My house caught fire and was unlivable. But we had 2 freezers with LOTS of food in them. I bought this model generator, at a reasonable price, to keep my freezers running until I could get my house livable again. It’s the perfect size and wattage for me, affordable and it runs for ever on a tank of gas. Thank you Generac!!

One reason I purchased this generator was for the ease of starting it with the electric starter when the power goes out. The first week I had it, it started right up, but once I removed the trickle charger that came with it for a couple days it wouldn't start. I figured it had a bad battery or a short in the system, so I took it to a Generac authorized repair shop to have it checked out and they said the battery was bad and replaced it. Sad to say the new battery was also dead after sitting a couple of days. I did some research on the internet and discovered that this Generac Model had issues of shorting out and causing the battery to drain and die. I installed an on/off toggle switch to isolate the battery when not in use and that fixed the shorting out issue. One other issue that I've ran into, is that this CO sensor is almost too sensitive, if the wind blows the exhaust back towards the generators CO sensor it will shut down unexpectedly, so I have to position the exhaust pipe towards the same direction as the wind is blowing. Now that I know what it takes to get this generator started and keep it going it's actually a really good generator and it performs well, it's just not user friendly.

I purchased the GP7500E to replace a smaller 3250 generator to provide backup power for my house. Last December we had a power outage in the middle of a winter storm, the smaller generator worked for a few items, but I wanted to power more circuits in the house. I installed a transfer switch so I can power the furnace, refrigerator, TV, computer and several lights in the house I assembled the generator, added oil, gas and connected the battery. It fired up right away! I definitely like the battery start! I did a test run on the house and everything powered up as expected, now to wait for the next power outage.

This is by far the best Generator I have ever owned and operated and I have owned a total of 8 different ones. It powered my home during a recent black out effortlessly for days. It sips fuel and tell you how long it will run, etc. Always a very quick starter and is instantly ready to provide the necessary power. I would buy another one without and hesitation due it's quiet, efficent operation.

I bought it for emergency power for when our tree lined street takes out the power lines. I've only run it for a few minutes so far, to test the breaker box connection. It ran the well pump, furnace, and a few lights without issue. There will be enough power in reserve to keep us comfortable if we have another snow disaster this winter.

This generator is very portable and easy to run.Love the electric start.It is a life saver since I live in north country.Very easy to put in system and my wife finds it easy to run.This will run all my house and I have a lot of eletrical appliaces.The company that put it in is very good and went right through it with us.

A derecho came through our city on August 10, 2020. Severely damaging the power grid to the city. I purchased a RS8000E the following day. I needed the unit to run a refrigerator and freezer, but more importantly my mothers oxygen generator. We were without power for eight days. The only issue I had was with the user manual no specifying that flipping the 30 amp circuit breaker need to be turned on to activate the two 120V outlets. I figured it out and had no issues with the generator. The generator definitely paid for itself. I would recommended this unit to anyone.

The generator is easy to use and to move around. The portability makes it useful in a number of different situations. The generator is a bit noisier than I would like, however, the convenience and ease of use out weighs this distraction. Should we experience another hurricane, we will be quite comfortable and safe. We plan to have this wired into our system so that our whole house will have power in the event of an extended outage.

I purchased this generator after purchasing and returning 3 Westinghouse generators. 2 generator was defective and the other 1 would not power what I needed. Purchased the generac and am very satisfied with its performance. No issues with this generator. Provides all the power I need for my camping needs.

This generator works great and I got it for a great price on sale. I havn't used it much, but it starts right away and seems to have a lot of power. The only complaint I have is that getting the cotter pins in for the wheels is a bit hard how they have them positioned. Other than that the generator seems to be great so far.
