Bought this as an emergency purchase. Had borrowed a no name generator for camping to have it quit working. Went to Menards in Princeton Indiana at closing time and found this model. Had been wanting of my own for various reasons over the years and have always put it off because of so many choices out there. Being forced to make a split decision in bio this one was a blessing in disguise. Could not be happier with this generator.

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

This is a great machine. I purchased it to run my whole house in the event I need it. It is portable and large and heavy. I bought a small trailer to mount the generator onto for easily moving around, hook it to my truck or ATV. Trailer has room for the big power cord and other extension cords. I purchase a bigger interstate battery to start it. I also use the battery for other things.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator was fairly easy to put together, the wheels roll this generator around with ease also handle makes it very easy to help wheels move. I love this product is very portable, this generator looks to be very heavy duty. This generator has a generous amount of 3 prong plugs, that have a rubber cover to keep these plugs in great condition when not in use. It has a hour meter which is pretty awesome to let you know your aproximate running time. This generator is very easy to start and can be transported in vehicle if needed. This product is definately great if there is a emergency and you need light etc. This generator is very well made of hard metals and hard plastics, all bolts hold parts securely in place. I love the directions are written clearly on generator no fumbling through thousands of pages, it has everything from dangers to warnings and pictured instructions how to properly function device. You can also visibly see what every button and switch is for so there is no confusion. This generator is brightly colored on top so I can definately spot this generator in my garage with no stress or searching. I used generator for a t.v and a couple lights and it worked great had a long runtime and was very surprised how much poewr this generator has. I am very happy with this product I would definately recommend to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last year when a hurricane hit we were without power for 3 days. I said then that I would not want to go through that experience again without a generator. I was worried that we would lose all of our food in our refrigerators as well as our freezers and that would be devastating for us. For years I have heard that people had problems with carbon monoxide issues with generators so I was so happy that this one is equipped with CO Sense. I feel safer using this with my family. This generator has an electric start so it is even easy for me to start. I am thankful that I do not have to worry anymore about what we would do without power. In the long run this will save us a lot of patience and money since we will be able to run our refrigerators and freezers.

Purchased day of 2014 Ice Storm, Living in the NE After losing power during Super Storm Sandy fear set in, lost power for four days the generator was a life saver. Plenty of power to run what we needed, including heat! Electric strart was great feature. A must have for anyhome owner who has lost power!

I bought this unit for a backup power source. Do to my electric company not being the most reliable to repair outages. The unit was delivered and I set it up within a 1/2 hour. Fired right up. I like the fact it has an hour meter to let me know when maintenance is needed. Electric start is nice also has a pull starter if needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not sure why but our area is known for frequent power outages. This generator has helped during those times. It was easy to set up and use. Started within the first few pulls. Would definitely purchase again.

I have used one of these for a back up generator for my house for 5 years and it does a great job, but I have recently purchased and installed a stand by unit 22kw which is awesome., There are a few things that you need to know before purchasing this unit, it is heavy and I have to use a tractor to haul it from my storage shed to the meter to hook it up, also if it is raining I have to wait until the rain slows down because the connections are open to the elements. the only other thing that pushed me to get a stand by is this unit is really loud. I think if you know these things up front and are ok with them then this unit does a really great job providing constant power when in use.

Purchased this generator after Hurricane Michael. I used it to run refrigeration, medical equipment and my well. It had absolutely no problems carrying the load. It is a quiet generator and ran for about 14 hours on a tank of gas. I highly recommend this generator.
