Great Machine!

I’ve used my friends Generac generators many times. It always started right up and ran great. That’s what sold me. When the power goes out you don’t want to be fixing equipment that doesn’t work.

Looks to a very good unit

Just unboxed the unit, Very impressed the unit came with enough parts to preform the first service, Assemble is very simple, Runs very good & quiet for the size.

Did a lot of homework and in the end made the right choice

I looked at a lot of generators did a lot of homework and in the end I think I made the right choice. This product has all the features I was looking for and at the right price. Have always had good luck with Generac products so I will keep buying.

GP SERIES 7500E

Just got this GP SERIES 7500E. Looks good, built strong and started right up. Hook up to my RV to put a load on it and everything AC, Mic oven, lights and 2 TV worked good. Have to connect to house to put it to the real test!

Best so far

I have two other different brand generators and this is the best. Filled it with oil and some gasoline, connected battery, pushed start and she started right up.

How do you keep the battery charged?

I start and run my generator once a month regardless for 15 minutes. How do you keep the battery charged on this model portable generator. I am on my 3rd battery and have had 2 batteries completely fail in 4 years. Thanks

The Best

Bought this generator after our last hurricane. Works awesome. Can power up the whole house. Uses less gas than my old generator. Easy to start. After buying this, I had 4 relatives get the same exact generator. Highly recommended.

Good

Really like the push button start. Took it out of the box, put oil and gas in it and it started with first touch of the button. Comes with a charger for the battery needed for push button start.
