[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great item. It us loud but not horribly loud. We hooked it up to the propane tank which it started up immediately. Great handle that bends down for storage. Many plugs to be used. A great item to have in your home for emergency. Every home should have one.

I bought this generator because of the Oct storm. We were out for four days (not again if I can help it). I had a transfer switch installed. I have two heaters (gas), refrigerator. hot water heater (gas) kitchen lights, dinette lights, bathroom lights, hallway lights and family room outlets hooked up to the transfer switch. No problem with all of it on at the same time. I run a line to the garage refrigerator. In the evening, I ran a line from my washer/dryer to the family room outlets. Again there was no problem. The generator is outside. I closed the garage door and the door to my house (there is no discernible noise from the generator) and after a while I forget I'm on generator power. It takes forever for this generator to run out of gasoline. I rated it five stars because (so far) there is nothing this generator has a problem carrying.

I bought it for emergency power for when our tree lined street takes out the power lines. I've only run it for a few minutes so far, to test the breaker box connection. It ran the well pump, furnace, and a few lights without issue. There will be enough power in reserve to keep us comfortable if we have another snow disaster this winter.

I use this generator five days a week, all day long. It is a work horse. My only complaint is that the electric start is not dependable. Since the generator starts so well with the pull starter this is not a deal breaker. It is of interest that I've had a few Generac 8,000 watt electric start generators and they all have electric starters that are flaky. Since they pull start so well I live with it.

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.
