Guess I’m turning into my Dad….have been wanting a Generator and finally broke down and bought one. Chose this model due to its capability to power most everything in my house and due to it’s ease of use if I’m at work and my family needs to use it. I also installed a Generator service to my house to make it safer to hook up in the event I’m not home. Haven’t got to use it yet other than a few test runs. Honestly hope we don’t need it but It’s a Generac so it will be ready when we do.

Just recently purchased a home in Florida, our first hurricane season and Irma made us realize that a generator is a life saver in Florida. We have only owned it for 2 months and it was a big purchase but well worth it. We only used it for 2 days it is on the loud side but it does the job we expected it to. Overall a good purchase so far... time will tell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad to have this Generac 8000 Watt Portable Generator on hand and ready for the bad weather season. We just bought our home in a very windy/snow-laden area and having a back up generator is the way to go. It took a few hours to assemble and we found that we needed to go get an additional cord, but once we did that, it started up without issue. The built in maintenance timer is great - makes it convenient to know when to change the oil, etc. The wheels truly are heavy duty. We're feeling confident that if we need it, we'll be able to keep the lights and power going for our kids without issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is easy to use and is very convenient. Yes, it takes up some room in your garage and you might not use it frequently, but in Houston hurricane season it is worth it to be prepared. This won’t power your whole house, but it will keep the refrigerator running and a couple other things powered in the event the electricity goes out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The photo shows it on its side because the wheels were being put on. However the wheels make it much easier to move around and the handle is even a better touch. The noise is not as loud as some I have heard and it was easy to start with the pull start. We plan to connect it to the house so it will run a few major appliances like the deep freezer and fridge.

I purchased this generator to replace one that i had for 20 years. So far i have used this one twice. Once for two hours and the second time for 13 hours. Easy to start and runs great. Just wish iy was a little quieter. But that is not a negative. If this one last as long as my last one i will not live to see its end. I had a Generac 7500 watt that lasted for 20 years and ran for 21 straight days and nights during an ice storm. It did not quit i killed it my not paying attention to what i was doing. I hope this one will last as long. I highly recommend Generacs.

Like so many others, going 7 1/2 days without power during the freak October Nor'easter SUCKED! I bought the GP7500E for back up power. Great unit! Easy assemble out of the box....was up and running in 15-20 minutes. We will never be without power. What a relief knowing we won't have to go throught that again! I recently had a friend who's an electrican install a 10 circuit transfer switch. This unit has plenty of juice to power everything we hooked up and then some. Hopefully we won't have to use it too often but, if it goes dark again.....we're ready! Thanks Generac

After long storage battery dead. Customer service said had to disconnect battery we will ship a bra one. Well off days off storage so it should cut off the battery. I read the manual says on will drain it turn off. Nothing about discount. That was last fall. Took battery out Month ago one start was great left battery in month later won't start. Even with new battery. Plug is super dirty and chipped. Got a new one to put in this weekend. I am sure it's going to be a tough start. Now does a plug get so dirty on 38 hours of use? Going to change oil too. Don't know where fuel filter is either manual won't say and it doesn't look like a car filter. Also that list the part number for the plug but can't find out what type. I thought generac was a good brand. I was wrong. I wish I got a different brand that just starts up. I lost everything in the fridge because this refurb can't start past 38 hours of run time. Right now it turns but doesn't turn over

I got this generator after Irma hit and I was with out power for 6 days. I got it set up and had a manual transfer switch put it so I can power my entire house. I tested it today and it will run my central AC with out even breathing hard. I have 1600 square feet under air. I have not tested it yet but am figuring it will run out central AC, fridge and freezer with out much of an issue (as long as they don’t kick on at the same time). As for the noise level, it’s not quite by any means but I have used much loader generators that were much loader. It has a very low tone that is tolerable. Over all, I am currently very pleased.

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.
