[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality industrial generator. This generator will power our 3 freezers, 2 refrigerators, sump pump, TV's, computers and then some. It's quiet. The handles make it easy to move, even I can move it myself. The self grounding feature is nice. Very fuel efficient. I like that it has a carbon monoxide safety feature. It has a fuel gauge so you can easily tell how much fuel is left. Very easy to use electric start. GFCI outlets with LED indicators are a nice feature. I like that it's made in Wisconsin. I would definitely recommend this generator.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome! The Tru Fuel feature is super convenient. It’s is pretty heavy but it has wheels to move around when needed. So far it works well, I don’t need a generator frequently but the convenience is great.

We used this generator less than 50- hours. When we needed it again summer of 2020 we discovered the generator burned!!! Very DISAPPOINTED We had to use an older 10- year old Briggs and Stratton that started up right away. We are currently waiting on new generator to be ordered and delivered , due to Covid reasons it’s taken this long. We pray once a new generator is installed it will work great for us for years to come.

I bought this generator a few years ago and boy did it save my butt. I lost power last winter and had to use my new generator. Having it I was able to Heat my house and keep my refrigerator cold. I also had some lights wired too. Having this generator made my wife happy and that is what's important. A happy wife is a happy life. This was money well spent. Thank You General.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The power cord has 4 places to plug things into and that is a nice feature. It has a handle which is great as you can move it and lock it in place. It was also easy to move. Loved the weather covers for the plug. Some of the directions, however, could use improvement. Started right up. Sounds great as it is running. This is a really nice generator.

This seems to be a good generator is provided backup power for me for 4 days straight. The only thing I wish the generator had was a percentage used of power as other generators offer that feature. The only feature offered on this is the hour meter which is very good for maintenance

Bottom of box and pallet was taped to pallet. I signed off, delivery driver drove off. 3 hours later, at 6:30 pm I took off the tape to see that somewhere in the process the tape was used to cover up a number of big holes and the powder coated frame was scraped up in 5 places. The battery tray flange was bent. Forklift damage I assume. I'm asking retailer to contact Generac and get me touch up paint to avoid rust... and a return.... I'm in the process of breaking it in. Lets see how Generac handles this, and I'll report back. Somebody tried to cover up a mistake, and it does not reflect well on the brand.

I have owned this generator approximately five years, it only has 60 hrs on it. It has been in auth shop twice and has had four new fuel pumps. Also new voltage regulator It has now blown the fuse behind the control panel and blows another as soon as installed?? I seldom post negative comments on products. In fact this is my first!!!! Very disappointed!!!

We have had the 17500 for a few years now and it has been great for us. We live near a national forest so when power goes out it generally stays out for several hours to several days. We do the regular maintenance on her and have a trickle charge solar panel on the battery. It definitely burns through fuel, however, it runs EVERYTHING. Also is very heavy, so have so.e strong people around if you need to move it or place it strategically and then buy a sturdy after market cover to keep it out of the elements.

We live in an area that seems to lose power frequently. The convenience of the battery start was a very compelling feature (it replaced a pull start - I'm 77 and it started to be a challenge) It was such a great experience, I purchased one for my grandson in New Hampshire. Strongly suggest installing an input receptacle connected to your home distribution panel.
