Competition cannot touch product features for the price!

I've owned three generators in the time I've resided in my current home for 27 years. My previous brand also contained a Generac generator module, still functional after 15 years! My new purchase of a GP7500 was based on my previous experience with Generac. I have nothing but good words for Generac as it has prevented numerous flooded basements, loss of food in refrigerators and freezers and comfort with running water, heat/AC and lighting for my family during days of power outages.

Simple setup, very simple to use.

Bought this generator to replace the under powered, old and pretty beat one Iv'e been limping along for years. I live in the rural part of NY and depend on electricity for almost everything from water to heat. The crazy weather lately has taken out the power several times already this year. The 7500 will power everything with ease. With the electric start feature, I'm now spoiled. Great machine.

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!

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.

The GP6500E is just what I needed for my 5th wheel camper.

I had researched different generators for use with my 5th wheel camper. I wanted a output range of 6000 - 7000 watts. In looking at the various brand that were available on the market I found that the Generac GP6500E was within the range I wanted. It had the option of battery or pull start with a battery wall charger. There was a 120/240 twist outlet that I would be able to use a twist adapter to convert to the existing power cord on the camper. The large capacity fuel tank would give me longer times between fill ups. With the additional four 120 volt outlets I could also plug in any additional electrical component outside the camper. My determining factor was that Generac makes generators of all ratings and uses and that they would have the dependability and reliability that I would need. They also have a toll free number to call for service 24/7.

Initial impression of 7500E

After a tornado last November left us without power for 3-1/2 days, I decided to take the leap and install a transfer switch and purchase a portable emergency generator. I researched and looked at a lot of brands but always found myself coming back to Generac. I decided on the 7500 E and purchased it at a local big box store and took it home. Packaging was excellent and everything was in pristine condition out of the box. I inspected the frame and it is a very rugged design which I believe will give many good years of trouble free service. 30 minutes later I had it assembled, oil & gas added, and it started immediately when I pushed the start button. It is smooth running, quieter than I though it would be for its size, and easier to move around than I thought it would be for its weight, thanks to the sturdy fold down handle and wheels. I ran some garage loads on it to break it in and the voltage held steady at 119.8 volts regardless of load. I haven't used it in an emergency situation yet, but it performed exactly as advertised right out of the box. I am 100 % glad I bought this generator and I am very satisfied with my choice so far. I would recommend this generator to anyone who is looking for ease of assembly and more than enough power to keep them comfortable in any outage. Hopefully we won't have another tornado any time soon, but with this machine I am confident that we will be ready for whatever nature throws at us.

hard to move

I give this 17500E a 5 star rating. The only con I have is the portability. I have to move the gen. around. I mounted a heavy duty caster with brake the second day I owned it , this totally changed the portability, I can move it around with one hand. Also I believe the handle needs to be adjustable so you don't have to do a shoulder lift to get it rolling.

Very Poor Cust Service !!!!!!!!!

Gen delivered and missing stabalizer foot Cust Service needs Major Improvement.. 4 Calls in and still no where not even a case # sent to my email . Try to ask for a supervisor and you are blocked. Thanks for your commitment to quality. No where on your manual does it say when you call in to have your serial # with you .. That would be nice So far going on 7 days and still not able to fire up generator "Thanks" If you are thinking about buying a Genrac product Look elswhere first ! I am sorry already I purchased this

Excellent generator

I use this generator five days a week, all day long. It is a work horse. My only complaint is that the electric start is not dependable. Since the generator starts so well with the pull starter this is not a deal breaker. It is of interest that I've had a few Generac 8,000 watt electric start generators and they all have electric starters that are flaky. Since they pull start so well I live with it.

Excellent value.

I bought this generator for back up power for my farm house a few days before Hurricane Florence. It was easy to set up, easy to start and provided all the power I needed to keep lights on and water for my horses. A great investment. I highly recommend this generator.
