Awesome features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 3600 Generator is really great. First I love that it comes on wheels so that when the husband is not home I can maneuver it by myself.. I like that it I gas powered only so when we have rough Oklahoma weather and the electric goes off I still have a way to have some power. Make sure you read the instructions for set up before you start your generator. I love how it is easy to use and easy to store! I got mine free from the TRYIT program but you can get yours where Generac is sold.

Great Gen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very simple to put together and it fired up on the first pull. We use this for our camper should we go out in the woods without hook ups. Like I stated it fires right up and works AWESOME. My brother is looking for one and I have suggested this to him.

Generac for the win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We own the house at the very back of our cul-de-sac which just happens to be on a separate utility line from the rest of our neighbors. We lose power for a few hours quite often, and it becomes very inconvenient if you're in the middle of dinner, or the big game is on! We love the ease of hookup in the Generac generator we got. Wheel it out, start it up and plug in! The CO2 monitor built in is extra peace of mind for us. We are now going to have the transfer switch installed to make it even easier! Thanks Generac for taking care of my family!

Good product

Bought this as a replacement for a Coleman 5500 Vertex that quit producing power. Assembly was straight forward for the wheel kit and handle. Started right up and is noticeably quieter than my old unit. I like the pull cord backup if the battery is dead. Its also nice that is has a fuel gauge. My complaints are the non-charging engine so the battery is only charged from the included 120 volt charger. The other complaint is the electric start switch is on the front panel of the unit and the choke which you have to set before starting and then adjust/turn off upon starting is on the end of the unit. Either move the switch near the choke or add a choke adjustment cable pull on the front panel.

Old Reliable!!!

We have had this unit going on 7 years now. Used it on and off over years. Never missed at beat!!!!. Fired right up after being stored outside in a deck box in zero degrees at our old house one winter. It lives inside the garage now at our current house. It's comforting to know that this unit works as well as it does. Plenty of power that's for sure. As a matter of fact we just got done using it today during a power outage due to a recent ice storm. It's easy to transport as well even being as large as it is. My wife that's 5'5 can move it around with ease. You can't go wrong with it.

Power and reliability when you need it

This is my 2nd Generac generator and I purchased this one for home backup. I have found the Generac brand to be there when I needed it. My 5500 portable is great, but because I added a large shed, needed just a little more. Found them easy to start and maintain and are extremely reliable.

Only generator I considered buying.

Great product, well made, starts immediately with electric start. I only ran it for a short time after installing the house electrical transfer panel. Generator handled everything with no problem. I do wish that there would be an oil filter for the engine. I know someone with a 10,000 watt generator and that has an oil filter.

Easy to operate and runs the whole house.

In order to run the entire house (4,000 square feet 5 bedrooms), I had a new panel installed in my house and bought the 1500E. Minimal assembly was required. Be aware this is a heavy generator, so you will need help unloading. Runs perfectly. The only issue was that it cut off unexpectedly during a test run and wouldn't do anything - turnover, etc. After referring to trouble shooting section, I checked the fuse - it was broken. Do your self a favor and buy some extra fuses... $2 can save you some headaches. Already have 80 hours on the unit after Hurricane Irene and this October 16" of snow we got in Jersey, so I am loving this generator. Two of my neighbors are buying the same unit after hanging out at my place.

Ready!

I found the unit to be well made. As big as it was, it is easier to move than I thought it would be. Well balanced. All features are well marked. I purchased the unit for power outage during severe weather. This unit replaces a smaller unit that could not handle all of our needs. The investment will be worth it when we lose power again out here in the country.

Powerful Generator

I purchased this portable unit about 3 weeks ago, and it is a wonderful generator. I do have a few issues with it though. First off, it is way to loud. I had to build a house for it about 100 ft away from the house to avoid hearing about it from my neighbors. My other issue is being able to read the fuel gauge to know how much fuel is in the tank without me having to look directly inside the tank. I had a GP3250, and it was very easy for me to read the fuel gauge, but the fuel gauge for the 7500E is not reader friendly. Besides those issues, I have to admit that it has a lot of power to keep your house powered up for a lengthy period of time.
