we purchased this unit ,removed from the carton @the job site filled with oil that was provide from Generac and fill with gasoline ,hooked up to a outside project job trailer and ran the unit for 40.o hrs even in the cold weather it never missed a beat ,I am glad to have made such a smart purchase of a high quality generator ,originally we were thinking about renting because we didn't want the headache of having to have the rental company have to fix the unit or do repairs when we really depended on electrical power .thank you, Jesse f Rose president of environmental services plus ,Kaukauna wi

Unit came with a dead battery and defective. Tried charging it with the charger they sent with it and it did absolutely nothing. Put in on a real battery charger and that didn't work. Generac said to put this generator in the trunk of my car and take it to a dealer. I certainly can't do that; it's too heavy and it won't fit. I called an authorized Generac dealer and she said most Generacs come with dead batteries. Even her replacement battery is frequently DEAD. This is the last time I purchase anything from Generac as their product quality is much lower than in years past. NEVER get a generator that can't be started manually with no battery. I will try a Dewalt or Kohler product next time.

This is my 2nd Generac generator and I purchased this one for home backup. I have found the Generac brand to be there when I needed it. My 5500 portable is great, but because I added a large shed, needed just a little more. Found them easy to start and maintain and are extremely reliable.

I bought it almost 2 years ago, I haven't had to use very often, only when power is going to be out for a while, but it runs EVERYTHING in my home. No need to shut of anything, just hook it up, push the electric start, and throw the switch in my breaker panel. It's not one of the quiet ones, so I keep it about 100 ft from my home inside my barn and I don't hear it at all.

I was able to get the wheels on with ease by putting the unit on its side. A little hard to put the oil in and I got oil everywhere. surprised that Gererac did not include a disposable funnel. Unit is easy to move around and lighter that I thought it would be. Started right up. Like the fact that you can recharge the battery throughout the unit which is easy. It's everything that I wanted and a good value. signed>A happy camper.

My GP7500E is performing beautifully after Hurricane Irma, but it is very loud. Is there a way to quiet it down? Like a muffler upgrade? FYI, I'm getting more hours per gallon than rated, but that may be because I'm very conscientious about what is using it and when.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve lost power four times this summer due to intense Philly storms, and I can honestly say the Generac Tri-Fuel Portable Generator 50ST came in clutch every single time. Setup was straightforward, and the tri-fuel option (gasoline, propane, or natural gas) gave us flexibility depending on what we had on hand. We mostly ran it on propane, and it powered everything we needed — fridge, lights, fans, and even the Wi-Fi — without breaking a sweat. The runtime is solid, and the peace of mind it gave us during outages was worth every penny. It’s not the lightest piece of equipment, but it’s built to last and easy to move with the wheels. Noise level is totally manageable for a unit this powerful. If you live in an area prone to storms or unreliable power, this generator is an absolute game-changer. After this summer, I wouldn’t be without it.

Bought this unit to get us through the storm last year. It did it's job well for the first 50 hours, then it quite running. It won't start and run. Pretty sure it's the electronics, the CO2 sensor. Saw a U tube video of the exact model doing the exact thing. Bad unnecessary CO2 sensor. So it sits there broken waiting for me to find a shop, time, and help to load it.

Last winter was an easy one here in the east. I bought this product after some internet searching. I was told at Home Depot that it would be 6-8 weeks before it would be delivered. To my surprise I got it in 1 week. Set up was a snap, and all was right with the world. Now waiting for a black-out. Didn't happen until July. 14 hours without power. Fired up the Gen and turned on all that I needed. With the exception of the somewhat loud muffler system, I have no complaints whatsoever. As I put in the review summary, great for the money. I looked at cheaper ones, but was willing to spend a few more bucks for something that got great reviews and ratings from other owners. Well worth looking at a Generac. Plus I spent about $100 more for the Electric start just in case I was not home when a problem occurs to make it easier for my wife to just push a button and light up the house. Ain't love grand!!!

Set up is easy except for the battery connections. Took almost an hour to get them connected. Had to bend the positive lead tab inorder to connect it to the terminal. I think this could be easily fixed by rotating the battery 180 degrees and changing the length of the battery cables. The battery clamps would have to be also changed. Would be a bear for one person to assemble. Fortunitely i have a hoist in my garage. Started within 3 seconds. Would be very nice to have a volt and amp meter.
