Must have for hurricane season!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This TriFuel Generator by Generac is going to come in very handy come hurricane season. Living in central Florida, a generator is a must have! This one runs on natural gas, gasoline and propane. We tried it first with propane and it started right up with the battery start, and it quickly shut right off when we closed to valve on the propane tank. Last year there was a huge issue with finding gas after Hurricane Milton, now that we can also use propane I feel so much more prepared!

Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was initially for hurricane purposes but I have a feeling it will be used for more than that! Upon opening I discovered that there was a 25ft 20amp cord included, which was great, one less cord I had to purchase! From my understanding, there is a pull start and an electric start version of this model. I have the pull start, which I was a bit worried about, honestly, see as how I always struggle with starting up the lawnmower, haha. But, I can honestly say, this was a lot easier to start up than I expected! This generator has huge heavy duty wheels and handle bars, making it soo much easier to transport it wherever I need it to be at in the yard! Also, the handle bars fold down and lock into place making it a bit more compact for those who are limited space! After checking things out a bit and reading the instruction manual, it's to my understanding that it is equipped with a nifty little feature, it has a low-oil level shut down feature that helps protect the engine from any damage! This is wonderful for those who are not used to checking their oil level or just completely forget because so much is going on! This generator is wonderful so far! I have not been able to use it for a super long period of time, but it has been used for powering a pressure washer for a decent length of time for a side job! I have confidence that this will work wonders for a power outage, work/side jobs or even for some camping trips! Very happy with it so far!

Better than the rest.

After extensive research, IMO this unit has all the spec's I require to run my home in an emergency power outage. After Irene and Sandy leaving me out of power for a combined 25 days, I don't have to split wood any more. This unit was more than adequate for running the 240v essentials in my home, furnace, water pump, water heater and my son's fish tanks. I suggest getting a unit that is a little more than you need. This one is 50 amps, My new GP15,000E was a lot quieter than I expected and the idle switch is great, only runs engine to speed as power is required. Generac should do a DB sound test on these units and post the results as it would no doubt better persuade folks to purchase these portable generators. It should also come with 4 locking wheels.

NOT USED YET

GOT MY GENERATOR, HAD NOT BEEN FOR HAVING A CHAIN HOIST , DOUBT THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT WHEELS AND FOOT ASSEMBLY ON. SOME PARTS WERE MISSING SUCH AS WASHERS, NOT A BIG THING, ONE SPACER FOR THE WHEELS HAD TOO BE GRIND DOWN TO FIT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN? ALL OTHERS THING WORKED , START UP ETC. HAVE NOT YET A CHANCE TO PUT IT TOO THE TEST UNTIL NEXT POWER OUTAGE. SO PERFORMANCE CANNOT BE COMMENTED ON. GENERATOR QUITE HEAVY BUT WAS ABLE TO PUSH AROUND IN SPITE OF MY AGE OF 65. UP HILL GRADES A DIFFERENT STORY.

Replacement

I had a coleman powermate 6250w ran great. I hope this generator does as good or better than the coleman. The Generac is more powerful and more quite. The design is better and came with wheel ,handle kit, electric start, oil, 20A cord, and funnel. I'm impressed with the ease of functioning especially starting. The pull start is easy enough my wife started it only using one hand. The electric start works great as well the with just a push of button. I plan to use this generator to power my home in power outage. The coleman could not handle but small amount and wouldn't satisfy my wife. She wants hot bath and we have electric water heater and wants to cook on electric stove plus watch TV. I done lots of research and couldn't find another generator like generac. The new appliances are sensitive to THD level and generac is less than five percent. Generac noise level is low also has three year residential warranty. Where live in a rural area we have power outages a lot all times of the year. Winter time we have been without electric for two weeks solid snow and ice storm and bitter cold

Excellent generator

I bought the GP7500E with electric start the night before storm Sandy hit NJ in 2012. I ran it 14-16h per day for 10 days without any issues. I did not follow any of the recommended maintenance such as oil change or drain the fuel tank when it was sitting outside for 5 years more or less unused. We then moved to CO and after getting off grid land in WY a decided to get it started. All fuel components except tank needed to be replaced including the carburetor. I replaced the spark plug and oil. After letting the carburetor get fuel for a few minutes it started on first pull! I replaced the battery and it start with just a short press on the start button. Only issue is the hour meter is now blank and shows to run hours. If the generator can take my misuse it can handle anything. I’m very pleased with it.

Excellent product!

Ran generator for approx. 50 hrs. straight, except for re-fueling, during Hurricane Irene. It provided reliable power and saved us quite a bit of money by not having to replace food. Also provided comfort as it powered my central air conditioning with no trouble. Easy to set up and start. Acceptable noise level for size of unit. Does like gas!

Ready for a power outage!

We have had several power outages in our area due to different readons, mainly vehicles hitting power poles and a few bad thunderstorms. No wanting to wait hours to get power restored, we decided to get a generator. We chose the GP8000E and we are very happy with it. We were able to hook up our entire home to it using a transfer switch. We shut our main power to the house and turned the generator on and it worked like a charm! All of our lights came on, our refrigerator and furnace did great, and we even tried our A.C. unit. We are happy with it. Next time there is a power outage in our area, we will be ready for it! Thanks!

Simple setup, very simple to use.

Bought this generator to replace the under powered, old and pretty beat one Iv'e been limping along for years. I live in the rural part of NY and depend on electricity for almost everything from water to heat. The crazy weather lately has taken out the power several times already this year. The 7500 will power everything with ease. With the electric start feature, I'm now spoiled. Great machine.
