as an electrician and construction engineer I recommend this unit. gp7500e. after an extensive search by retailers and the internet this is the best unit. solid welded steel construction,outdoor protected receptacles,easy to read labeling,and directions. shipped on heavy duty pallet and boxing.controls easy to use,gas on off, start stop switch,hour meter,choke,filter access,circuit breakers resets,battery solidly bolted in place. starts every time.

I live in the Northeast corridor and have decided this wacky weather is no fun w/o electricity. Purchased the GP6500E w/ manual transfer kit. Assembly was easy. Started right up w/ the electric ignition. Contracted a local electrician to install the transfer box. Straight forward and no surprises, other than needing a 60 amp main breaker. Electrician commented on the box and said the set-up was pretty slick. Prepared and waiting for Mother Natures next haymaker.

Been through many hurricanes and never needed a generator until hurricane Florence. Bought the generac two days before the storm hit. Lost power the night of the storm. Started the generator on the first pull the next morning and it ran 4 days straight without any issues. Great product. Thanks Generac!

I have owned Generac generators since 1999. Have had great service and reliability. I live in Florida and we deal with storms regularly. With my wife retired and a disabled grandson at home, I need a unit that will power the whole house. If I have to go to work during storm recovery, my wife only has to worry about putting gas in the generator to have comfort. It starts with a push of a button! This new 15000 watt machine arrived and works perfectly. I highly recommend Generac to everyone I know. This new unit is heavy, but the portability and price were great!

Out of the box looks great, easy setup and starts easily 1x per month for testing ( starting) only). Today I needed it most with an ice storm and power outage. Fired up and ran great, but produced no electricity from the outlets. I took it into the service center, but still had a dark cold house. I will update with my service and warranty experience.

This generator fit our needs perfectly. We have a small farm and needed a sizeable unit to power things when power is out with affordability. This unit is large but easy for my wife to move around. It is very easy to operate and quality is excellent.

With all of the weather associated power outages occurring these past years, I decided it was time to purchase a portable generator as a back-up . After looking at what was available, I chose the Generac because of its reputation as a reliable machine and at a price I could afford. Love my purchase and I'm not having any worries about its capabilities and performance. I'm now in ready-mode !! / Bonne achat pour me sécurisé en cas de panne d'électricité !!

The unit was delivered and it took me a few weeks before I set it up. Too bad it doesn't ship with wheel kit already installed, it is a 2 man job for set up. After getting the transfer switch installed, tested the unit on a full load and works great. Easy to crank but had to purchase a charger for the battery after 3 months. It is loud even when placed in idle mode and the metal cover rattles near the muffler. I love it though.

We just got our GP6500 put together today, and found the directions for assembly difficult to interpret. There was a card that showed the parts and pictograms of how to assemble, but they were not clear enough. The manual was. It much help either. We managed to figure it out, having put together many other types of products, but I think that it might be a challenge for others. We haven't even used the product yet, as we have not lost power since purchasing, but wanted to tell the company that their assembly instructions were terrible!

I originally purchased the GP5500 unit, but traded it in for this GP7500E. The electric start is prefect. I set up the unit in no time and I had my wife come down to start it for the first time. She simply pushed the start button and it fired up. It actually runs quieter than other generators in the neighborhood. I would derfinitely recommend this unit to anyone, and I have. You can't beat the features for the price.
