I purchased this generator after the issues with Hurricane Irene. When this storm hit and we lost power, I simply brought out the generator, hit the switch and forgot about it. It performed great. I ran my boiler, refrigerator and a TV. I have and will continue to highly recommend this product.

We got tired of being hot and sitting in the dark. Unpackaged unit and filled with supplied oil and added fuel. Came with choke in the on position and started first pull. Runs lights, fans, tv, and cell chargers easliy. Not super quiet but not loud for what it is. Very happy so far!!

I have yet to put many hours on this generator so my overall rating could possibly go to five stars in the future. My electrician highly recommended Generac brand of generators. My brother also owns a Generac in a very similar model. He has been happy with his model and tells me the model I purchased will power everything I need at home during a power outage. I feel confident that I now can keep my home safe and warm when the next power outage occurs.

Selected the GP7500E above two other choices. Assembly was easy but, I was filling up the gas tank and the gas was leaking out the carb almost as fast as I was pouring it into the tank. Called customer service and found out this is a know problem! Now, instead of taking it to our cabin this weekend, I am taking it to a Generac Service Center. Very unhappy that it is leaking gas out the carb and it is a know problem! Maybe I will get a gift card for all my problems.......but......I don't think so!

Have only run a few tests in the first 3 days of owning. Time will tell as to reliability and durability. Price reasonable. Noise level is pretty high but placement is critical. and in our case not a significant issue. Looked at others, but this seemed to exhibit best combination of size,price,reputation,and warranty. So far so good.

After several power outages (ice, wind storms, etc.), I bought this generator after the recommendation of an electrician friend. He has one for his home, and he definitely made a great recommendation. While I was out of town one evening, all the power went out in the neighborhood. My 16-year old daughter was able to pull the generator out of the garage, run extension cords, and connect the refrigerator and two freezers. She had help from a friend, only because she had never used it before. We didn't lose any frozen or refrigerated items. Highly recommend this generator for home use!!!

The generator is easy to use and to move around. The portability makes it useful in a number of different situations. The generator is a bit noisier than I would like, however, the convenience and ease of use out weighs this distraction. Should we experience another hurricane, we will be quite comfortable and safe. We plan to have this wired into our system so that our whole house will have power in the event of an extended outage.

We have had the 17500 for a few years now and it has been great for us. We live near a national forest so when power goes out it generally stays out for several hours to several days. We do the regular maintenance on her and have a trickle charge solar panel on the battery. It definitely burns through fuel, however, it runs EVERYTHING. Also is very heavy, so have so.e strong people around if you need to move it or place it strategically and then buy a sturdy after market cover to keep it out of the elements.

Very pleased with the operation The noise level is very low compared to another brand and living in a subdivision is very good to have this Only use it once so far and it performed excellent Already mentioned it to a friend who want me to install one for him

We chose to purchase a Generac generator as we live in Eastern Canada which is prone to cold snowy winters. We purchased and had installed a generator and Homelink. The unit powers most of our house. It is very dependable and very easy to use. There is nothing confusing about its use. I really like the guarantee and ease of getting it serviced if necessary.
