP7500e

Live in rural area and lose power at least once a year. Wanted portable generator that would power well, fridge/freezer and heat. Generac 7500e fit the bill after reviewing other generators. easy to use and was able to combine it with a manual transfer switch for the house.

Done

Generac has been around four years. I have used them in the past and will continue to use them in the future. The unit is fairly heavy which makes it hard to move around but you have so much in that account back please I can understand why it's so heavy. my unit fires up real fast and runs a long time and one tank of fuel.

Generac GP6500E TF Generator – Our Honest Experien

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were fortunate to be selected as part of a Generac campaign and were given the opportunity to try out the Generac GP6500E TF generator. After putting it to the test, we can confidently say: this generator is absolutely outstanding! Watch my video you can hear the noise level. For such a large generator it’s not loud, loud! Compared to our old (small, little dude) DuroStar generator, the difference is incredible. See my side by side comparison of the two generators. The old one was unable to power our whole home. Mainly had it to keep the fridge on and perhaps a lamp. As you can see from the photos, the Generac is much more compact, yet it delivers so much more power and efficiency. It’s designed to handle major loads — from running a huge RV to keeping an entire home powered. In fact, we’re currently in the process of wiring our home to connect it directly, so during the next round of severe North Texas thunderstorms or tornado-related outages, we’ll be fully prepared. What truly impressed us: • Tri-Fuel Capability: The GP6500E TF runs on natural gas (NG), liquid propane (LP), or gasoline, giving us incredible flexibility depending on what resources are available during an emergency. Need different ways to be able to source power! • Reliable Startup: It starts up easily and quickly every time, which is critical when you’re dealing with unexpected power outages. As you can see just the push of a button. • Quality and Efficiency: Generac has a stellar reputation, and after experiencing this machine firsthand, we understand why. It’s thoughtfully engineered, highly efficient, and feels durable enough to last for years. • Easy Assembly: We had it fully set up in about 15 minutes. The instructions were clear, and we also watched a couple of their setup videos on YouTube, which were incredibly helpful. • Peace of Mind: With a young child at home, having dependable backup power isn’t just convenient — it’s essential. This generator gives us the confidence that we’ll stay powered and safe, even when the grid goes down. Our close friends down the road are gonna get one now! They came over and checked it out. They have kids too. So having power is important for them as well. Our power grids out here and very unreliable. One night all it took was someone hitting one pole in our town to knock out all the subdivisions power. Even though we didn’t purchase this unit ourselves, we would absolutely invest in Generac products in the future based on this experience. The GP6500E TF has exceeded our expectations in every way. We can now rest easy knowing that no matter how bad the weather gets, we’ll have the power we need to stay comfortable and safe. Love the solar options they have on their website! We’re campers so definitely gonna get one of those. I need to crockpot it in the forest!! Thank you, Generac, for selecting us to be part of this campaign and for delivering such an incredible, reliable product!
