I could not start my 6500. So I took off the carb. And cleaned it. After that it started right up. The next weekend I started it up no problem. This weekend, I tried to start it, no luck. I have new gas with stable in it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Bought GP8000E in Feb 2025. Only had to use 4 times, had no problems until now June 20, 2025. Now one of the GFCI output units keeps tripping after 7 seconds with nothing plugged into it. The reset button keeps popping out. Tried pushing the reset button also. The GFCI is bad, this problem should not be happening after only 4 uses. The unit is only 5 months old. Generac reports they have none of these GFCI units in stock and do not know when they will be available to ship. Generac service dealer tells me I need to leave the unit with them and possibly in 2 to 6 weeks they may get an new GFCI unit. UNBELIEVABLE !!!

When I opened the parts package there was oil over everything. Pumped up a flat tire and now both are flat. Had to purchase locking nuts to install the handle. It appears to work well, but your detail and instruction booklet leaves much to be desired. This replaces a 15-year-old 15KW unit, so am confident that it will perform well. Along with a spare air filter there was what appeared to be a "tickler" cable/plug, but no place on the generator to plug it in (when & if needed to restore the magnetic generator load).

Installed the Guardian 26kW whole house backup system and it is great. First time it came on there was a small flicker of our lights. I would not have even known it was running if not for the app. There is a certain comfort that brings - knowing we are well protected against utility outages! 5 Stars!!!

I purchased this model for my , home back power supply. It can handle all my needs such as power all my outlets , well pump , T.V. & Satellite . I been with out a gen before for over a week . You should speak to your local electrician about what you plan on powering . I can Run my electric hot water heater , but have to turn other things off if I need to make some hot water. we didn't feel it was necessary go larger , just to make hot water once a day .I highly recommend speaking to electrician before any purchase for all your needs electrical needs if you want a home back generator .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Generac generator! It puts out when we are in need. It can run my entire house, lights, stove, refrigerator, and window units. It looks great and it's handle makes it easy to pull.

GFCI trips when I plug in my refrigerator. CO sensor keeps shutting down my unit that is placed outside not even close to my home. I had to put a box fan under the handle to blow air across the unit to keep it running. I dont need the CO shutdown. Other than those 2 items I am impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t used a modern generator before - last one we had was 25 years old, was noisy, shaky, and we’d wear ourselves out getting it to start. Oh, and then there was the exhaust, smoke and low current. Not anymore! This thing is a dream. Arrived well packaged and was a breeze to set up. Basically you attach the wheels, front rests and handle and it’s ready to go. Well you add oil (included, along with a handy funnel) From there, startup instructions are well documented in the book AND on the generator itself. I really appreciate that there are easy to follow graphical steps on the unit itself for starting and running the unit. A few quick pulls and it was purring like a kitten. I haven’t had a chance to put too much load on it, but so far it’s easily powered everything I’ve thrown at it! The unit is heavy, feels like everything is high quality, and I expect it to last a long time. Definitely recommend!

I bought this generator at the suggestion of my contractor. He knows what I needed. The delivery was simple. Though you will need four men to unload if you don’t have a lift. It was delivered in good shape. It was easy to put together, though the print could be larger (need a magnifying glass). It took some figuring out. It started up super easy. Haven’t had to use it yet, but am confident it will do the job.

I looked all over and this is deffinetly the best generator for the money. You won't find a generator of this quality at a lower price. Took about 10 minutes to put everything together and I had the generator running in no time. The extra oil filter and air filter are a nice touch. Very pleased with my purchase. I expect this generator to give me many years of service and peace of mind.
