Super Power!

Generator arrived quickly and needed basic assembly. I went from box to running generator in less than a half hour. All components are solidly overbuilt and well laid out. Am impressed with the quality and highly recommend the 6500E

Generac Quality

Typical product from Generac. Priced well, easy to set up, dependable and durable. I've been stuck without power in the past, but I'm sure the 7500E will keep me plugged in and comfortable during the next outage.

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.

Reliable and easy to use

I am very satisfied with my purchase of my generator and love the electric start feature. I am comfortable knowing that it will perform should we have another power failure.

Generac Generator

Purchased the generator as a back up during bad weather or general power outages. Very happy with the product, and ease of operation. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a quality product that will get the job done.

No Power After 162 Hrs of Operation

Very disappointed that after only 162.0 hours on my GP7500 portable generator. This machine has lost all power output, plus it is out of warranty by 1 year. I'm still waiting on what it might cost to repair.
