The Generac was an outstanding purchase.

We installed our Generac back up unit in the Soring of 2016 and our experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The generator went in with minimal effort, and is working marvelously with no worries or effort from us. We are amazed and confident now with the peace of mind the Generac has given us. I travel extensively for my job and with the Generac watching out for my family while I'm gone, I feel at ease.

Works like advertised

Works like advertised. I would recommend to anyone using LP gas that are not near a major road get a 1000 gallon tank. I purchased a 500 gal not realizing that they only fill to 80% or 400 gallons. I wish they had put a opening on the bottom of the housing to make run electric lines underground and up through the slab easy. It was hard to cut a whole through the base with a new whole saw.

Have not uses in outage

Installed fairly easily, used an electrician to connect wiring. Ran well in test. Runs every 2 weeks in automatic mode. After reading past reviews, hope it holds up for a while. Came with 49 hours on the meter, now has 51 hours on meter. Guess we'll see.

No problems with this 22KW generator

This is the second Generac generator. I move away from the first that was a 20KW on natural gas. I had no problems with it during the 7 years it was in service. I installed a 22KW on propane as soon I got settled here. No problems with this unit in the three months since installed. In Oklahoma we are subject to power outages any time.

product has a great appearance

The generator does its test every Wednesday at 1pm and is only on for 10 minutes, power went out for a couple of hours and the generator came on within seconds after the power went out and shut off when the power was restored, so far so good and now I won't have the wife upset when we don't have power, thank you " one happy customer"

The Generac Backup Generator is the best.

We have only had Generac backup generator a few months. During that time we have had some power outages. The power went out and within 5 seconds Generac back up generator started and ran just as promised until the power returned (close to an hour). We are reminded of the Generac's presence every 3 weeks when it tests itself by starting up and running for about 5 minutes. That is a reassuring sound!

It has been a lifesaver

Less than two weeks after having our whole house generator installed, a wind storm passed through our state and knocked out our power for three days. Having two 80+ year old in-laws with medical conditions living with us made the power provided by the generator a literal life saver. I would highly recommend the Generac generator. My wife says it is the best investment that we have made in the last 25 years.

First Review Post Installation

Professional interaction with installer, Spectrum electric. They know the Generac product and how to install it inside and out. Only one instance of power outage since installation. Generator performed perfectly for approx 1.5 hours during outage and kept house comfortable including heating units operation. My only complaint is that the unit is noisier than expected and location between houses amplifies the noise during operation.

Overall a good product but has poor documentation

I installed the Generac and it looks good. It has been cycling on for 10 minutes each week for the last 5 months without any problem. The real test will come when the power goes off for an extended period of time. I'm disappointed in the documentation. There needs to be a good operators manual with instructions on how to utilize the operation panel.

22KW Installation

We had our unit installed several weeks ago and had a local failure of someone hitting a trnasmission pole. The unit went on immediately and ran continuously until service was restored. I was very impressed in that not even our automatic light timers were affected.
