Retired my older Generac for this newer more powerful generator that was on sale. We love how easy it starts and the nicer panel lets you monitor output. There is now plenty of power for our emergency situations. If you don't have a generator or are wanting to upgrade, then this is your baby.

It runs good and the hurricane is over and I will store it until the next one hits and some poor people need power and I will hook it up for them as I did this time. Hope it works the. As a retired Millwright I have stored it with all precautions needed to use it then.

This generator performs very well. I really like the fact that the 240 volt plug has a real circuit breaker rather than the pop out type. Makes a big difference in hot weather. The only thing I don't like is that it does not charge the battery when running. After multiple starts you have to charge it with a charger.

Turned it on and no electric powe on all the outlet. Pressed the circuit breaker still no power. Got a pencil a pushed harder and got power. Those buttons have to be pushed in deeper than I would have expected . Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. We have been lucky, haven't lost power yet.

Product fantastic price wise compared to generators of less quality. Product has a pleasant physical appearance and we love the color. We appreciate the recoil starter just in case the battery goes down or bad. Noise level much lower than other models we have seen. Control panel easy to read.

Third generator I have tried, this one is a winner....hold 5th wheel and enough for all my power tools for construction project on land without electric. Always starts like a champ..runs really quiet with good run time....only thing I would like to see is an adapter to permit larger gas tank for longer run time..........

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to start! This thing is heavy! After reading the instructions assembly seemed easy enough! It was about 30 minutes for assembly. I like that it has wheels making i extremely easy to move. The handle locks in place to move it and unlocks to store it. We are in the Midwest in an old neighborhood that has consistent power outages. This will make those days so much less stressful! We added the oil and fuel. It had a gage to show how much fuel is in it. After connecting the battery it took a couple of tries to start, I am guessing allowing for the fuel to cycle through. It has a push start and a pull start. It tells you hw much run time it has which is really convenient. You just push the button to stop. It was not extremely loud I would say comparable to a lawn mower in way of noise. It has a consistent run time of 10 hours which is great we've never been without power quite that long! It has 4 outlets. This has a 30 amplifier fpe 240 volts with a gfi outlet.

I bought the GP8000E to replace my Honda 7000 that was over 25 years old. The setup was relatively straight forward except for attaching the battery cables. When I unclipped the zip tie holding the battery leads for shipping, I didnt notice that the power connector for the starter had become disconnected, probably when I cut the zip tie. I called Generac Support as the electric start was not working and they had me check all the connections including the power connector for the starter. I connected it and the generator started right up. I've only had it for a month but I love it as its easy to operate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve lost power four times this summer due to intense Philly storms, and I can honestly say the Generac Tri-Fuel Portable Generator 50ST came in clutch every single time. Setup was straightforward, and the tri-fuel option (gasoline, propane, or natural gas) gave us flexibility depending on what we had on hand. We mostly ran it on propane, and it powered everything we needed — fridge, lights, fans, and even the Wi-Fi — without breaking a sweat. The runtime is solid, and the peace of mind it gave us during outages was worth every penny. It’s not the lightest piece of equipment, but it’s built to last and easy to move with the wheels. Noise level is totally manageable for a unit this powerful. If you live in an area prone to storms or unreliable power, this generator is an absolute game-changer. After this summer, I wouldn’t be without it.

Purchased to replace a 12 year old Generac 6500 that I use for emergency power. As I live along the Gulf Coast it doesn’t take a hurricane for us to loose power. Ran 8 days on generator power Zeta and the ol’ Generac didn’t miss a beat. After quick final assembly, oil and fuel this new unit fired up on the second pull. Looking forward to not having to concern myself about power loss for another 13 years!
