Product did it's job right out of the box.

Took unit right out of the box, added gas and oil and one pull, started right up. Had plenty of power to power up what I needed. Ran it for six hours straight. Saved my contents in fridge, freezer and keep my sump pump running. Wife asked if it could run the coffee maker. Yep it did. Well worth the purchase price!

Great generator, easy to use.

Great generator...Electric start is easy to use and starts right up..I bought this with the internet for my wife to use if the power goes out and I'm not home. Only gripe I have us with customer service.My generator was supposed to come with a 25 Amp extension cord and it didn't. I talked to 2 service reps who claimed they sent the cord.Still have not seen the extension cord.Besides for customer support,I love the generator.

Good value

While I only have a few hours on this generator, I've owned and used a few different models from different manufacturers. This one seem to be built on customer feedback. Simple features like the included fuel filter and the gas cap retention chain made me smile, along with the charging port for the battery and beefiness of the roll cage. Like many generators, it has a plastic choke lever, which I consider bad design. Its not a matter of if it will break, its when. There is plenty of torque on that lever. The included wheels aren't up to the quality of the rest of the product. They look and feel like they belong on a kids toy. I replaced them immediately with a better quality wheel w/ metal hubs and bearings. Otherwise, good product.

Quality Product made in the USA

The salesman was very helpful. every thing was in the box, great instructions. Put the wheels on, the front rubber pads, the handle, hooked up the battery cables, put the provided oil in, put gas in & started it right up. The reason I bought a Generac was that I also have a Generac pressure washer that is just as easy to start with a rope pull. Great company & products.

Saved New Family

I live in the Suburbs of Buffalo where the winters are awful. I bought this Generator as protection for my family when we needed it the most. We lost power for almost a day, my new family, including my newborn son were able to stay warm. If you want a Power House of a Generator, that can run Fridges, Freezers, light stoves and ovens, and keep the heat on! This is the BEAST - I mean, best to get ;-) Running a Fridge, Freezer, Furnace, and several lights and Electronics, gas lasted 6 hours. Unit has 5 gal capacity. Rule of thumb is an hour a Gallon to be on safe side. I am a Generac Customer for life. GP8000e with COsense is an amazing unit. Thank you.

GP15500 EFI *DISAPPOINTED *

I purchased and received my GP15500 EFI on July 11, 2023. I purchased the unit to supply supplemental power to my home, as we experience frequent multi-day power outages due to severe weather. As of yesterday, 07/29/23, we were subject to severe weather and lost power. I fired the generator up and started supplying power to my home. The unit worked flawlessly for 10 hours, getting me through the night. Woke up this morning, 07/30/23, and shut the unit down to let it cool before refueling. Went to get more fuel and when I returned home (30 mins later) I found that the top portion of the fuel tank imploded and collapsed on itself. I am in complete disbelief. This was supposed to be a reliable piece of equipment and at $4,000.00 I expected more. Yes, the unit is covered under warranty. However, no Generac certified repair shop is open on a Sunday and I estimate not having my equipment back for several weeks, figuring new parts will have to be ordered. The unit was assembled and maintained according to the manufacturer's manual (i.e, oil level, fresh fuel, proper storage, etc.) And only has 11.2 hours of run time. I went with Generac because of their exceptional reputation but now regret my purchase, as I have a $4,000.00 paper weight and no power. I may update this review once my equipment is repaired but fear I will run into the same issue in the future. I tried to add photos but I am unable to do so.

Must need

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what we needed for our camping trip. Gave us a sense of peace knowing we had a machine that would keep us comfortable. I love that it is gas powered because as long as we had that we were fine.

Ready for storm

After losing a fridge full of food, we bought a Generac inverter generator. Gp 2200. Ran a few hours break in then switched to synthetic 5w-30 for much better protection from high temps. Can run sump pump, fridge, freezer, washer and gas dryer. Obviously.not all at the same time, used watt meter and two at a time should be ok. Fairly quiet, starts easy, run dry after use. Turn carburetor screw with small hose on it to drain carb bowl. Most important, run ethanol free gas and add stabilizer!
