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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very simple to put together and it fired up on the first pull. We use this for our camper should we go out in the woods without hook ups. Like I stated it fires right up and works AWESOME. My brother is looking for one and I have suggested this to him.

Bought the GP8000e for my ski cabin. It will run everything including well pump and hot water heater when we loose power which has become more frequent. Happy with my purchase. Decided to go with Generac since I already own a Generac generator for my primary home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We trust the Generac name. It was easy to assemble out of the box. Portability is great as it comes with never flat wheels. Fired right up and I am impressed with the quietness of the unit. I was expecting it to be much louder. Have only ran it a handful of times, but I have not came across any issues. We live in Tornado Alley and this will be a blessing during storms, however this is also great for job sites.

We just moved to a remote area of New Hampshire famous for serious power outages. So of course we had to get a generator for our home back up. This unit is superb. The electric starter is highly efficient and the unit starts up after only a couple cranks and that's in 11 degree Fahrenheit. Follow the simple instructions to set up and you're ready to go. We're having an electrician do the wiring for whole house back up and he strongly endorsed the Generac saying he's had one for 14 years and it's never failed him. We are delighted and secure with our purchase.

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.

Here in the Northeast we just got pounded with a winter blizzard, power out for 5 days on my street. Our Generac 6500 performed up to my expectations and then some. 90+ hours of straight run time and didnt skip a beat. We had this unit wired direct from our service panel to tranfer breaker panel with an outside outlet and 20' cord. 2- Frig's, heat, kitchen lights and outlets, microwave, livingroom lights and outlets, 3 bedrooms lights, office lights and outlets, garage lights, 2 bathrooms lights, cable, internet, tv..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just assembling this generator you can tell that it is very well made. I'm an engineer, and I have a number of pet peeves when it comes to machining, and this generator exceeded my expectations. It was a very short and very sturdy assembly and you could see how the unit had been factory tested. Everything was packaged well. This is a great emergency generator with enough power to power up your basic needs in the case of a power outage. I highly recommend it to keep on hand.

This is the third Generac I have owned and it is the very best. The electric start is wonderful and all the features can't be beat.Glad to see solid tires no more flat tires. Very reliable and the heavy duty chord that comes with it it is very handy.

I just purchased the GP17500E, Assembly was straight forward (A 2 man job). The over all design of the generator was well thought out, such as the oil fill area is large enough to fill directly, no funnel needed, also the oil drain is a hose, just unscrew the cap and you are draining the oil, couldn't be easier. Customer Support was very knowledgeable and get this, open 24hrs 7 days a week, I thought my company only did that.. If you order on line just be aware on the shipping method, Box Truck means a 52 foot semi trailer which was to heavy to go up your drive way, I grabbed my neighbor who had a pickup truck, unloaded on to the pick up and brought to the house. It all worked out. The generator started right up.
