Generac Stood Out against the others

After going few days without power we decided to start shopping for a generator. I looked at many different types, makes and models. Generac stood out in the reviews I read in terms of function and reliability. I found the information available on the Generac website helpful in determining what type and size generator to purchase. Should I need service there are many authorized service representatives in my area. This too has been a discriminator in choosing Generac over some of the other brands. Assembly instructions were clear and the quick start instructions are an excellent idea. It took no time at all to assemble and start the generator. I choose to buy a portable rather than stand-by so that I can have power to do remote construction projects. I'm happy with my choice so far. I'll follow up later after I've had an opportunity to exercise the unit.

Haven't used it yet but looking forward to it

Haven't used it yet but looking forward to it. We live in a hurricane prone area and have dealt with power outages many times over the past 15 years. Most have been for 3 days or more. Although I am not looking forward to the next hurricane, when it does hit I know I will be ready

Very powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankful for my generator from Generac. Now we will always have lights and other things when power goes out, Which is nice where we live in the country and they do not get our power on quickly. I really like it has a CO detector and will cut itself off if any is detected. Now my food will not ruin if power is off. This has a long run time, large gas tank and very powerful. Was very easy to setup. My husband even uses this on our property to power his tools when needed. This will also be great to have for camping. Many uses and also shows you hours used so you know when to perform routine maintenance. Top of the line generator in our opinion.

Just the right size for household needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this 3600 watt generator about a week ago and I am so glad I got it. I had been looking into getting one since Irma came through and we lost power for a week. Now I have one big enough to run my chest freezer, refrigerator, a lamp and a fan. The box came damaged, but the product was in tact and had all the bolts required to put the handle and wheels on.

Awsome product!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is absolutely amazing! The quality is awsome and holds up great. The best thing I love about this generator is that it automatically monitors the co levels and shuts it down if it's too high. I have small children so this makes me feel so much better knowing that it's safe. Another thing that's great is it comes with the cord that you need for it. A lot of generators you have to buy that separate. Overall this is a really good generator to have. I recieved this as a sample and this is 100% my own opinion!

Great Generator

Lost power and needed a portable generator immediately. because the sump pump failed and the water was rising. I called several sellers and found a Generac. Since I know the Generac is the No.1 manufacturer of portable generator, I purchased a unit. Put it together, filled it up with oil and gasoline. Started it up and unit did its job. Hurray, Generac saved the day!!!

What is the quality of the electricity produced

It works well for power tools. Used it a few times and liked it. My question is if I use it for a power outage and plug my electronically controlled furnace and refrigerator into the generator will this hurt the electronic in my refrigerator and furnace?

Great generator

This is my first generator, but we moved to a rural area where the power goes out regularly so we needed an backup generator. I was thrilled to be able to find a portable generator this size, because we can't afford a standby generator. I was so impressed with this generator when it arrived. It was so easy to set up and came with an extra air filter, oil filter, and so on. Very nice tough. I feel much better know we'll have heat and water if we lose power this winter!

It is great!

Just bought this generator after much research on internet, different hardware stores, and electricians. The price is right and our local hardware took the time to gas it up, put in oil and give a demonstration in use. The noise level was certainly acceptable and less than expected after seeing some negative reviews elsewhere on the noise. The ease of portability, electric start as well as pull, and having not to buy wheel kit are extras. The unit started at first flipping of switch. Recommend it highly.
