[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I turned off the power in my home to test this generator out. Needless to say, I'm very impressed. It took quite a bit of gas to fill up, but it didn't burn through it at all. I let it run for an hour and I couldn't tell that any gas was used. I live in a three bedroom trailer. This generator let off enough power to keep my central air running and my refrigerator going as well. Assembly was extremely easy and laid out very well to understand. The portable feature is amazing as well. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied.

This generator fit our needs perfectly. We have a small farm and needed a sizeable unit to power things when power is out with affordability. This unit is large but easy for my wife to move around. It is very easy to operate and quality is excellent.

Purchased for house backup. Needed portablity with power for my situation. Unit performs as advertised when tested at 12kw , no-load to full load and v-v <3% voltage or freq variation w/ <5%thd. Runs my 4ton ground source heat pump ( has soft start) and 2 refrigrators plus rest of house minus range and dryer easly using the 50 A. connector. Power is clean and well regulated for sensitive electronics in house. Portablity is good since i lift it with tractor loader to move from house use to other areas. Thanks.

The RS8000E is a fantastic portable generator that performed admirably for 66+ hrs during a recent 72-hr power outage. I bought mine at the big hardware store that starts with the letter "M" and it was one of the last 2 they still had available. . It easily powered a fridge/freezer, 5 cu ft chest freezer, 1000 watt microwave oven, 8000 BTU window A/C unit, 5000 BTU window A/C unit, a mini-fridge, fish tank with heater/filter/bubbler, and several lamps with low-wattage LED bulbs. We took turns running the A/C units, never running both at the same time. My daughter even ran a hair dryer for a few minutes. The lamps never flickered, indicating that the RS8000E never struggled to keep everything powered. . The generator started up on the first pull every time in between gas tank fill-ups, which were less frequent than I thought they'd be. I was able to run it for 12-14 hrs in between gas fill-ups. . This generator is quite loud because it's so powerful, but we were able to run it overnight because our neighbors' houses are far enough away and they wouldn't be bothered by the noise. . I really like the convenience of the PowerDial, which eliminates the need to flip a choke lever, turn a fuel valve, and push the "On" button before pulling the cord like most other generators require you to do. . I highly recommend this workhorse of a generator. It saved us about $1,000 in frozen meat/food that would have spoiled, prevented our fish from dying, and kept us out of the dark for 3 nights. It paid for itself in its first use. . As a Wisconsinite, Generac is the first name that comes to mind when I think of whole-house and portable generators. You can't go wrong with Generac generators. So if you're thinking of buying the RS8000E, just go ahead and buy it! You won't regret it!

With all of the weather associated power outages occurring these past years, I decided it was time to purchase a portable generator as a back-up . After looking at what was available, I chose the Generac because of its reputation as a reliable machine and at a price I could afford. Love my purchase and I'm not having any worries about its capabilities and performance. I'm now in ready-mode !! / Bonne achat pour me sécurisé en cas de panne d'électricité !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] due in no small part to recent events on the eastern seaboard, we felt it necessary to purchase a portable generator given to volatile weather here. we decided to go with the best name in the business: Generac. we were certainly not disappointed. the 8000 Watt Standing and 10k Startup wattage were plenty for our home. that and the Package coming with a Battery and an electric startup were all key features that pushed us towards this brand. we did not have much knowledge in Generators and even less in hooking them up. I love the 25 foot chord it came with and also the ease at which it is transportable via the super heavy duty tires. we went with a professional to hook everything up which cost about 200 Dollars. though I could have probably done it, as the directions were super easy and everything was marked and easily understood, we felt having someone with experience to install it was wise. overall we are very happy with this new model and even happier with the performance. it is not loud (like a Starship taking off) as the exhaust is pretty well muffled. love that feature. we recommend this to anyone with potential power issues.

Inherited as part of our home purchase and to be fair did not pay much attention to it. Started it once just to check if it works about 3 years back. I had very little hopes of getting it started and have it working. Battery was flat (since i never charged it) and it had 4+ years old gas in it. NOTE: Please do not try this on your set :) It started on the second pull and have been running for last two days. We have 2 refrigerators, 1 deep freezer, forced air heating, washer dryer, garage doors, kitchen appliances including a microwave and whole house lighting. We are careful of not loading it up. With that said, this thing runs like a champ, flawless. Cannot recommend it enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile now! Living in Ohio and having your electric go out during the winter is horrible! Now if it goes out I am able to keep my kiddos warm! I highly recommend this! I used it on my friends RV over the weekend and it works amazing! Love it.

Haven't had a chance to run the house with it yet, but I'm sure it will make light work of it with no problem! The overall quality and appearance of this machine is very well put together. The only issue I had is that it took over 4 months to get it...I'm guessing it's probably production run intervals.

So far I am very satisfied but did not get a chance to put it to an actual test. The predicted storm did not materialize and we never lost our power but I was confident that I was ready for anything with my new Generac 7500E. It was filled with oil, the battery charged and gas. Test started and it fired right up.
