Bought during a power outage and brought power back to my house very quickly. Assembly is simple and straightforward. Generator has started first pull and still starts very well with the included electric start. pushes a lot of power so nominal rating is not overrated. a bit noisy but I was amazed to see how little gas it used. Not the cheapest, but quality is top.

I've owned my 7500E for just over 8 months now. As others have mentioned, from ordering to delivery was flawless, set up took very little time. Once I had the transfer switch installed, I ran through a test of all 10 circuits with the electrician and it barely created a load on it...even he was amazed. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and feel very confident recommending it to anyone considering this model.

I purchased the GP7500E to replace a smaller 3250 generator to provide backup power for my house. Last December we had a power outage in the middle of a winter storm, the smaller generator worked for a few items, but I wanted to power more circuits in the house. I installed a transfer switch so I can power the furnace, refrigerator, TV, computer and several lights in the house I assembled the generator, added oil, gas and connected the battery. It fired up right away! I definitely like the battery start! I did a test run on the house and everything powered up as expected, now to wait for the next power outage.

Excellent performance immediately after first start. Just what we need for sump pump power. Although assembly is not difficult, the manual for assembly could be improved: The parts could be better identified, and the pictures are too small to be of any help.

I purchased this generator because the Generac generator that I had, shut down. The push rods smashed down enough to come out of the springs and not allow the valves to open and close. The only negative opinion that I have would be that the generator should come with the necessary plugs to plug into the generator. I had to go another night without power because by the time I got the generator running it was late and when I went to plug in the cord it had a different plug.

Great Looking Unit! The electric start is why I chose this unit. I installed the wheels, handle, put the oil in & connected the SUPPLIED BATTERY, put the gas in, hit the start button and it started right up. No more pulling the rope for this old guy! It does have a backup pull rope by the way. The unit even comes with charger to keep the battery charged also when not in use. Didn't see that with the other ones out there. This is a great generator and I'm glad I bought this one!

I purchased my RS 8000E for back up power in April of 2020 and had an electrician hook up a box to my breaker box so i have power to the entire house. In October we lost power for about 5.5 hours due to heavy snow and transformers were blowing out all over the area. We had just sat down for dinner with our three daughters and there boyfriends, needless to say we were the only home with power that I know of in more than a 2 mile radius. The generator worked great. I feel if you need it, it will pays for itself after just a few uses. I would highly recommend this generator.

After researching for almost a year, and talking to countless other generator owners, I decided on the Generac line of generators. After extensive comparisons of the Generac portable generators, I decided on the GP7500E since it had the electric start. From the time I ordered until receipt took about five days, and it arrived in great shape, no shipping damage or missing parts. Assembly was a breeze, and in approximateyl 30 minutes, I had the unit assembled and started up. I ran the unit for about an hour, load tested the 30 amp circuit, then packed the unit away in the garage to await the next power outage. One thing to remember about this unit....it's heavy, right at 200lbs, but once it is assembled, the design of the handle makes moving this generator around a breeze.

I bought this generator after my old one (not a Generac) quit. I always shut off the fuel and let the carburetor run out of fuel. I also use Seafoam in the gas. This helps to stabilize the fuel and keeps the jets clean. I purchased a product called Generlink that fits behind my electric meter and allows me to plug the generator directly into the meter. I also use a solar power battery tender to keep the battery charged. I am very happy with how this generator performs.

I bought this in the fall of 2012 after Katrina ripped through the Northeast. Our area was ten days without power being restored. We suffered through three days without power before getting this. Our home water supply comes from a well. No power, no water. Or heat, or showers, or communications. This unit has enough power to run the well, satellite, refrigerators, freezers, lights, coffee pot, microwave, televisions, and the list goes on. I just pulled it outside and started it up again for the second time this year. It powered up on the second pull and was running strong. I never worry about losing power now. Get the biggest one you can afford, but the 6500 will get you through any power outage with minimal disruption to your life. No regrets on this purchase. Quality machine.
