[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankful for my generator from Generac. Now we will always have lights and other things when power goes out, Which is nice where we live in the country and they do not get our power on quickly. I really like it has a CO detector and will cut itself off if any is detected. Now my food will not ruin if power is off. This has a long run time, large gas tank and very powerful. Was very easy to setup. My husband even uses this on our property to power his tools when needed. This will also be great to have for camping. Many uses and also shows you hours used so you know when to perform routine maintenance. Top of the line generator in our opinion.

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 as a backup to provide power to deep freezer, refrigerator, and home office computers. It was easy to connect and provides ample power for my needs. I looked at various generator manufacturers for some time. I decided on Generac because it had the features I needed; was available thru my local service station and could be delivered to my home in time to save my refrigerated food from defrosting. I only need it for 26 hours before utility power was restored. I changed the oil so I am ready for next outage. I estimated that saving the stored food paid for half of the cost of the Generator. Not missing the days work paid for the other half.

This generator is an excellent choice for backup electricity, once outages take place. I live in Florida, home of the hurricanes and when the power is gone, homes inside become 88-92 degrees warm. After this last hurricane, I said no more ... so decided to invest in not only a generator but the top free standing generator I could buy. This "Bear" as I call it ... can power the following just off the 50 amp take; 4 ton a/c, two refrigerators, microwave, TV, all lighting in the home, garage door openers. I can turn on the stove as long as the a/c unit is off. Oh ... and I supply my neighbor with a 30 amp outlet for his refrigerator and fans. The "Bear" doesn't even flinch. Two neighbors have already come by and have asked me for information on where I purchased "The Bear". There is one set back I found when assembling the electrical connections. The 50 amp receptacle located underneath the electrical panel on the generator is placed with the ground connection located at "9-o'clock". So, in order for your plug to function correctly and capable of using the safety metal pin in case of disengagement, you must use a "50 amp round male plug". Only way you can keep the proper alignment. Otherwise, by using the common 50 amp plug, the cord will be laying off to the side of the muffler where it becomes very, very hot for obvious reasons. I did not find any information as to the set up or 50 amp plugs to be used while assembling. Otherwise, this is a great generator and I am very proud of my "Made in U.S.A." product. "Quality you can see, quality you can test … because it is quality at its best".

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comes packaged nicely. All the parts for the handle and wheels comes packaged in a separate box inside the larger box, it even comes with a bottle of oil and funnel. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. It took about 45 minutes to attach the wheels and handle and fill with oil and gas. It wheels in and out of the garage so easily and the handle folds down to save space while in the garage. It has a pull start and it started on the first pull. While it is running it is just as loud as lawn mower, so it's not overly loud. We hooked it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel. This particular generator is enough for our oil furnace, refrigerator, and a couple lights to run all at the same time. It has an hour meter so you can easily keep track of the hours of use for maintenance purposes. So far, it does what it is suppose to do and I am happy with it.

Got this product 5 days before the Epic Sandy. Hooked it up and waited for the storm. When the power went out the generator started right up and we ran it for 60 hours in intervals until we got power back. Recommend buying this unit and buy the right cabling to hook up. We are extremely pleased with the investment and ease of use once the unit is hooked up and ready to go.

I would just like to thank you for making a affordable generator for home use. I purchased this unit and brought it home and promptly assembled it. I assembled it in no time with all of the parts being there. Now, I was ready to gas it up and see how it worked but I had one problem I could not get it off the truck. Finally, friends came by and helped me unload it. Gassed and oiled it up and the moment of truth was near, two tries and she fired up. I ran it at my daughters outside wedding for 7 hours and not a problem nor a leak. Touch loud but live able and just wish it had two handles for easier mobility. Thanks again and you can't go wrong with this generator. PS. Thanks for including a charger for the battery.

I purchased this generator to run my house in-case of a power outage. It runs the 5 ton ac and everything else no problem. I did put a hard start kit on the ac but I dont think it was needed. We have four dogs so if the power goes out in the summer we have no place to take the dogs this gives us a piece of mind. My 7kw was good for the winter we have gas heating. Cant beat the price!!

Bought the gp7500e for a home backup. This machine is more than I could have ever asked for. So far, I have found nothing that I could talk bad about. I believe in great value in whatever I purchase, and this machine is just that.. Thanks Generac for a great product..
