I did my homework prior to my purchase and the only negative thing i could find is that it was loud when running under a full load. Well, i decided i could sacrifice noise for comfort and let me tell you, I LOVE IT!!!!! This unit runs my entire house without fault!!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. When my Father-in-Law saw i had ordered one, he too got on the band wagon and is very pleased with his as well. We both loose power quite often and as far as i am concerned, it has already paid for itself after multiple power outages. Don't loose any sleep over deciding, GO GENERAC OR GO BROKE!!!!!

Service beyond the sale was great though I was given some confusing information from the the company recommended technician who serviced the product post installation. The 22kw generator was set up with parts supplied with the generator and was set up by an electrician as part of my new home build. Long story, short, there was a flex gas line supplied by the company to be used to connect the generator to the hard pipe gas line from my propane tank. The tech told me in no uncertain terms that the flex pipe was inappropriate to connect the main gas line to the supply line as the vibration caused by the generator could cause the flex line to fail and should have been hard piped directly to the generator. The propane supplier disputed that theory and told me that vibration caused by a hard piped connection would be more likely to crack and lead to either a fire and or explosion than a connection made with the flex pipe that was supplied with the generator. Otherwise, so far I'm satisfied with the product and follow up service that was provided.

I bought this last year when Michigan was out of power; yes, practically the entire state was out because of a massive ice storm. I was without power for 3 days, called the Genarac dealer and they installed the next day. There was a small problem, they installed the wrong size generator (18KW instead of the 22) but, because it was an emergency, they installed, but didn't bury the lines and set in the ground. They came back after the ice storm and replaced and reset. It runs for 5 minutes every Saturday. Good thing, a year later, another ice storm. Power went out and I didn't even know it. I woke up to everything running, including my robot vacuum. Wasn't till about 1/2 hour later that I realized the generator was running. My only complaint, after about 24 hours, I could smell gas (propane) in my house. I didn't know if it was just the fumes from the generator or if I had a gas leak from ice. But once the generator shut off, the smell went away. So, I guess it was just fumes.

When installed we were very pleased. In the past year it was only needed for a few hours but the ease of mind is well worth it. Sound is a bit loud and weekly testing is very reliable, The wifi needs improvement when the signal is lost. It is a bit difficult to reconnect. Our installer was excellent.

I bought this magnificently engeneered machine in February this year. My neighbours and friends made fun of me, saying that I didn't need a generator for the entire house. The thing is, I work from home online. No power = no revenue. I own five pets. No power = no drinking water because I have a surface well. No power = no drinking water (for humans too), no flushing, no showering nor bathing. Since the installation a month ago, we have had five power outages which would have cost me five days of work. The transition to the generator power is absolutely seamless, in fact, I was not aware of any of those outages, happily working away in my home office...I learned through the neighbours' complaining about the length of time it took to reestablish power. On a couple of occasions, I could hear a 'lawnmower' going and thought to myself 'who on earth would mow the lawn under three feet of snow! Only then did I realize that the lawnmower noise was actually the generator doing its job! lol I am so glad I did not listen to my neighbours and friends! I rated four stars only because there was a set back with the installation date.

I am very satisfied with the unit itself, however I would never recommend the company used for the installation. They were the worst, most disreputable company ever (ACS Home Services of Tampa Florida) It took us 7 months to get it installed after signing the contract, and they demanded payment in full before they would even deliver the unit to our house after a $1,500.00 deposit at signing.

Bought this over the winter and have already lost power for three days. Generac saved our food in freezers and fridges. Last year we lost everything. Like the AP so if you are away from home you can see it if it is running. Also since we are on a well, Generac kept the water running! Lights, water, kitchen, wifi all good.

I wish I had better things to say but I feel the company that installed the unit did a poor job the unit leaks oil and when I told them about it on the 1st maintenance visit, they wanted charge me extra this was part of the installation and has been leaking ever since . Other folks may have a better experience with this brand I think it was just the company that has installed mine .

Been over a month and I have no resolution to an Engine Speed Alarm/Fault that renders the system to not initiate automatically as designed when my power goes out. Without this key feature operating correctly I feel dissatisfied. No eta has been provided for a fix which adds to my frustration.

This is my second home with a generac and I am very disappointed in the new unit on my current home. It keeps encountering errors after it starts running which defeats the purpose of having a generator. It's terribly disappointing to spend so much money to prevent energy outage at our home/business, but with no better outcome than others that have not installed a generac. I truly hope that this software issue with our new generator will be resolved soon by generac.
