We bought this portable generator for the pending hurricane season. Nothing worst than being in a home for 1 week without power to run refrigerator and freezers. We researched and found Generac to be the best generator on the market. Hopefully we will not need it, but it's nice knowing you are covered if you do.

We bought a GP 6500..Great brand..one you can trust..wouldent be caught with out one..runs every thing in our house. We have an outdoor wood boiler and runs it with no problem and runs for ever..no having to go out and fill it multiple time during the night with gas to make it thru the night

Bought this after sandy and it has not let me down Runs like a champ and starts after sitting for months. If you need a generator this is the one. Runs 3 refrigerators coal stove lights and tv with plenty of amps left for other household items like water pump and hot water heater.

Last month had the transfer station installed in order to use my new 7500. This model seems like the prefect match for me. Since I'm a single older female the electric start is a blessing. This unit should get me through any power outage when the next one happens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Generac 3600 Portable Generator. Easy to start, very good product, very easy to move. Runs quietly compared to other generators. Like the feature that lets you know when its time to change oil and air filter.

Having done extensive online reviews and talked to several folks that own similar sized portable generators I confidently made the decision to buy the Generac 8500E. I ordered online, it arrived much sooner than expected and after the installation checkout it started the first flip of the switch! Buyers can trust this generator to meet their critical needs, I certainly know I do!

I bought this electric start Generac Portable generator for its Electric Start Feature. I have owned a Generac Non Electric Start Model for approximately 10 years and have been very satisfied with it. I bought this model for the Electric Start feature. I wish Generac kept the previous style handles which were separate and could be easily locked into position with the spring loaded pins. The new model uses a pin on a cable which is harder to use and flimsy. Also I do not know why Generac placed the Sticker with the Serial and Model number just below the generator motor with about 2 inches of clearance with the frame making it very difficult if not impossible to see and photograph. I had to lay on my garage floor in the cold with a digital SLR camera to photo the serial and model number and did not get the quality photo I would have liked. The Serial and Model Numbers could have been easily seen and photographed if the sticker was placed on the opposite bar of the frame which has plenty of space to be photographed which I do in the event of theft. Other than the handles and the sticker I am very pleased with the unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We own the house at the very back of our cul-de-sac which just happens to be on a separate utility line from the rest of our neighbors. We lose power for a few hours quite often, and it becomes very inconvenient if you're in the middle of dinner, or the big game is on! We love the ease of hookup in the Generac generator we got. Wheel it out, start it up and plug in! The CO2 monitor built in is extra peace of mind for us. We are now going to have the transfer switch installed to make it even easier! Thanks Generac for taking care of my family!

I've had this generator a while, it has always surged when a load was applied. I have a factory service manual.Generac would not let me speak to a tech to further diagnose it, they tell me I have to take it to a service shop. I am afraid the shop will throw parts at it until it is fixed, assuming they do not replace everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this generator a few times since getting it and I have been extremely happy with the product. No issues or concerns with starting and it provided more than enough power to supply my home during the outage.
