I wasn't sure what generator to buy, but the many positive reviews of the GP7500E helped sway my decision. Everything is checking out so far: it was easy to assemble and it started right up using the electric start. I'm looking into installing a manual transfer switch next. I'm a little concerned about keeping the generator maintained and ready to go if I won't need it for years to come.

Purchased the unit in the morning and had it fully loaded up and operating that afternoon. It handled 6kw of electric heat without any issue which would be the maximum load I would expect to have on this generator in winter conditions. I have a generator panel so have the ability to switch load as I need it including heat, water pump,refrigerator, freezer etc. While I'm not looking forward to the next major power outage I do feel much more prepared for that event.

Bought this generator to run my equipment at stock shows. It'll run four 8 amp fans, and two 20 amp blowers at the same time. Has no difficulty starting all the fans at the same time, or the blowers. We put 35 hours running straight on it this weekend, and it didn't skip a beat in the Texas heat. I was worried that it would run out of fuel overnight and the cattle would get hot due to the fans quitting...I topped off the fuel tank at 9 PM, and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at 9:30 the following morning with it still running, with a half gallon or so to spare. Just make sure you keep the oil fresh and this generator will provide for you! Only complaint is that it is a bit on the loud side...but we just stick it on the other side of the trailer and it is muffled enough then. It does weigh about 200 pounds BEFORE a full gas tank...so have a buddy around when you're going to lift this one!

We bought a Generac brand new & it didn’t work straight out of the box. We’ve had 2 service calls & they still can’t figure it out. We’re waiting on another part. Parts take forever to get & then you have to call & chevk bc they don’t call you. Not happy at all!

Although we've only had the generator for a couple weeks it's already proved its worth. Sturdily built this champ can take it. We opted for a portable instead of a whole house so we could take it to our homestead in MO. Took me awhile to get power running because it wasn't clear the 240 circuit breaker was the breaker for the entire electrical panel not just the 240 breaker. *facepalm* I wanted to get a maintenance kit but couldn't find the one I needed for my particular model. Anyone know?

The generator was ready to gas up and start up when I picked it up at the dealer. It started immediately on the very first try and ran like a top. We installed the transfer switch and tested the generator with the same load I would expect during a power outage. It performed flawlessly! I have a good comfort feeling knowing we will be comfortable during our next outage.

I bought this after a hurricane last fall when my other generator acted up. Its a nice generator, starts on first pull. Was able to run freezers, refrigerators and coffee maker :). The only nuisance was the GFI. I had a refrigerator that kept setting it off so I couldn't power it. I understand it is code and safety, but when you need a generator its usually bad weather and GFI's don't like bad weather. All in all a great little generator.

Setup was easy. Starts easily. Plenty of watts for most everything in home. I ordered it during hurricane season but didn’t receive until later. It hasn’t been field tested in the real world. I did have a certified electrician install a whole house manual switch to make things easier. That was very expensive, but will be worth it. It will be easier to operate circuits using my existing breakers. I am sure the generac generator will do its job.

Ordered my Generac GP17500E after researching on-line and talking with friends who have Generac generators. To my surprise, it was ready for delivery in 1 day. Uncrated and assembled it in about 2 hours (instructions were good but could be more user friendly) and was impressed with the quality of construction. The supplied oil, spare filter, spark plug, etc., were added value. Very pleased with this generator and have recommended Generac to family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The power cord has 4 places to plug things into and that is a nice feature. It has a handle which is great as you can move it and lock it in place. It was also easy to move. Loved the weather covers for the plug. Some of the directions, however, could use improvement. Started right up. Sounds great as it is running. This is a really nice generator.
