Bought this generator for home backup in preparation of hurricane season. Compared to other generators at the store it offered the most features for the price. Put the oil and fuel, hit the electric start button and it started right up. Ran it for about 15-20 minutes and found no issues. Looking forward to having electricity next time a hurricane comes though.

In December of 2013 we had really bad storm, we lost power for three days we had no power in the house everything went bad, so we went and got a Generac Genitor and we haven't had another storm or power outage since. We also have a Generac Power washer.

I have a pull start which neither I or my wife can start. We always have to call our son to get it started. I decided to look for an electric start unit after looking at many different units and reading reviews, we got the Generac GP75002E. All I can say is, it's a great unit with all the power we'll ever need and at a fare price. Don't have to wait for others to get here anymore whenever we have a power outage. I would recommend the Generac units to anyone.

This unit has everything I need to power my house. The voltage and frequency is very, very stable and I have in house meters checking it. It runs my oil burner perfectly. The unit starts on the first 1/2 rotation each time. I have most of my home on this generator, except for central air conditioning, which, if I turned some other stuff off, would probably work. I highly recommend this product.

Assembly was easy, Cut out of box and followed assembly instructions. Instructions to prepare for running were very clear. Started with some difficulty, felt hard to pull to start. Second time I started it was easy. Tested it two weeks later and had no problem starting. has all the power to run what i need during power outages. Great product.

Living in Metro Detroit I unfortunately have the regional power supplier as my electric utility. Unfortunately the power is just a bit less reliable than it is in Afghanistan. After numerous outages and a ridiculous amount of damage I bought this generator. Unboxed it, put the frame and wheels together, added the oil and gasoline and it starts on the first pull (actually not even a pull - just a tug after the starter engaged). Light enough for me to lift myself, and with the wheels it is easily mobile. More than enough power to run the sump pump, freezer, and refrigerator for short spells during the numerous outages I experience. Extremely easy to use and maintain. It is unfortunate I need to own something like this at all, but since I do I doubt I could do better. Do the scheduled maintenance and it is always ready and should last indefinitely. Given the track record of the local utility they should be required to provide one for every customer.

Excellent reliability, use on job, always starting and stopping the generator.. Even dropped off of the side of a roof, and it landed up side down , still started first pull after this incident...I have replaced the pull cord once during my two years of ownership

In one year our area had two major multi-day power outages. I purchased this generator after speaking with licensed electricians and reading on-line reviews. Set up was very easy and clear. I wanted to run a test with just a small amount of gasoline (1 qt) but I needed a gallon to get everything flowing. It started and I ran it for about 20 minutes - testing electrical capacity. Seems good - let's I hope I don't need it, but if I do, it's there and I'm confident it will get the job done.

We had a standby 12K natural gas backup generator from Generac in upstate NY and when we moved to eastern North Carolina we had nothing so we decided to go with a portable. Purchased the Generac 7600E (electric start) and had a electrician wire a 10 circuit panel into our house circuits. When the power goes out, we just plug the generator into the house circuits, start it and turn on the house circuits 1 at a time. Works wonderfully. My only wish is that the electric start battery system had a meter to tell the user how much voltage was left in the battery. Overall cost about $1500.

I purchased the Generac 7500E model generator approx 18 months ago from Costco. The deal that I got on it made it a no-brainer to buy there. After getting it home and out of the box, set up was a breeze. I simply put in the oil that came with it (we'll get back to this) and fueled it up, it ran like a champ. Every 4-6 weeks I start it up and let it run. I don't keep much if any gas in it while it is stored as I make it a habit to run it out of gas. This past week Mid-Michigan got pummeled by an ice storm that left us without power from Sunday 12/22/2013 at 3:03 AM until Wednesday 12/25/2013 at approx 3:30 PM. No problem right, I have a generator. I got up threw the breaker box to off, went through my start up procedure in the freezing cold of the night and had my house running with power again in approx 20 minutes time. After everything was back in order, I went back to bed and laid there listening to the generator. After it had been running for about an hour I heard it turn off. I went to check on it only to find that it would not start. I was full of gas and had been running just fine. The electric start had the engine wanting to fire, but it would not turn over. I got it into an authorized dealer the next day, Monday. It was not ready for pick up until Friday 12/27/2013. The diagnosis, it was overfilled with oil. Now, as I said, I set this up with the oil that was provided by Generac. As I remember it, a premeasured amount. I have never added to the oil. My only guess is that when my unit was tested at the factory, the oil was never completely drained. The time I needed it most and it had run the longest, less than one hour, IT FAILED.
