I have owned Generac generators since 1999. Have had great service and reliability. I live in Florida and we deal with storms regularly. With my wife retired and a disabled grandson at home, I need a unit that will power the whole house. If I have to go to work during storm recovery, my wife only has to worry about putting gas in the generator to have comfort. It starts with a push of a button! This new 15000 watt machine arrived and works perfectly. I highly recommend Generac to everyone I know. This new unit is heavy, but the portability and price were great!

Bought this as a replacement for a Coleman 5500 Vertex that quit producing power. Assembly was straight forward for the wheel kit and handle. Started right up and is noticeably quieter than my old unit. I like the pull cord backup if the battery is dead. Its also nice that is has a fuel gauge. My complaints are the non-charging engine so the battery is only charged from the included 120 volt charger. The other complaint is the electric start switch is on the front panel of the unit and the choke which you have to set before starting and then adjust/turn off upon starting is on the end of the unit. Either move the switch near the choke or add a choke adjustment cable pull on the front panel.

Straight off the skid, gas and oil added and my Generac fired on the first pull. Even my gf has no problem firing it up. We're doing major alterations on a cabin and use the generator at least 4 days per week. Surprising how long it runs on a tank of fuel. I ckeck it several times daily and swear somebody is sneaking gas into the tank. It's a bit noisy, but outside where that doesn't matter. Before retirement, I'd been in construction but never had the opportunity to use a generac. Those boys don't know what they're missing. I'm completely satisfied, and have already boasted about my great choice. When the work is complete, my Generac will be set up for back-up power. I feel secure knowing it can be counted on in a pinch !!!

I purchased this machine to replace an older smaller unit. The sale price made it very attractive, so I purchased. The unit works well, starts quickly and puts out enough power for most rural homes. I live in an area where the power goes out 3 to 4 times a year for more than 4 hours so a back up is very necessary. This unit will run a deep well pump, furnace, freezer and refrigerator at the same time with power to spare for lights and some electronics. I also like the gas shut off valve that came on the machine. I shut off the gas then let it run out to clean out the carburetor. This keeps the carb clean and working as today's gas is so poor and eats any rubber parts and seals in the carb. The built in handle and wheels make this no harder to move than my older smaller unit.

I recently purchased two GP8000E CO2 sensing Generac, one for my house and one for my Mom. Easy to put together, start, and store! They start right up and are surprisingly fuel efficient. My Mom is 71 and has no trouble starting and operating the generator! We have used it several times since June and have been very pleased!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator was fairly easy to put together, the wheels roll this generator around with ease also handle makes it very easy to help wheels move. I love this product is very portable, this generator looks to be very heavy duty. This generator has a generous amount of 3 prong plugs, that have a rubber cover to keep these plugs in great condition when not in use. It has a hour meter which is pretty awesome to let you know your aproximate running time. This generator is very easy to start and can be transported in vehicle if needed. This product is definately great if there is a emergency and you need light etc. This generator is very well made of hard metals and hard plastics, all bolts hold parts securely in place. I love the directions are written clearly on generator no fumbling through thousands of pages, it has everything from dangers to warnings and pictured instructions how to properly function device. You can also visibly see what every button and switch is for so there is no confusion. This generator is brightly colored on top so I can definately spot this generator in my garage with no stress or searching. I used generator for a t.v and a couple lights and it worked great had a long runtime and was very surprised how much poewr this generator has. I am very happy with this product I would definately recommend to others.

I've just received the generator last week and have tested it for about 10 minutes. It worked perfectly, but I'm yet to test it out in case of a loss of utility power over several days! Since I selected this model, I feel it will come through in powering up the essentials of the house with no problem.

I purchased my GP6500 primarily to run power tools. I have a large lot which makes it impractical to use an extension cord. I opened the box and followed the instructions on assembly which was easy (putting oil in the machine, wheels on etc.). I put gas in it and it started flawlessly. I have run a 15 amp table saw and shop vac simultaneously with no problem. In addition, I plugged in a power washer and ran it for hours without an incident. When you start it and hear it run you can tell it is a quality machine. It has a lot of power and runs very smooth. I even use it when I have access to power because I like it so much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no basis for comparison, as this is my first generator, but I'm excited to get this guy going . Aesthetically, it's a little bigger than I was probably looking for, but hopefully that translates to more power. I could also do with a color other than orange. Upon opening I was able to start it up with one pull, after putting some gas in. It is a little loud, but I feel completely ready for some camping or the apocalypse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is absolutely amazing! The quality is awsome and holds up great. The best thing I love about this generator is that it automatically monitors the co levels and shuts it down if it's too high. I have small children so this makes me feel so much better knowing that it's safe. Another thing that's great is it comes with the cord that you need for it. A lot of generators you have to buy that separate. Overall this is a really good generator to have. I recieved this as a sample and this is 100% my own opinion!
