I bought this unit as a whole house backup generator. It has not let us down. Last year while camping got a text from the power company saying power was out at the house. We came home and I fired the genny and it ran very well with the central ac and refrigerator and freezer all running at the same time. Power was restored about 5 hours later. If not for the backup we would have lost over a thousand dollars worth of food.

We just got our GP6500 put together today, and found the directions for assembly difficult to interpret. There was a card that showed the parts and pictograms of how to assemble, but they were not clear enough. The manual was. It much help either. We managed to figure it out, having put together many other types of products, but I think that it might be a challenge for others. We haven't even used the product yet, as we have not lost power since purchasing, but wanted to tell the company that their assembly instructions were terrible!

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.

We purchased this generator to serve both as a power back-up to our house; and for ad-hoc use on the farm in locations where we don't have power. We have gas furnace and water heater so this size (7,500 watts) is big enough to run our well pump, sump pump, furnace, water heater, microwave, and two rooms worth of outlets. We are using a transfer switch so all we need to do is wheel out the generator and plug it in. The assembly is pretty basic (wheels and handle) went fairly well (its heavy). The oil filler cap could be in an easier area to get to (you will need a funnel to get oil into it). Once it was gassed and oiled up it started after just a little bit of choking, and after that it starts the first time every time with the push of the electric start. So far we haven't really taxed the generator yet but it has run well so far. I saw the comments in other reviews about gas leaking but I simply switch the fuel supply to off (with the easy to get to lever) and let the engine run a bit until it starts to sputter and then turn it off and there are no fuel leaks (better for longer term storage this way also). Thus, so far so good and seems it will work well for us - hopefully we never have to find out!!

Having had 2 other generators over the last 20 years, this one out-performs all the others. It starts so easy, I really do not need the electric start feature. It has plenty of power to operate the house. We seem to have frequent power losses, so having a back-up is a way of life.

Just purchased this GP7500E. Very easy set up. Started right up within a second. Love the electric start. Got a great price for a generator of this size and quality. Everything required was in the box (except the gas). The 9375 starting watts will come in handy on the day that I need it to run my household wellpump, freezers,fridges and still have power to run some lights and cooking appliances. As an electrician I have hooked up large commercial Generac generators in the past and was always very impressed with the Quality, and this smaller unit seams to live up to my expectations

Bought the 6500E after the last ice storm and power outage for 5 days. Although I didn't have to use it for the latest winter storm (thankfully), the ease of set up and start up was great. I just ran it for a little to make sure it was gonna be ready if needed and it was everything I thought it would be. Not too loud and would easily handle my emergency backup needs.

Great generator...Electric start is easy to use and starts right up..I bought this with the internet for my wife to use if the power goes out and I'm not home. Only gripe I have us with customer service.My generator was supposed to come with a 25 Amp extension cord and it didn't. I talked to 2 service reps who claimed they sent the cord.Still have not seen the extension cord.Besides for customer support,I love the generator.

I spent the extra couple of bucks to get the electric start model for my wife. I'm in law enforcement and if I'm ever stuck at work during an emergency, I want it to be easy for her to set up and get things going. Right out of the box, set up was easy. Followed the directions and fired it up with the electric start. I let it run for a bit and it didn't seem any louder than any other generator that I've been around. Very happy with it.

I use my generator to power my house when the electricity goes out. It is sized just right for what I need. It is easy to start and set up. With the fold down handle attached it makes it very easy to maneuver the unit wherever you need it or to store it away. I have researched and used a lot of other generators and this is the best so far. I am very happy with this unit and I am sure it will bring me years of service.
