This generator was easy to assemble and fired-up immediately. Quieter than I expected based on neighbors' units and some of the chatter online. Easy to move the generator around. The 1% unhappiness is based on the difficulty to add the oil. The generator is designed to receive oil at an almost 90-degree angle, so you need to spend a crazy amount of time carefully adding little amounts at a time or go buy a funnel with a flexible line. Also, the oil supplied does not indicate the type/weight of the oil and neither does the generator's manual. You can find it online at generac.com FAQ section. It's easy to see why it's an FAQ.

I just purchased this generator and it was very easy to put together right out of the box. I followed the instructions in the book and added the oil and then gas. I turned the choke on and then hit the start button. The generator started right up. My friend who was helping me thought it was going to be louder than what it was. I too was surprised at how little noise it made. I then tested the voltage in all of the plugs. Everything was right where it should be. I hope I do not have to use it as a backup, but if I do I'm sure it will do the job with no problems. I bought this for our house for when our power goes out, which happens quite often. I also bought it with the intention of using it when we build our log home. I know it will be able to power all of the equipment while we work.

I love the generator. It works excellent, just as expected. Starts immediately and runs well; provides the power I need when required. The only complaint I have is the noise level when running. Surely Generac could or should have equipped the generator with a muffler system to quieten the sound emitted.

I've owned three generators in the time I've resided in my current home for 27 years. My previous brand also contained a Generac generator module, still functional after 15 years! My new purchase of a GP7500 was based on my previous experience with Generac. I have nothing but good words for Generac as it has prevented numerous flooded basements, loss of food in refrigerators and freezers and comfort with running water, heat/AC and lighting for my family during days of power outages.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has already been a life-saver this fall. Lost power briefly within two weeks receiving it. I don't have a washer or dryer, so can't comment on how it would handle an entire load of heavy appliances, but it covered everything else. I lose power a few times a year and work from home, so this is pretty essential for me! It is very heavy, so I did need help moving it and getting it out of the box to set up, but after that everything was simple.

We purchased our unit the day before Hurricane Ida hit the LA coast. Our old unit would not start so we had to get a new one. This was the only one available everyone was sold out. I am sure glad they had this unit. It was very easy to assemble. Hurricane Ida hit and the power was out for 10 days. It ran 8 to 10 hours a day and never faulted in any way. It was very easy to start, it ran everything I needed (except to central a/c). I just took it out of storage for the new hurricane season. I checked everything out filled it with gasoline and started on the first pull. Very very satisfied.

I did a lot of research on Generac generators after some co-workers recommended this product. The ease of purchase after finally choosing has been wonderful. I wanted to purchase a Stand-By but found the cost of installation was exorbitant. I chose a portable generator with a Generac Transfer Switch which turns out to be just what I needed. After losing electricity for two months after Hurricane Rita, panic sets in even when the power goes out for a short time. I would advise the purchase of generators during a time when no hurricane is already churning and causing a terrible sense of urgency.

Bought the Generac 6500E as a back up for my home. I live in New England and Power outages during the winter can be frequent. Spent 3 weeks without power the year before last and Swore that wouldn't happen again. Fortunately Did not loose power this year, but I am prepare now for the future. Product is reasonably priced, starts right up with the push of a button and runs without a hiccup. Only thing is I wish that it gave the option for alternative fuels, such as propane. Would be a nice back up incase gas stations are closed.

Ordered my Generac GP17500E after researching on-line and talking with friends who have Generac generators. To my surprise, it was ready for delivery in 1 day. Uncrated and assembled it in about 2 hours (instructions were good but could be more user friendly) and was impressed with the quality of construction. The supplied oil, spare filter, spark plug, etc., were added value. Very pleased with this generator and have recommended Generac to family and friends.

This is the perfect generator for running my house when the power goes out. It's really easy to start with the remote start and is quiet compared with other generators I've used. It has a big gas tank so your not constantly filling with gas to keep the lights on. I'm very happy with this generator and with Generac
