We purchased item and it took longer than expected to receive it and that was frustrating considering the price we paid for it. We haven't got to use the product yet as we just picked it up from the store on 12/08/2021 which was more than a month since we purchased it. We will update more if we actually get to use the generator this winter more than just starting it.

This is just what we needed for a back up generator. We live in a very wooded rural area and power outages in the winter can be brutal when temps drop below minus 20. The GP6500 is perfect because it is portable and reliable. Now when we lose power during a winter storm we grab the generator out of the garage and plug it into the transfer switch and it keeps us and our house from freezing.

I got this generator after Irma hit and I was with out power for 6 days. I got it set up and had a manual transfer switch put it so I can power my entire house. I tested it today and it will run my central AC with out even breathing hard. I have 1600 square feet under air. I have not tested it yet but am figuring it will run out central AC, fridge and freezer with out much of an issue (as long as they don’t kick on at the same time). As for the noise level, it’s not quite by any means but I have used much loader generators that were much loader. It has a very low tone that is tolerable. Over all, I am currently very pleased.

Just the right size with the right features and at the right price. Wired it in myself with a Reliance generator transfer switch. Bought a GenTent for wet weather use. Had to use it twice already and it worked out great. I'm very happy with my GP3600.

I'm no Nor Cal and have been experiencing the PG&E Power Safety Shutoff. My neighbor had one of these 8000's and I was fortunate enough to find one as well. Electrician came and wired it into my panel and wow...my whole house just runs like it's on PG&E. Some little weird stuff to get used to, like when the well kicks on, the LED lights in the kitchen flicker for a second but no big deal. Hot showers (propane hot water heater), lights, etc. I go into a room and turn on the light...just like normal. Only complaint is it's loud so getting it away from the house is important but we just close up the windows and deal with a bit of a hum to have power.

I had purchased a Westinghouse Generator and it had all kinds of issues. Before I took it back I did finely get it to run. I don't know who makes there motor but it just sounded very cheep, loose and claney took it back Fast forward I decided after researching several other top notch units I decided on this Generac GP8000e. I was missing things not in the main box but the place I bought it from supplied it all so all was good. I connected the battery, it was charged up, added the oil added mid grade gas, turned on the gas flow to the carb and it started right up and this motor is tight and sounds like a top notch motor. My only regret would be the tool kit that Ace gave me was the cheapest 2 wrench's I think I have ever seen in my life and I don't think they are relevant to anything. i was also missing oil and they gave me Pennzoil and not Generac oil and I heard Generac is the best. Buy it you you wont be disappointed!!!

Bought this generator during a storm where half our province was out of power for over a week. I utilize it as a whole home backup generator, it has enough power to run my well pump and sump pump as well as heating my water when I need it to. it starts right up without hesitation and runs smoothly. The frame and wheels are very rugged to carry it around since it is on the heavy side. the only down fall that I found with it was that it is quite noisy so I will be building an insulated cover for it. Extremely satisfied, never looked back.

I JUST RECEIVED MY GENERATOR TODAY. I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE SOLID DESIGN, EASE OF ATTACHING HANDLES, WHEELS AND FRONT STAND. I AM REPLACING A 2500---3000 WATT GENERATOR THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO SMALL TO RUN MY 220 VOLT WELL PUMP--I WAS OUT OF ELECTRIC POWER FOR 11 DAYS AND WANT TO BE READY NEXT TIME.

The.instructions for assembly were easy to follow. The instructions were straight forward with all parts included. The generator started on the second pull and worked flawlessly. I feel confident the generator will help keep my family comfortable during an extended power outrage. Having the generator and being able to connect it to the house is very convenient.

I live in a single home with oil heat and during the winter I need something to run all of the major things in the house if my power is lost this generator for the price is the best purchase that I've ever made it starts every time on the first or second pull I never had a problem with the needing more power than it supplies and if I do overload the circuit The Breakers work and help me to be confident so that my family is not left in the dark
