Very disappointed

I have owned this generator approximately five years, it only has 60 hrs on it. It has been in auth shop twice and has had four new fuel pumps. Also new voltage regulator It has now blown the fuse behind the control panel and blows another as soon as installed?? I seldom post negative comments on products. In fact this is my first!!!! Very disappointed!!!

a couple of suggestions

Putting the machine together in a cold garage was a real "thrill". None of your vendors offered this service. The cotter key for the wheels is a real challenge. There has to be a better, easier way to do this little task. Many naughty words were said. For accessories, why not casters for the front of the machine?? Something designed by you, designed to fit properly, would be a nice feature. Try lifting this thing to pull it out of a garage when you are 70, with a bad back. Everything works as it should, and the directions are easy to follow, and it started the first time.

Very good produce, expected more features at this price.

This generator has it all. Electric start, hour meter, circuit breaker switch. So I was a bit surprised it did not have automatic idle. I might be wrong but it seems to run full blast 24/7. If I am mistaken please let me know. Apart from that feature, the generator runs fantastic. A bit loud but I can live with that. For thhe power rating I'm happy.

Heavy Duty & Does the Job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no basis for comparison, as this is my first generator, but I'm excited to get this guy going . Aesthetically, it's a little bigger than I was probably looking for, but hopefully that translates to more power. I could also do with a color other than orange. Upon opening I was able to start it up with one pull, after putting some gas in. It is a little loud, but I feel completely ready for some camping or the apocalypse.

Hurricane Auxiliary Power

I bought a GP8000e 3 years ago but didn’t need to use it until now. I turned this generator on Wednesday night after hurricane Ian had passed. It’s been running for 5 days straight. I do change the oil every day, not sure if that’s necessary. It’s been running the lights, two air conditioners, tv, refrigerator… I’ve even used the washing machine.

GP7500e

Live in rural area and lose power at least once a year. Wanted portable generator that would power well, fridge/freezer and heat. Generac 7500e fit the bill after reviewing other generators. easy to use and was able to combine it with a manual transfer switch for the house.

Great overall unit but…

We purchased our generator just before hurricane Helene came through as our older generator of 20 years stopped working. The new unit worked fine for the week we were without power but started dripping some oil the last two days. After speaking to Generac and then taking it to an authorized repair dealer we were without the unit for almost six months due to no part available. Thankfully we didn’t need the unit as we never lost power during that time but that is way too long to wait for a repair.

This Generator is excellent .

I have not had a chance to run this generator for an extended period of time yet, but I know that it is easy to start and has sufficient power rating to run a refrigerator, freezer, television, a microwave, and two electric heaters, and a few lights during a power outage. Easy to roll it into service and place into service.

Purchased Sep 2018 - Won't Start

I bought one of these about two years ago. It ran fine for 40 minutes the first time we used it. The generator had plenty of power and was reasonably quiet. The appearance and quality of construction appear to be much better than other similar size generators. For the next few months the generator was taken out, started and run a few times for testing. The next time we actually needed it, the generator ran for about 5 minutes and quit with a CO sensor alarm light on. The generator was outside, under a deck, but not enclosed in any way. Exhaust was pointed away from the house. We couldn't get it to run any more for that outage. It only has 1.4 hours on the meter, cranks good, but will not fire. Since then, I've dragged it outside, gone through the manual and tried several times to get it to run. It has plenty of oil and gasoline. It cranks good but has no spark, won't fire. I've looked, but have not found any place in the area that appears capable of servicing this generator. I suspect the CO sense system is defective, but since I can't find a reliable place for service, the generator and any warranty are completely useless.
