Great item to own!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this product, and I feel better knowing we have a generator for backup now! Was delivered in a timely manner and was in perfect condition. Easy to start. Doesn't weigh too much... it's supposed to be portable. My husband can definitely move it around. Just plug you items in and your good to go! Looks pretty cool too... Love it!

Impressive machine

This thing is a beast. I connected to a manual transfer switch with current monitors to watch and balance the connected load. I have run a few tests but haven't had a true outage yet to put it to the test. V-twin 992cc engine runs great and starts easily with the electric start. I did connect a battery tender to trickle charge/monitor the battery. Other than that it comes with everything including a spare tune up kit.

Electric start, Tri Fuel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Generac GP9500E is a portable generator capable of using gasoline, liquid propane or natural gas (Tri-fuel). With electric start and wheeled cart, this generator is easy for anyone to use. 9.5 hour run time on gasoline, (7.5 gal) 4.5 hours on a 20lb propane tank (when used at 50% power). Used a CO2 sensor to automatically stop and alert user to dangerous levels. Included are engine oil, battery, and 4 foot LP hose with regulator. Weighs in at 219 lbs and includes a 3 year limited warranty. Has (covered) 2 standard 120v 20 amp plug receptacles, one 120/240v 30 amp twist lock receptacles, and one 120v/240v 50 amp heavy duty outlet. HomeLink manual transfer compatible. This generator replaced our old one that was not push start- what a pain in the butt. This one is easy enough for anyone to switch on- not just strong people. Smooth running and much quieter that our previous portable. The ability to run three different fuel sources is just fantastic. MADE IN THE USA Can’t go wrong with Generac brand generators. Provides peace of mind that you can preserve freezer and refrigerator contents when the power goes out or for RV use. Very happy with this generator, highly recommended.

Well made, start on the first crank of the electric starter.

I live on the east coast of Florida so need a good home backup generator when the power goes out. Power was out for two weeks after the last big hurricane. The GP7500E is an upgrade from the 5500 Watt generator that ran almost constantly during the two weeks power was out. I wanted to ensure the same performance so Generac was my choice.

Great item to have handy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great item. It us loud but not horribly loud. We hooked it up to the propane tank which it started up immediately. Great handle that bends down for storage. Many plugs to be used. A great item to have in your home for emergency. Every home should have one.

Great for emergency power

I am a 65 yo woman who needed son to do initial set up before Hurricane Irene. After that I was able to service my generator myself. It ran window air conditioner, tv, computer and refrigerator and some lights, I am very pleased and recommend this product.

It is Loud but Works Well

Like others, I do find this generator to be a little on the loud side. I also have an older Generac 4000XL that is nowhere near as loud. With that said, I am very happy with the generator so far. I have run it only about 20 minutes but fully intend to give it a break-in workout this weekend. First impressions are it is substantially more than the 4000XL in ways far beyond just the wattage ratings. I like the electric start, the tank filler screen, the fuel line filter, the metal fuel shutoff valve, and many other details that just make me feel this generator is considerably more solid. I do wish it was a pressurized oil system and filter on the engine, but I could not justify the price increase to get that feature. All in all, I find this generator to be an excellent value. Yes there are trade-offs, but it will serve my home backup purposes well.

Has failed with only 37hrs

Unit purchased 4.5 yrs ago. Ran great till used this yr. Followed all required maintenance and unit stopped during power outage. Shop Arlo has replaces magnetos and now telling me needs new carb. $728 in repairs and still don't know if will run. I can not recommend this $3000+ generator when i am spending 30% cost of unit after only 37hrs. This is ridiculous and Generac has told Arco they won't do anything to help. Very disappointing for a company to treat customers this way.

Wheels/Axel Need Work

I bought this generator through home depot very easy purchase and delivery. The only suggestion I could make to Generac is that I would make a larger axel and increase the wheel size and replace with pneumatic tires. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. you can purchase pneumatic tires through a local shop and change them out! i just think Generac should just have it come standard.

Runs my entire house!

The area in which I live is always losing power. I was looking for a small generator to just run the essentials, like furnace, air conditioner, refrigerator. But this portable generator runs the whole darn house! Of course, I don't have a very big house, but this is GREAT! And so easy to start! I'm very happy!
