This is a great generator for our entire house. No shortage of power and seems to be built solid. I really like the fact that it came with a battery charger to ensure its always ready to go. It's a little loud but not outrageous. Great generator dollar for dollar. We are ready for another ice storm with this Generac.

There is no voltmeter on the generator to indicate the generator is running at the correct speed to make the rated voltages. The generator is way too loud! It is so loud two people can't understand a word being said if you are very close to it. Muffler seems to be too small for the noise produced. The 50 amp receptacle is on the bottom of the control box. This is a bad place to be because the male plug for it tries to vibrate out. The little wire thingy that is supposed to hold the plug in is a joke because it doesn't fit any plugs I've seen. It needs a re-design.

Good Value and easy setup , only took about 15 minutes to setup and get it running , seems as the battery was not charged so had to use pull start and it fired up on first pull. I just did a quick test to make sure it would supply power and all seems fine. good piece of mind to have an alternate source of power when needed . Mark

Having used generators with pull start, I was not able to pull with my bad arm. So I looked for one with electric start and chose the Generac GP 8000. Glad I did. Easy to hook to my house, and it powers my house, and one push of a button, it starts right up. I would recommend it to any one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The power cord has 4 places to plug things into and that is a nice feature. It has a handle which is great as you can move it and lock it in place. It was also easy to move. Loved the weather covers for the plug. Some of the directions, however, could use improvement. Started right up. Sounds great as it is running. This is a really nice generator.

[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.

Like so many others, going 7 1/2 days without power during the freak October Nor'easter SUCKED! I bought the GP7500E for back up power. Great unit! Easy assemble out of the box....was up and running in 15-20 minutes. We will never be without power. What a relief knowing we won't have to go throught that again! I recently had a friend who's an electrican install a 10 circuit transfer switch. This unit has plenty of juice to power everything we hooked up and then some. Hopefully we won't have to use it too often but, if it goes dark again.....we're ready! Thanks Generac

I picked up the GP 6500E generator today. All parts were present and the assembly was easy. The unit started right up with the electric start. The generator appears to be well built and has good operating directions. It ran my power tools without a blip. The wheels and pull handle makes moving the generator on the ground easy but it isn't lightweight. It takes two people to lift it into a pickup. A separate battery charger is included as the electric start battery is not directly charged from the generator. I'm impressed so far and look forward to many years of usage.

This unit is able to be stored and rolled out when needed. I use it as home backup generator and it runs everything great. I wish it was quieter, but it’s not too bad. There is some rattling on the heat shield. But once it gets heated up it pretty much goes away.

This is a great product for the price.The generator starts easily and runs fairly quiet.The fuel tank is huge and i can get about 8 hours out of a tank.I gave it 4 stars for only one reason and that is because of the wheels.This generator is very heavy and they should have sealed bearings on the wheels because when you have to move it on grass it is hard to push or pull.
