We frequently are affected by power outages so an emergency power source is a necessity. We chose the 7500E because of the electric start and the 7500 watts ,in less than 5 minites we are powered up and comfortable. I highly recommend a transfer switch,it makes the transition to standby power effortless. The 7500E provides more than enough power for our home.

Bought the 17.5 KW to run my whole house, including the well. My wife is dependent upon ventilators to help her breathe and I needed a generator big enough to run the well and AC units since we have several power outages a year due to hurricanes and storms.

Only used in one power outage. Handled two fridges, a furnace, large TV, some lights without a glitch. Easy to manuver with the furnished wheel assembly. In the process of installing a seperate manual transfer panel to hook up 30 amp twist lock into the house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is perfect. Has a quick start button to make it easy for me to start. It operates off gas, propane or natural gas. It is quiet during running which is a great plus. Has a handle and wheels to make it simple to move around to where it is needed. Large enough to keep me in civilization during power outages.

We lost power due to a storm and it was going to be at least of couple of days before it came back. I bought this one in a pinch but hindsight I'm really glad I did. Very easy to operate and starting was a snap. I was easily able to run my two refrigerators and three freezers, with room for more. I'll get this tied into the house and be able to run my well and furnace as well. Great product!

I bought 3 years ago and used it this past 3 days straight with no issues. I ran 3 refrigerators, all the lights in the house, garage door openers, electric heater, coffee pot, and toaster over. Really impressed with the power output. Plus the tank is fairly big, and last a long time once topped off. Only con is that it is really loud.

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!

Bought it during an ice storm, no power for 4 days. It powered our whole house, however our house is new and very efficient all lights are LED. gas heat, water heater, dryer. Gas tank was large enough to run all night-NICE! only down fall is there is no gas tank drain, will need to siphon gas out of tank to run engine dry for long term storage as we seldom are without power.

i went to specifically buy this generator after much research....I wanted electric start and a quieter portable...I got it on sale which was a real surprise....Put the oil and gas in , attached battery cables and it fired right up instantly.....Way quieter than my neighbours generator of another make ....Works great ...very happy

I purchased this unit (GP17500E) for home backup power for my CT home. I have been trying to get a dealer / service rep to assemble the unit at my house - for a fee- and spare me the effort of having to lift a 400 pound unit to assemble the wheel kit (I have a bad back)....So far all the service reps in CT have turned me down. One told me they are not taking any more portables...Just be aware that if you purchase this product you'll be on your own trying to assemble it...
