Best bang for the buck!!!

I bought this generator to run sewerage ejector pumps at a townhouse complex in case of a power failure. After un crating it I've decided to purchase another unit for my own house for standby use. For the price you can't beat it. Who cares if it never gets used.

Hurricane Power source

During the recent power outage caused by Hurricane Sandy we used our GP7500E to power our entire home through a transfer switch. Refridgerators ( 2) , sump pump, Fan for gas heat, lighting, bathrooms , TV, kitchen appliances all working no problem. Unit ran 12-15 hours a day for 7 days. Changed oil at 32 hours then every 50 hours after that. Great unit. Purchased unit during the summer and this was the first big tryout. It passed with flying colors.

Greatest thing since sliced bread

There's nothing I can say that would even come close to doing this machine justice , bought another generator from a competitor , biggest mistake I could have made. The features, durability and quality is second to none , highly recommended this to anyone over any other brand .

Bring on Winter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in the country and we have had some hard winters when the electric has been out. We have been wanting a generator for a good while, and finally got one. I didn't know anything about this brand, but "wow"! It had very little assembly out of the box. It is very sturdy and came with large wheels and a handle that uses both hands to keep it balanced, which makes it easy to maneuver. The handle locks in place and folds down when you don't need it. I was really surprised at the features it had. It had 4 plugs, and a 220 volt plug for larger appliances, like a washer or stove. Of course it's not winter, but when the power goes out we will be ready! We hooked it up to our power washer and was able to go beyond what we can usually do around the house. It started with the first pull and had the power to run various items that we tested it with, such as the power washer, welder and we even plugged it into a small camper to run the lights, etc. We are almost wanting a hard winter, just so we can use it. I am very happy with this generator and feel that it will last a lifetime. There is nothing flimsy about it and I think they thought of just about everything with this. I realize we didn't get to try it out for very long, but I can't think of any cons to this generator.

Awesome

This has saved my bacon 4 or 5 times. I almost wish for a storm to come now because I'm prepared. I hadn't used it for a year and I ran it yesterday as a test and it started up right away. It kinda scared twice though. The first time I ran it it burned almost a quart of oil. And then once I filled it up with gas and I hadn't turned the fuel shut off valve to off and somehow the some of the gasoline went into the crankshaft. They don't tell you that in the manual. And now the manual says paper air filter but mine is foam. But ,I still love it and chain it up when not in use.

Great generator but...

I like this unit a lot. It powers my entire house and I have frequent power outages. My only gripe is the handle and wheels. The rubber hand holds slide right off and there is only one pin to.secure the folding handle which feels kind of cheap. It's hard to roll this across an uneven surface. Maybe it was only intended for city people.to roll on cement.in the garage. Trying to get it from the shed to the house across an uneven yard kind of sucks. Guess I'll have to either build it its own house or get it a tougher cart to mount it in

Love the features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last year when a hurricane hit we were without power for 3 days. I said then that I would not want to go through that experience again without a generator. I was worried that we would lose all of our food in our refrigerators as well as our freezers and that would be devastating for us. For years I have heard that people had problems with carbon monoxide issues with generators so I was so happy that this one is equipped with CO Sense. I feel safer using this with my family. This generator has an electric start so it is even easy for me to start. I am thankful that I do not have to worry anymore about what we would do without power. In the long run this will save us a lot of patience and money since we will be able to run our refrigerators and freezers.

excellent backup

I own a home in Alaska. Power outages are frequent outside the city, and it's dark a lot in the winter. I needed something to power some lights and a portable heater to keep a room warm during extended outages. Excellent bang for my buck. The on/off switch broke the 2nd time I used this unit, but I just went to the hardware store and picked up a toggle switch and wired it in myself. No biggie.

Easy set up and operations

I purchased this generator for my parent who needs it as a home back up power supply when she loses power because of storms and I'm not able to stay with her. I own a storm boss generator, it always starts and works great. So I wanted to stay with generac. This unit has electric start which makes it easy her. It runs great.
