Within 6 months of installation we had a 2 day power out event, so the peace of mind was worth it, since it was at our 2nd home and we were not there.

My 18KW Generac standby generator is one of the best investments that I have ever made for my home. The unit supplies all of the emergency power needs to my home during a power outage, which occurs frequently in my neighborhood.

The motor is cheap and defective with zero product quality. The motor leaks oil, continuously tiny drops. We have low confidence in the maintenance provider. My friends have had similar issues. Profits appear more important than product quality.

We have 1 year with the machine and we think is fantastic. Price and noise are bit high but is a good investment. We implemented a noise isolated room with air extractors and fans, and the final result is great!

We bought it last month and hope we never have to use it for emergencies. My wife is on oxygen and needs it almost 100% of the time. We bought it so her oxygen machine would still work if we had a power outage.

We had a Generac standby generator at our previous home. It proved itself during two major ice storms and a hurricane. When we moved, we again selected Generac for our standby generator.

Everything works as planned. My install was April 2025 and I just had an event in March 2026 where the unit ran for 24 hours consecutively. No issues. And very little oil usage. My recommended installer is 5*.

This was my third Generac generator purchase over 30 plus years. I have been happy with all 3 units. I currently have an 18 KW model and I purchased a 10 KW which I gave and installed for my son's family.

Coming up on one year from installation. Not needed it yet, which is fine. It is like an insurance policy. Hope you never use it but nice to know it is there.

The experience of getting the generator and getting it installed was a big pain. It works as expected and will see how it does when the electricity actually goes out. Time will tell.
