We tried to face quite a few Hurricane Seasons with A Gasoline Generator and Solar back up. Both were not adequate. Also living in a contry setting, all electric includin Well for water and freeze up happening in the winter we decided it was time to be really ready. The demonstration after hook up enforced our faith that we should not have to worry any more.

I did my research and found Generac to be the best for a full house generator. The price, the features, the size, the look and the company itself were all the reasons I decided to go with Generac. This was a perfect combination for our needs. I liked the product so much, I gathered 7 of my neighbors to purchase one as well. All did their own research and decided that this was the best choice.

For years we have fought through Florida hurricanes and thunderstorms that knockout power for various periods of time. Now, finally, we have our whole-house Generac and couldn't be happier. Just having the peace of mind knowing we will never be without power is worth the investment.

In a rural setting it's common for trees along the road to fall and interrupt power. The GENERAC automatic stand-by generator system can produce enough wattage to supply household power sufficient to maintain refrigeration, lights, air conditioning, TV and internet connection automatically. This is huge when living in, and surviving, power outages that can last weeks during storms with extreme heat and humidity in sub tropical Florida. In many areas, such as mine with acreage, it typically means some level of self reliance, so from a trade standpoint, (as an electrician) I found this unit relatively easy to install and connect to my existing utility power system.

The startup worked perfectly. I feel that the reliability of the brand is sufficient for me to have peace of mind knowing that my 93 yr old mom will not have to be uprooted with a power loss. The WiFi capability will keep me informed unlike my AC unit just sits there.

We are very pleased with this generator. We have not had a need for it yet, but are very confident that it will operate as we were instructed. We are also very pleased with the electrician in his installation. He is very knowledgeable and precise with his work.

If the exercise time could be changed from 5 minutes to 12 minutes and the exercise speed be changed from the slow "Quiet Test" to full RPM I would give a rating to 5-stars. Other than these two significant issues, I find Generac to be a quality and reliable, made in the USA, product. It has NEVER failed me. However, because of the inadequate exercise time I feel I must manually run the generator periodically to "cook off" the condensation moisture from the oil. (NO internal combustion engine likes to sit.) The Wi-Fi reception is poor on the generator unit. My iPhone showed full strength Wi-Fi at the generator site. The generator reported zero Wi-Fi signal strength after accepting the Wi-Fi password. I ended up having the 4G LTE cellular option installed, this gave me the needed connectivity. I get an alert on my iPhone whenever the generator exercises, or is running due to a utility failure. All things considered, I would buy the generator again even with the faults mentioned above. It's hard to believe that the lack of flexibility regarding exercise time was truly an engineering decision, I fear it could be government influenced.

Had been in the process to get a 22KW installed and then Ida hit. Power went out Sunday evening about 5:30 on 8/29. We were running the house on a 17.5 KW portable Generac but getting fuel had become an issue. Our dealer texted me the following Thursday AM about 6:30 and asked if we were still without power. I replied yes and they showed up a couple of hours later to install the unit. 5 hours later we were up and running. Everything went well until Sat AM when the unit shut down. I went to check it and the enclosure was full of oil that had leaked out of somewhere. I refilled it and got it running but it continued loosing oil. We got power back on Sunday evening. Unit now goes into over start shut down. Dealer came and did the first service but the unit still will not start and run. We suspect it has a bad circuit board so am waiting on that so we can get it started to find out where the oil is coming from. We suspect it is a rear seal since oil is coming from the exhaust end. Service tech also noted metal shavings in the oil. Bottom line is we are still without standby protection.

This product is exactly what I wanted and powers my whole house. I had thought about a stand by generator for years and I'm glad I did it. The dealer was knowledgeable, the installers were great and efficient. If I had to do this again I would. I have recommended GENERAC to a friend and he is getting his installed on the 19th of January.

I have been wanting a Generac automatic stand by generator since 2012 when we had a week long power outage during the hottest week of the year! The unit was just installed, and 5 days after installation we had a brief power outage and it started right up and powered the house exactly as it's supposed to. Now I can go on vacation and not worry about my basement flooding, or my beloved koi fish dying from lack of filtration and oxygen in the event of a power outage. I am also an otr truck driver, and now I don't have to worry about my wife and kids being with out power when I am gone.
