I purchased two Generac portable generators. This one is the GP3600. It has been an excellent unit. We are off grid and use our generators to supply power to our homes. The GP3600 is capable of running a standard household refrigerator, microwave, and ice maker simultaneously as well as miscellaneous electronics like a modem and computers. It also handles power tools like worm drive saws, drill press, wood splitter, etc. I will definitely be purchasing another unit similar to this one.

I purchased the GP17500E to replace a Generac 15KW/22.5KW generator that I purchased new over 15 years ago. It is noticeably quieter than my old unit ( which still functions perfectly and is now my emergency backup ). Being that we live in S. Florida, having a reliable generator is extremely important. I had numerous brand options, but chose to go with a brand that has served me flawlessly for over 15 years through many hurricane related extended power outages. When you really NEED a generator to work; you will be glad you purchased a quality brand like Generac. I now own 4 Generac units. Two GP3600's for running several small window AC units 24/7 and my big GP17500 and my older 15KW model. Due to limitations on fuel storage, we only run the big unit 4-5 hours a day.. the little units will keep us at a comfortable temperature all day and night powering the window AC units using much less fuel.

Got the generator the eve of the 2015 blizzard. Setup was a snap and starting was even easier. This was a replacement for a older generator I had and between the two units genarac wins hands down, would recommend it to anyone even if your not handy with mechanical things. my grandma could put this together.

Purchased the gp6500e in case of power outages from hurricane Irma. Works exactly how you would expect. Instructions could be better but common sense goes a long way. The single quart of oil brings the unit just past the low mark on level ground, good thing I had backup oil on hand. Battery came with enough charge to start it right out of the box. Has been running constantly with no hiccups. 9/10 Would buy again!

Very poor. Bought GP6500 just after Helene last year. Took 2 days and a lot of energy (it gave me a good workout pulling the starter) to get it to start. I tried leaving a review then at Generac's website using the link they provided, that didn't work either. I bought another generator, better quality, different brand, for reliability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just assembling this generator you can tell that it is very well made. I'm an engineer, and I have a number of pet peeves when it comes to machining, and this generator exceeded my expectations. It was a very short and very sturdy assembly and you could see how the unit had been factory tested. Everything was packaged well. This is a great emergency generator with enough power to power up your basic needs in the case of a power outage. I highly recommend it to keep on hand.

Nice unit easy to set up fired right up gave it a quick check up and so far so good. I Purchased this unit as a precaution mainly to have the ability to keep the essentials functional during prolonged outages (our area is prone). At this point I am waiting for my electrician to obtain the necessary parts to complete a proper safe and legal hook up. I hope to say farewell to frozen pipes,stubbed toes,and spoiled food.

I researched a host of generators before deciding on the Generac GP6500. For me the Generac brand was the deciding factor and the GP6500 was the largest wattage I could fit into my budget. It was shipped promptly and arrived without so much as a scratch on the box. Assembly was quick and easy. Had a transfer switch(6 breaker) installed and everything in the house is usable except central air and washer and dryer. The generator started up on second pull and roared like a lion but powered everything I wanted it to power with room for more. I couldn't be happier. Almost looking forward to the next power outtage because I am ready for it now. I have not seen anything on this generator that is not well built and ready to last for a long time.

After many many weeks of research online and through fellow friends and co-workers I finally decided to go with the overall top recommended brand Generac. I went to Lowe's to pick up my unit when I get home I was like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the features and how well it was made very impressed to find great craftsmanship and equality is still preserved in these hard working machines. I definitely recommend Generac has the top brand especially flipping in the mountains of New England where power outages are common.

With three consecutive NorEaster's this past March, power outages were commonplace on Cape Cod. Tired of being with out power, I researched generator manufacturers and dealers. Deciding upon the GP 8000 was a good decision. Fuel efficient, fairly quiet, many options, and most importantly ease of use. I travel frequently and wanted my wife to comfortable running it if needed. Not being mechanically astute, she quickly grasped the concepts and was comfortable operating the generator. Definitely recommend.
