I bought this GP7500E to replace an old Coleman generator I had, and I'm very impressed. It's quiet, it assembled easily (install the wheels, install the handle, hook up the battery, add oil, add gas, and done!), and it powers up my house easily. Here in Nova Scotia power outages have become so frequent that a generator is necessary. The only thing it won't run is my electrical baseboard heating, but no generator even approaching this wattage or price range will do that.

This is an excellent generator for the price. Starting with the person that took my order, he answered every question I had and it took no time at all to get it ordered with a delivery date that was met! Assembly was a snap. It took no time at all! I put 4x4's under the frame then installed the axle brackets and the axle. The tires were just a bit wider than the pallet, so once the tires were installed, all I did was roll the generator off the pallet! It started up easily and all plugs put out the voltage that was labeled! I took it to my deer camp and ran the cabin without a hitch! It is a slight bit noisy, but if I have a choice of noise or no electricity, I will take the noise any time!! I have not run my house with it yet, but that is coming up soon. Living on the gulf coast, you never know when a hurricane will come in on you and I will be prepared!! At this point, I give this generator an A++ rating! Once I run the house on it, I will give an update!

I have had this unit for three years now and fortunately have not needed it......yet. I do maintain it regularly and it seems to run well One question......is there a specific position that the start switch should be in when the generator is stored and the battery is charging (supposedly)..? The push start will not work any time that I try to start it....I always have to resort to the pull start. This will be hard for my wife if I am at work when we lose power.....one of the reasons I chose this unit. I store it with the battery charger plugged in as recommended but the battery never has enough to start the unit. Any help would be appreciated.

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.

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.

After delivery, the Generac 7000 was easy to prepare for operation, easy to start ( electric start). Our house has transfer switches ( 6) and with our electrician we tested the system and the 7000 to make sure all was running in order. Everything was perfect the first time. I recommend having an electrician go over everything, especially with the built-in transfer switches. The peace of mind living here in Maine, that we can have heat, refrigeration, lights and some comforts is reassuring, especially if the power goes out. This will probably lead to the purchase and installation of a stand-by unit down the road. Thanks for building a safe, easy-to-operate, sensible power source in case of outages which can happen especially here in Maine. I like my comfort and this is real, real PEACE OF MIND.

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

Excellent quality and great reputation is what led me to buy this generator. I am thankful I have not had to use it, however it provides a great piece of mind knowing its there if need be. One piece of advice I will give anyone purchasing a generator, secure your garage. My first generator was stole within the first two week of purchase. Since then we had anchors installed in the cement and have it chained down. We also have a place secured by the house if we ever need to use it that we can secure it to.

We bought our first Generac 7000kw in 2004 it has ran our 55' trailer in the middle of the bush for 7yrs. then built our OFF GRID home powering all our power tools needed for the build, then for the last 3 yrs used as a back up to our Off grid solar system. Still going strong only serviced once to clean it up with a tune up. Purchased New one GP7500E to carry us forward for another 10 yrs and use the older one as our back up. Quiet, easy to use, I will always buy a Generac.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned two Generac generators in the past (traded up) and always been pleased with their performance. Lately it's been harder to pull a generator for me, so when I found one with a push start I jumped at the chance. You're going to need some help with this as it is quite heavy but assembly was easy and after that I could pull it on my own. We typically run our sump pump and freezers when the power goes out and run a cord upstairs to plug in the fridge and charge our phones/electronics. I tested it out and it had no problem with that load. I'd compare the sound to that of a lawn mower, loud, but if you're inside it's not going to bother you. The start is a breeze, I can't believe all the pulling I used to do. I feel a lot better knowing that if the power does go out for an extended period of time, especially with winter coming up, we'll have everything we need to keep us safe and warm.
