Generac has been around four years. I have used them in the past and will continue to use them in the future. The unit is fairly heavy which makes it hard to move around but you have so much in that account back please I can understand why it's so heavy. my unit fires up real fast and runs a long time and one tank of fuel.

Very happy with this generator it meets our needs.large fuel tank easy start,easy to move.The start up surge of 8250 watts is awesome,it handles what we need heat well pump,refrigerator,and lights.It can handle it. Would highly recommend this generator.

We have had a lot of power outages in the past year. I had a small generator, but wouldn't handle everything, I would have to shut off things then turn on things. With the New bigger model I can run everything ! Easy to put together, easy to run ! So glad I made this purchase !!!! My small generator is a General, had great experience with it, so that is why I recommend General !!!!

Fortunately, I haven't had an outage since purchase, but set up was easy and startup successful. But without a real test, I can only say that I expect it to perform in an outstanding way, just like the other DR/Generac products that I have. Brush mower, trimmer mower, drag/harrow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so grateful for this generator. I live in NJ, on the shore, & have dealt with hurricanes. This will help save food in the fridge & can help keeping the house cool, if needed. At the very least charge devices so we can be in contact with family, if needed. It’s not too loud, & super easy to set up. I’ve wanted a generator for so long so I’m so happy with this!!

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.

My 17500E arrived and after helping the delivery associate get it up the driveway, I lifted the outer carton off the two, yes two, pallets on which it was bolted. First I removed the battery from its mount; and then placed a couple of furniture pads at the end of the pallet on the generator side (choose this because choosing the wrong end would place the generator weight on the electrical panel). Following that I pulled (jerked) the unit off the double pallets (save the bracket's & hardware) and let it glide off the pallets and onto it's frame. With little effort it pivoted up onto the end of the frame where I easily installed the wheels and the front leg assembly. That done I simply rotated it back to the ground, and was amazed that the balance of the unit actually helped bring it to a normal upright position. all that was left was install the handle, which by the way took Phillip's screw driver to hold alignment of the holes while the first one on each side was placed; and reinstall the battery. The reason I mentioned saving the pallet hardware will be evident as soon as you see them. I can imagine a million uses for the brackets down the road, and some of the bolts with locking nuts seemed to me to be a more robust choice for attaching the battery terminals than the ones' intended for the purpose. I can assure you that whining about the weight won't get the job done, but using one's brain makes an average afternoon's project out of the process.

Bought GP15000E after extensive research. Because of demand, it took almost four weeks to receive it and Generac transfer switch. Worth the wait. Both were reasonably easy to set up. I store the generator inside garage, but suggestions for shelter when it is being used outside would be appreciated. There are some slight differences in operating instructions between the generator and transfer switch manuals.

I've owned my 7500E for just over 8 months now. As others have mentioned, from ordering to delivery was flawless, set up took very little time. Once I had the transfer switch installed, I ran through a test of all 10 circuits with the electrician and it barely created a load on it...even he was amazed. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and feel very confident recommending it to anyone considering this model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my generator about two weeks ago to prepare for cold weather and any power outages we may have. I am very impressed with this one! Very easy to start. You do have to assemble the cart that holds it but it was simple. All instructions are very easy to follow. I have a 1200 sq ft home and this generator will easily power my whole house. My husband has been using it outside in the barn to try power tools with it and he is estatic! You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend!
