Was waiting to write a review until I really put it to the test. Last week in Texas, we had power outages. i had no light for 3 days at my home and we are a family of 5. this bad boy pulled me thru. would recommend and would buy again.

bought the generator to use for loss of power. because my wife is on medical equipment. Liked the first pull starts the generator. Can't afford to be without power for the medical equipment

I have this generator going on 3 yrs. I live in an HOA community that would not allow in ground or above ground tanks. This was my solution i have used it once and it runs my entire home..( yes that included my A/C) I told a friend about this and he bought one for is home. I highly recommend

I had wanted to have an automatic standby generator; but the installation costs quoted by two different contractors was more than I wished to pay. I decided to replace my existing portable generator with one with electric start so that my wife could start it if we lost power when I was not home. The GP8000E met out needs exactly. I am pleased with the quality of construction and features. Assembly was simple, involving installing the legs and wheels, filling the crankcase with the supplied oil, and filling the gas tank. I didn't need to charge the battery, I just pressed the start button, adjusted the choke, and I was in business.

Shopped around for other makes and always came back to the Generac reviews. Price is good. The company I bought it from Assembled it for me at no extra cost.I put in the oil and gas and started on the first pull. Tried all Receptacles on the generator. All worked. Bought it as a stand by in case we lose power.Good product

I bought this generator to run sewerage ejector pumps at a townhouse complex in case of a power failure. After un crating it I've decided to purchase another unit for my own house for standby use. For the price you can't beat it. Who cares if it never gets used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks ago and was very excited to try it out and see its capabilities. Upon first thorough inspection while guided by the Manual I discovered the clutch lever was missing. The clutch is fully functional; it was just missing the piece to easily start it. All other parts were accounted for and appeared to be in good shape and order. I read through the very easy to understand but thorough instruction manual before starting it. I brought it to my family's winery to test on machinery and coolers and the business as a whole. Upon first attempt to start it the pull cord got stuck and hung outside of the spool it was supposed to return inside of. I removed the housing to fix it and discovered the housing was dented. I smoothed our those dents and replaced the cord and spool and housing as it was. I then started it effectively and started to hook up the winery's necessary appliances and machinery. The entire winery successfully ran off of the generator for an entire hour before we shut it off. I love the functionality of this generator and I'm so satisfied owning it because we get quite a few storms that shut power off at my home. It has carbon monoxide detection systems running automatically that shut the generator off if levels become unsafe or rapidly increase which is literally a life saver! It can run for up to 11 hours on a 50% power load which is plenty for my house! I definitely recommend this Generac Generator to anyone that needs an extr source of power that is reliable! If it hadn't been for the minor mishaps in the beginning I'd have given this A 100% positive review!

This is the perfect generator for running my house when the power goes out. It's really easy to start with the remote start and is quiet compared with other generators I've used. It has a big gas tank so your not constantly filling with gas to keep the lights on. I'm very happy with this generator and with Generac

Purchased for home back up power and use on other property that does not have a utility power source on site. Little work horse that has to this point seen only small overall amount of use but when it has been called on for a power outage or an off site need it work easily and flawlessly. Well worth the cost for the piece of mind.

Product assembled easily. Materials provided to get it going out of the box. Started up right away -- Very happy with the electric start compared to my old generator. Powers my furnace, sump, refigerator, freezer and hot tub when the power goes out. And I think there is power to spare !! Very pleased.
