I recommend this product

The generator is easy to use and to move around. The portability makes it useful in a number of different situations. The generator is a bit noisier than I would like, however, the convenience and ease of use out weighs this distraction. Should we experience another hurricane, we will be quite comfortable and safe. We plan to have this wired into our system so that our whole house will have power in the event of an extended outage.

Quality Generator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good powerful Generator. It will keep my furnace, refrigerator, and freezer working during a power outage. The instructions to assemble the Generator could have been better. It took a little time to assemble it. Overall a really quality Generator.

Great Portable Generator

We lost power due to a storm and it was going to be at least of couple of days before it came back. I bought this one in a pinch but hindsight I'm really glad I did. Very easy to operate and starting was a snap. I was easily able to run my two refrigerators and three freezers, with room for more. I'll get this tied into the house and be able to run my well and furnace as well. Great product!

Generac reputation

This is my second Generac generator. The first one that I had lasted over 14 years. I sold it because after we sold our house, the new one we purchased was larger, and the 6500 w we used could not power the entire house. So, I sold it for a good price, because it was a Generac, it has a reputation for quality that lasts. This new generator GP15000E has the power to power the entire house! It is heavy, but because it has a solid cage frame on pneumatic wheels, (located in a balanced location) it is fairly easy to move. All the controls are easy to reach and read, and with the electric start, it is effortless! The only drawback is the noise factor, however, almost all gasoline generators are noisy! If this one lasts like the last one, I will have it for a long, long time!

Great Features and Value, but lacking in Documentation

I really think you did a good job designing this product. The Maintenance will be quite easy based on how it;s designed. I really like that the Oil Filter, & Air Filters are VERY EASY to access. Changing Oil with the attached discharge hose will be Easy & Clean. That being said, I really don't understand what you provide such useless Documentation. The assembly details are so Tiny I had to use a Mangnifier to be able to see them. Additionally the Hardware defined in many locations was not the Hardware required. It's really no n=more expensive to provide GOOD Documentation than it is to provide Poor Documentation. Additionally, I was missing Hardware, and had other Hardware that was not used. The instructions are Vague & unclear for anyone who has not assembled oner of these already. That part really needs to be rewriten!

Just what we needed for small home back up

This is just what we needed for a back up generator. We live in a very wooded rural area and power outages in the winter can be brutal when temps drop below minus 20. The GP6500 is perfect because it is portable and reliable. Now when we lose power during a winter storm we grab the generator out of the garage and plug it into the transfer switch and it keeps us and our house from freezing.

good quality machine and good price

Just got generator today, it is replacing an older, smaller one of another brand. Put it together with no problems and it cranked right up and ran smooth. This will be for occasional use as a home backup generator. Looking forward to many years of service from it.

Better than the rest.

After extensive research, IMO this unit has all the spec's I require to run my home in an emergency power outage. After Irene and Sandy leaving me out of power for a combined 25 days, I don't have to split wood any more. This unit was more than adequate for running the 240v essentials in my home, furnace, water pump, water heater and my son's fish tanks. I suggest getting a unit that is a little more than you need. This one is 50 amps, My new GP15,000E was a lot quieter than I expected and the idle switch is great, only runs engine to speed as power is required. Generac should do a DB sound test on these units and post the results as it would no doubt better persuade folks to purchase these portable generators. It should also come with 4 locking wheels.

This generator is very reliable, started up first time and used during hurricane last summer and 2 times since on short power outages.

Compared several modals, sizes, features, the generac was the best overall. Very reliable, easy to use. Had power through hurricane for refrigerator, window a/c , most house lights, made a 4 day power outage tolerable. Had a 12 hour outage recently, I had just come home from a triple bypass, instructed my wife how to start and she got power to house in matter of minutes. Would not want to be without it.
