Just bought this generator yesterday for use as a backup power supply. This product is well built and will fit my needs perfectly. Assembled quickly using the included "Quick Start" guide, added oil and gas- hit the button and it started right up! Not looking forward to a power outage but happy to have this generator to keep everything running in my house if there is an outage.

Straight off the skid, gas and oil added and my Generac fired on the first pull. Even my gf has no problem firing it up. We're doing major alterations on a cabin and use the generator at least 4 days per week. Surprising how long it runs on a tank of fuel. I ckeck it several times daily and swear somebody is sneaking gas into the tank. It's a bit noisy, but outside where that doesn't matter. Before retirement, I'd been in construction but never had the opportunity to use a generac. Those boys don't know what they're missing. I'm completely satisfied, and have already boasted about my great choice. When the work is complete, my Generac will be set up for back-up power. I feel secure knowing it can be counted on in a pinch !!!

I'm no Nor Cal and have been experiencing the PG&E Power Safety Shutoff. My neighbor had one of these 8000's and I was fortunate enough to find one as well. Electrician came and wired it into my panel and wow...my whole house just runs like it's on PG&E. Some little weird stuff to get used to, like when the well kicks on, the LED lights in the kitchen flicker for a second but no big deal. Hot showers (propane hot water heater), lights, etc. I go into a room and turn on the light...just like normal. Only complaint is it's loud so getting it away from the house is important but we just close up the windows and deal with a bit of a hum to have power.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 3600 is perfect for supplying power to our 32' RV on those trips where electrical hookups are not available. This is also a great addition to any home workshop and a nice item to have for any short or long-term power outage. Here in NC foothills we have a week 2 hurricanes drop 5 or more inches of rain in a short period. We fortunate that our power did not got out but others close by had outages that lasted several days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First things first, the handle and the wheels are an extreme plus for maneuvering this baby around. My husband is the main user of this but if he's not home I know that I can handle it. It has a very powerful motor that allows us to use multiple tools at one time and not have to worry about a drop in the power. Another benefit, it starts up with one pull (I love that)! The noise consistency is at a medium level, there is no smell and it ran smoothly throughout multiple projects. having 120/240 volts are a fantastic feature along with other amenities such as, hour/minute display, ac breaker and the fuel gauge. I expect this will last is a very long time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not sure why but our area is known for frequent power outages. This generator has helped during those times. It was easy to set up and use. Started within the first few pulls. Would definitely purchase again.

i went to specifically buy this generator after much research....I wanted electric start and a quieter portable...I got it on sale which was a real surprise....Put the oil and gas in , attached battery cables and it fired right up instantly.....Way quieter than my neighbours generator of another make ....Works great ...very happy

I have always wanted one of these generators, the reputation is backed up by it's performance. Unit is packaged correctly to prevent damage. Unit is extremely easy to assemble and set up. Started up almost instantaneous the first time, and all the features are very easy to learn. I plan on using with a power transfer switch to power my house when power is lost. Great product, great company, great reputation!

A portable, reliable, economical, means of standby power. It is a bit louder than I like but wear earplugs if you are bothered by the noise level. This machine is used for jobsite applications such as a vacuum,portable halogen lighting and misc. charging. Follow the wattage charts for appliance applications to ensure you have the right size generator to handle the load required. Do not overload any machine even a Generac.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really happy to finally have a generator. This takes a little worry away knowing we are protected if an emergency arises and we find ourselves without power. I have several friends and family members who have generac generators so I knew this would be a reliable, quality product. The unit is pretty much ready to go out of the box. Easily assembly and you're up and running. It is a nice size compact unit and fairly lightweight. It has a handle for easy maneuvering. It's pretty straightforward and easy to get started. Theres also a picture chart on the unit itself listing the steps to start the unit. I was impressed with how quiet the unit actually is. I thought it was going to be this loud hunk of machine and its totally not. This generator will be great as a backup if the power ever goes out. I'm always worried about losing all our food in the fridge and deep freezer. I am impressed with the look of this generator also. Everything is labeled clearly and easy to understand. Highly recommend this product to anyone who may find themselves without power. It's always good to have on hand because you never know when something might happen.
