I purchased my RS 8000E for back up power in April of 2020 and had an electrician hook up a box to my breaker box so i have power to the entire house. In October we lost power for about 5.5 hours due to heavy snow and transformers were blowing out all over the area. We had just sat down for dinner with our three daughters and there boyfriends, needless to say we were the only home with power that I know of in more than a 2 mile radius. The generator worked great. I feel if you need it, it will pays for itself after just a few uses. I would highly recommend this generator.

Two weeks after installation of the generator and the GenTran switch we were hit with the "great November snow" in New England. Some people in CT were out of power for 9 days or more. We were out for the 10 minutes it took for me to wheel the generator out, plug it in, start it, and shift circuits to it. SMOOTH! Never a hitch or a glitch. I LOVE it!

Generator arrived very well packed. Initial setup was easy. Fired it up and put it on line with no problems. Very happy with product and feel I got a "good deal". If I were to make the product better I would give it a built in battery charger. The accessory style unit is okay, but is slightly inconvienient.

The GP8000E works well for running our whole house. We had an outage for 2 days and were able to run our whole house without any issues. We have a well water pump, AC, refrigerator, freezer, lights, etc. We did not encounter any issues. The portability works well for moving and storage.

Being a senior citizen,I needed less complicated products.This generator is exactly what I needed for me to maintain.Not as heavy as some and makes it easier for me to move it without help.Coming from an area with frequent storms causing power outages, this is just right for what I need..

I use my generator to power my house when the electricity goes out. It is sized just right for what I need. It is easy to start and set up. With the fold down handle attached it makes it very easy to maneuver the unit wherever you need it or to store it away. I have researched and used a lot of other generators and this is the best so far. I am very happy with this unit and I am sure it will bring me years of service.

As a homeowner, I am thrilled to have the generac generator. It was really easy to set up and it starts so easily with the electric start. Having a quiet muffler was also important to me. It' a convenient size to store in my garage and pull outside as needed to use.

Thorough research and customer satisfaction, were the basis for my selection. Review of the product was simplified by the product manual, which was most informative and easy to understand. I will be getting a quote for the home standby system as soon as possible. In Florida, a generator is as necessary as homeowners insurance.

I had previously owned a Generac 6500 and needed another unit due to the worst ice storm to hit in decades. I found a unit 3 hours away. It was worth the trip. I cut open the box, added the oil, handle and wheels. Put gas in the tank, and it fired up on the first pull. Quality I knew I could trust. It was worth the trip to bypass the lesser known brands.

I have supplied the house through 3 power actual outages since 2013 Dec for short duration's under 12-hours. Run the GP1750E every couple months to make sure it works when needed. Starts up on no more than 2=pulls / and right away when using the electric start. Load Test Run with 3-HP LPAC [Low Pressure Air Compressor 150 psig] for the sand blaster and other lights and equipment in pole barn. Also run Simulated Power Outage Load Test to supply the house VITAL LOADS connected to our 100 Amp Sub-Panel Load Center about 4 times a year. [[Main Breaker Panel is 200 Amp --- Sub Panel is 100 Amp for fuel-oil heat, well water, sump pump, electric water heater, freezers/refrigerators, appliances in kitchen, various lighting circuits.]] Have TV, Computers, MODEM-Router, Printers on their own UPS [Uninterrupted Power Supply] to give me time to setup generator to supply electric to house. Can set-up and power house in about 5-10 minutes. Great Generator for the $$$ --- only regret was I didn't get a 15-KW Generac automatic Stand-By unit --- but I live in the rural area without natural gas and didn't want to invest in propane just for a generator.
