[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a generator that's strong, reliable, and not hard to figure out, the Generac GP5500 is a great choice. I was scared of this generator at first.  I am glad to have it for power outages and outdoor use, and it really delivered.  With a bit of help I was able to get it up and running.  Let's talk about the pros and cons and why it may be a good choice for you.  Pros     •    Plenty of power for the essentials — fridge, freezer, lights, fans, and small appliances.     •    Runs for hours on one tank.     •    Easy to start, even with the pull cord.     •    Sturdy build with wheels that make it easier to move.     •    Very dependable with the items I plugged into it.  Cons     •    It's heavy, so expect to roll it instead of lifting it.      •    A little loud — not sure what's normal.   If your power is out or you are outside and it works the noise doesn't matter.     •    Not the best for sensitive electronics like high-end computers.  Plug in the things you need the most during an outage.  Ease of Use Super simple. Just:     •    Add fuel     •    Check oil     •    Turn the switch     •    Start it That's all. Very beginner friendly.  I feel more secure knowing that I am prepared for an outage. I would recommend.    

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already knew something about this brand; I know it's one of the best brands for power generators, and it certainly is. It's been a huge help, as it can even power a refrigerator and many other things at the same time. As is well known, they are very noisy, but that's the least of our worries since there's no electricity. And we shouldn't put it near the house; it should be placed further away for everyone's safety, especially if it's used at night. It's definitely highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much for letting me test out this generator. It is so easy to use. I did have help setting it up as it was very heavy. Once we got it on the wheels it was a breeze to maneuver. This feature helps to get it out of storage once it is actually needed. This generator works great and without jinxing myself I can't wait to use it. This generator will have enough power to operate all of my essential appliances if the power happens to go out. I can't say enough good things about it!!

Generac GP7500E performs as noted in sales literature. Purchased as temporary backup house power. Test run confirmed this unit runs minimum house appliances (2 split aircon units, refrigerator, tv, WiFi, house receptacles and lights). It is a bit loud, but appears to be quite fuel efficient.

I was able to get this generator on sale. So I was able to purchase a larger one than originally intending to buy. It has all the features I need in a portable generator. It was easy to assemble and it started right up after adding fuel. I have not had to use it yet for emergency power but it should be able to handle all of our basic needs.

Turned it on and no electric powe on all the outlet. Pressed the circuit breaker still no power. Got a pencil a pushed harder and got power. Those buttons have to be pushed in deeper than I would have expected . Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. We have been lucky, haven't lost power yet.

This generator performs very well. I really like the fact that the 240 volt plug has a real circuit breaker rather than the pop out type. Makes a big difference in hot weather. The only thing I don't like is that it does not charge the battery when running. After multiple starts you have to charge it with a charger.

I have not had a chance to run this new generator for any extended period of time, but I can tell you do not buy a generator under 5000 watts if you intend to use many appliances. My 3/4 horse sump pump alone takes over 3000 watts to initiate. For the money you cannot beat this generator mine started right up after easy assembly and I have ran it a few times for 10 minutes for my personal beliefs for break in.

bought the gp7500e to replace a manual start generator. at 72 many times i could not start a manual start.this is a backup for power failures. runs everything needed with a manual transfer switch.starts instantly only concern is it has external charger- does not charge battery by running generator. charger is included.

Product fantastic price wise compared to generators of less quality. Product has a pleasant physical appearance and we love the color. We appreciate the recoil starter just in case the battery goes down or bad. Noise level much lower than other models we have seen. Control panel easy to read.
