[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this generator! Its not super loud and it will come in handy around the house and especially during power outages.Its easy to move where I need it to be with the handle and wheels and it looks nice!

This unit has 120 Volt outlets as well as 1-30 Amp 120/240 Volt twist lock outlet. With the 30 Amp outlet you can run More Power! The electric start and pull start are fantastic. The best of both worlds. Just follow the recommendations from the owners manual and carefully select your electric loads and anyone can have emergency power safely. More Power!

Putting the machine together in a cold garage was a real "thrill". None of your vendors offered this service. The cotter key for the wheels is a real challenge. There has to be a better, easier way to do this little task. Many naughty words were said. For accessories, why not casters for the front of the machine?? Something designed by you, designed to fit properly, would be a nice feature. Try lifting this thing to pull it out of a garage when you are 70, with a bad back. Everything works as it should, and the directions are easy to follow, and it started the first time.

I recently purchased this generator after using one(GP5000) that was given to me on loan by my employer, during the freak winter noreaster in October. It ran almost my whole house(1200 sqft). After the storm I went to my local Generac Dealer and purchased the GP7500E. It is easy to set up and my family can also set it up if I am not home. I would recommend having an electrician install a transfer switch and proper grounding for the unit. Great machine I use it also whenn I'm at the race track to power my trailer.

After several power outages (ice, wind storms, etc.), I bought this generator after the recommendation of an electrician friend. He has one for his home, and he definitely made a great recommendation. While I was out of town one evening, all the power went out in the neighborhood. My 16-year old daughter was able to pull the generator out of the garage, run extension cords, and connect the refrigerator and two freezers. She had help from a friend, only because she had never used it before. We didn't lose any frozen or refrigerated items. Highly recommend this generator for home use!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] due in no small part to recent events on the eastern seaboard, we felt it necessary to purchase a portable generator given to volatile weather here. we decided to go with the best name in the business: Generac. we were certainly not disappointed. the 8000 Watt Standing and 10k Startup wattage were plenty for our home. that and the Package coming with a Battery and an electric startup were all key features that pushed us towards this brand. we did not have much knowledge in Generators and even less in hooking them up. I love the 25 foot chord it came with and also the ease at which it is transportable via the super heavy duty tires. we went with a professional to hook everything up which cost about 200 Dollars. though I could have probably done it, as the directions were super easy and everything was marked and easily understood, we felt having someone with experience to install it was wise. overall we are very happy with this new model and even happier with the performance. it is not loud (like a Starship taking off) as the exhaust is pretty well muffled. love that feature. we recommend this to anyone with potential power issues.

I spent the extra couple of bucks to get the electric start model for my wife. I'm in law enforcement and if I'm ever stuck at work during an emergency, I want it to be easy for her to set up and get things going. Right out of the box, set up was easy. Followed the directions and fired it up with the electric start. I let it run for a bit and it didn't seem any louder than any other generator that I've been around. Very happy with it.

Overall I really like this unit. The electric start is great because I have my eldery parents & my sister living w/me and this makes this unit simple to operate. As for the generator runs wonderful & is about as loud as any other portable unit. My 2 complaints would be that the wheels are really cheap & the fit & finish on my unit were not the best in my opion . Also I have a generac cord and a 30 amp generac receptacle gen box as well which I love. Overall 4.8 stars!

This product is what we were looking for our home and farm use. It is well built, easy for me to start and move around. The longer run time is a plus since we live in the country. We recommend this model. We heat with wood in the winter and the boiler needs electric to run the pump, this generator guarantees that our pump runs and the water lines don't freeze because the water doesn't circulate.

I purchased this generator new approximately 5 years ago. I left an initial impression review at that time. Other than monthly test runs, I have not had to use it. Last night it was finally used to provide power for the entire house. It worked flawlessly. It was 28 degF. When I started the generator and it ran continuously for 16 hours with no shutdown. Temps got to a low of 6 degF. It’s one thing to lose power in the summer. Losing power when it is in the single digits is an altogether different scenario. Our house has baseboard electric heat that had to work in some rooms not heated by the woodstove. In conclusion, and as a follow up,after five years it did exactly what is what purchased for.
