Very powerful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator was bought to power my house during a power outage. It is easy to set up. The directions are simple-you don't have to be a handyman in order to put it together. It comes with the first supply of oil. You just open it up and pour it in! I am extremely happy that it has a push start. I am a very small framed woman and I was afraid that in an emergency situation, I would not be able to start it on my own.(with a pull start) I was able to push a button and bam power! It is quite heavy, but it's not hard to wheel it where you want it to go...and with the never flat tires, you won't have to worry about getting it stuck with a punctured tire. This generator is very powerful. I was able to power our refrigerator, the neighbors refrigerator, two TVs, a deep freezer, a computer, two fans and lights. It's not as loud as I thought it would be. About as loud as a lawnmower. This thing ran for TWELVE STRAIGHT HOURS! That's impressive! Bottom line is... buy this Generac! Don't buy a knock-off brand to save a couple of dollars. It will not have all the features of this Generac. It will not be as durable or as reliable. You will not be able to power the amount of things this Generac does and it will not run as good or as long!

Very good quality and simple to use

Bought during a power outage and brought power back to my house very quickly. Assembly is simple and straightforward. Generator has started first pull and still starts very well with the included electric start. pushes a lot of power so nominal rating is not overrated. a bit noisy but I was amazed to see how little gas it used. Not the cheapest, but quality is top.

IMPRESSIVE GENERATOR

I JUST RECEIVED MY GENERATOR TODAY. I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE SOLID DESIGN, EASE OF ATTACHING HANDLES, WHEELS AND FRONT STAND. I AM REPLACING A 2500---3000 WATT GENERATOR THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO SMALL TO RUN MY 220 VOLT WELL PUMP--I WAS OUT OF ELECTRIC POWER FOR 11 DAYS AND WANT TO BE READY NEXT TIME.

Runs my entire house!

The area in which I live is always losing power. I was looking for a small generator to just run the essentials, like furnace, air conditioner, refrigerator. But this portable generator runs the whole darn house! Of course, I don't have a very big house, but this is GREAT! And so easy to start! I'm very happy!

Generac reputation

This is my second Generac generator. The first one that I had lasted over 14 years. I sold it because after we sold our house, the new one we purchased was larger, and the 6500 w we used could not power the entire house. So, I sold it for a good price, because it was a Generac, it has a reputation for quality that lasts. This new generator GP15000E has the power to power the entire house! It is heavy, but because it has a solid cage frame on pneumatic wheels, (located in a balanced location) it is fairly easy to move. All the controls are easy to reach and read, and with the electric start, it is effortless! The only drawback is the noise factor, however, almost all gasoline generators are noisy! If this one lasts like the last one, I will have it for a long, long time!

excellent product

The biggest thing about this generator was the ease of operation once i finished installing the wheels and handle. The electric start makes is so easy to start the generator. The generator provided power to spare in my house. the downside is that the installation instructions for the wheels and handle was very small to read, especially, when i was in the dark. I was also missing two nuts to mount the handle. i ended up temporarily installing some other bolts/nuts until i could replace the nuts. there's a need to be more specific as to how long and how often to charge the battery.

Cranks easy

I bought the 6500e to run my heat pump, I have a generac 17kw standby unit but the guy that hooked up find the wire the heat pump in and was less trouble to wire it outside for a portable unit. This unit fires up in a half a turn with the electric start and pulls the heat pump with ease!

Great product

Purchased for 2800 sq for single family home in south Florida. Fortunately the only time we’ve used it is to start it up every month to ensure everything is running properly. During the test start up’s everything is working properly and running all electrical necessary. Would highly recommend

User friendly

We purchased it on the morning of the day that Irene was to hit. Set up was easy. We lost power the next day for about 8 -9 hours. Easy start. Hooked it up to sump pump immediately. Eventually hooked up our fridge. Plenty of voltage left over if we wanted to hook up more. It is ready to go if we have power outages during this winter.

Reason to buy product

We bought this portable generator for the pending hurricane season. Nothing worst than being in a home for 1 week without power to run refrigerator and freezers. We researched and found Generac to be the best generator on the market. Hopefully we will not need it, but it's nice knowing you are covered if you do.
