Great Value

I picked this unit up on sale and am very pleased with the features I received for the money I paid. This generator will power the biggest share of my house and is still portable enough to take to my cabin. Can't imagine how I got by with out it.

Great purchase

I had to use the generator about 1 week after purchase. I had it installed with a transfer switch. It was easy to use. It supplies enough power to run my whole house. We ran it for 4-5 hours without any issues.

Generac 7500e

Product has great features, especially like the hour meter and fuel gauge. Unit is very easy to start. Would have preferred air filled rubber tires but these will do. Assembly is very easy.

Generac Electric Start Portable Generator

We love our new GP8000E 8000-Watt Generac Electric Start Portable Generator. Installation went quick and professional. I highly recommend this generator.

Great generator. Generac is still living up to its name. Best of the best!!

Extremely quite. Takes quite a load before even phasing the machine. Very lite in weight for its size. Easy to stow away especially if space is limited

Good Product so Far

Cranked this for the 1st time yesterday and didn't even need to be choked. Assembly was quick but could have been a little clearer in the instructions and more oil. It is running well now and have not have any issues.

just purchased so can't say good or bad.

There are a lot of exposed wires that could be better enclosed so the chance of them catching on anything and getting damaged. Starts easy, easy to put together.

Great unit for the $

I purchased this unit to power my home in case of a power outage. Hard to find a unit for this price with this much power. Easy to assemble and seems well built. Have not used it yet so really cant review the functionality.

This product will meet power outage needs

Never owned my own generator. Have had to rent in the past. Decided to purchase my own to have for power outages. Haven't used yet, but from other reviews, I know it will be easy to operate and fulfill my needs.
