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!

Up & Running in Minutes

I bought this generator after researching online. Brand name carries a lot of weight in the generator field so I decided on a Generac and was not disappointed. Had the generator out of the box, set up, break in oil added and running in less than 30 minutes. One week after I brought it home we had the seasons first snowfall and the electricity went out. Hadn't had time to get the electrician to do the hookup to my service panel yet so I ran a drop cord in from outside and plugged in the TV. Watched television until the lights came back on in about an hour. Worked flawlessly and can't wait to see how it works running through the service panel. I would definitely recommend this product.

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.

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!!!

Easy to maneuver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great. Took it on our latest camping trip it ran our site and our neighbors site with power to boot. Quieter than I expected! I liked the idea of never flat wheels but they seemed a little bent. Handy fold up handle that was well balanced and easy to maneuver was a bonus.

Sandy and Generac - a good combination

Just made it through hurricane Sandy's blackout. This was the generators first extended test. Passed with flying colors. This is the 6500 Watt model, manual start. Started on the second pull (usually does). I Powered, using the 30amp outlet - 1 Refrig, 2 gas forced hot air heating units, 1 gas powered water heater, 2 bathrooms, kitchen lights, dinette lights family room outlets (charged a lot of cell phones), and used applicances through those outlets (toaster over, coffee maker, washer/dryer), and of course a radio, hall lights and a bedroom. Using the 20amp four outlets, powered three more refrig, including a couple from my neighbors house, and some additional lights. The generator took forever to use the gasoline in the tank. No lights flickered, appliances functioned proprely. At times I forgot I was on generator. Thank You Generac.

Excellent!

Ran this generator for almost 5 months everyday after Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Was the only thing that kept the family from going insane. Absolutely trustworthy and it never skipped a beat. The electric switch stopped working but with the manual start we never went a day without power. Heard a lot of people complain about their generators but we never had a problem.

Got it for hurricanes... doesn't work

Bought generator 2 years ago which worked on startup. I drained the gas tank and confidently awaited a time for its use. I am in NC with Hurricane Florence and brought out the generator. After filling the gas tank, checking the oil, charging the battery..... nothing. Will not crank by hand or battery. What a disappointment when it is needed most.

Finally bought a Generator and It is a Generac

Wife and I have been talking about a Generator for 10 yrs. WE lost power at 3 am. This yr we switched to a Pellet stove and she has a Cpap Machine to sleep with. Went to the Lowes in Ludington Mich and got the last Generac that they had. The unit was awesome ran the pump, frig, pellet stove Cpap. In the spring I am getting the manual bypass switch/breaker/cable and back feed the House.

this unit has everything we are looking for.

I have had Generacs in two other locations which served us well when we experienced power losses. Because we were very rural they were literally life lines and each of them sold with the sale of the respective properties. Since we are now in FL and subject to unexpected weather conditions, the extreme heat and humidity are conditions we wish to be ready for. Obviously buying another Generac gives testimony to our satisfaction with the product.
