GREAT BUY !!!

From the delivery to setting up the transfer switch, all went well. The generator was easy to set up, & started on the first shot. I plan on using it for jobs in the yard, parties & tale gating, but most of all for power outages !

power to spare

I just purchased my Generac and I must say it has the power to run everything I need it to run. I ran a test to see how it would perform and I have no complaints whatsoever. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

this product will let you down!

Pull starter is very cheaply made(plastic parts!) broke the t handle in only 36hr. of run time and the rest of the recoil broke and now I can not start the generator! also very noisy!

Great value

Just purchased my first Generac, very happy with the quality. Loose power in our area, most people in our area have the automatic standby units with great reliability. We're selling soon so we went with the large portable one.

I just have this generator installed and run for 10 min.

Install is easy and electric start is very good. Run for 10 minuet with vacuum. So far very good. Have not hook up with electric panel yet. I will have electrician to install switch soon. Than will see how it actually work.

Compact set up, Easy to roll around

Bought last fall. easy assembly, battery charger works good. I just gave it a performance run and was satisfactory. Bought it as emergency power source. Electric service has been 100%. So we have not been able to give it at true test.

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.

This product is very easy to operate.

Had to purchase a portable generator before a hurricane in order to maintain medical equipment. Based on what I had read, Generac makes a quality, reliable product. This generator lives up to the Generac reputation.

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.
