I am a 65 yo woman who needed son to do initial set up before Hurricane Irene. After that I was able to service my generator myself. It ran window air conditioner, tv, computer and refrigerator and some lights, I am very pleased and recommend this product.

Generator arrived very well packed. Initial setup was easy. Fired it up and put it on line with no problems. Very happy with product and feel I got a "good deal". If I were to make the product better I would give it a built in battery charger. The accessory style unit is okay, but is slightly inconvienient.

I originally purchased the GP5500 unit, but traded it in for this GP7500E. The electric start is prefect. I set up the unit in no time and I had my wife come down to start it for the first time. She simply pushed the start button and it fired up. It actually runs quieter than other generators in the neighborhood. I would derfinitely recommend this unit to anyone, and I have. You can't beat the features for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an indispensible asset to our household. Southern CA can be very unpredictable and this is our safety net for our family. It is well made and easy to move with the wheels. So glad we own it!

Easy to set up. Large wheels makes it a almost effortless to move around. The extension that comes with the unit is handy when I move it off site. Normally we use this generator as a standby unit in case of storms and other power outages. We connect it to our transfer switch with a 50 ft. very heavy twist lock extension cord. Easy to start and relatively quiet. Great value for the money.

I have not started the generator yet but in getting it ready I've identified a few disappointing aspects. First and probably the biggest disappointment is the requirement to measure valve clearance at every 50 hour interval. The owners manual informs you this is pretty complicated (without describing the procedure) and suggests you have a qualified dealer do it (...did I mention the requirement for every 50 hours of operation?). The generator came with a note indicating the unit is "shipped without oil" and they supply 2 quarts for the required 1.7 quart capacity. When I poured the first quart in, the oil level was well above full on the dipstick ….indicating the engine was not even close to empty of oil. I also found the assembly instructions to be near non-existent because the exploded view of the assembly was so small in the users manual; also - it did not reference torques for any bolts or wear lock washers vs. nylon nuts should be used. I also noted two wires stretched very tight across the oil filter - which needed to be disconnected and re-connected following a less stressful path. I truly hope the generator will work well despite these initial findings.

This is the perfect generator for running my house when the power goes out. It's really easy to start with the remote start and is quiet compared with other generators I've used. It has a big gas tank so your not constantly filling with gas to keep the lights on. I'm very happy with this generator and with Generac

Great product, well made, starts immediately with electric start. I only ran it for a short time after installing the house electrical transfer panel. Generator handled everything with no problem. I do wish that there would be an oil filter for the engine. I know someone with a 10,000 watt generator and that has an oil filter.

Bought this generator because of power outage. This is my 2nd GP 6500. Easy assembly except the store did not include the wheels. Started on very 1st pull and ran flawlessly. Noise level is acceptable. I cannot say enough about this generator. It easily handles my whole house. I had many neighbors come over asking about it and I'm sure that some of them are going to or did buy an identical. unit. It is nice to get your moneys worth.

I needed to run my entire home inn case of a Hurricane. This was the only generator gas powered to accommodate our needs. 50 amp service was more than enough, ran my entire home for almost 3 days till power was restored. I was extremely happy. I referred this model GP17500E to a friend he bought one and like me very happy thank god we didn't need it so far in 2018.
