Great features and extremely easy to use

I bought this unit as a backup for our new home and I'm extremely happy with the investment. This is a very easy to use and maintain unit that takes care of all of our needs. Thank you for a great product.

Great home/business generator

We use our generator for special events and for backup purposes, not very noisy for its size/power, fuel efficient and very reliable, I would highly recommend the GP17500E!

Easy to use and assembly

Excellent, product all the features you need in a portable generator and large enough to run the entire house. And store it away when you don't need it.

Fast and easy set up. Great price.

We purchased this generator in anticipation of another severe winter. It was fast and easy to set up and it was a great value compared to other brands we checked.

Love my new GP8000E Generator

Well built generator, and very quiet running. I am very happy with my new Generac GP8000E generator. Started and ran the first time. Owner's manual is easy to read and understand. I give it a five stars overall rating.

easy to handle

From the time I opened the box, I new it was going to be a good day. Easy assembly, nice looking and ready to go. After I did the preliminary's the generac started right away. Worked as expected. Tks Generac....

Product is easy to use

I purchased this as backup when we lose electricity. It was very easy to setup, has good features and is very easy to run.I was surprised at how little I had to do to get it running.
