The area in which I live is always losing power. I was looking for a small generator to just run the essentials, like furnace, air conditioner, refrigerator. But this portable generator runs the whole darn house! Of course, I don't have a very big house, but this is GREAT! And so easy to start! I'm very happy!

I opted to buy a portable home back up generator opposed to a built in because of the versatility. It will do the job of a built in but I have the option to use it for other things as well as loaning to someone else if I haven't lost power in the event of a hurricane or other natural disasters. Upon delivery I was impressed with the ease of set up and overall performance of the generator. I expected it to be very loud but was actually surprised that it was not unbearable. Overall very happy with the purchase and not as anxious with the upcoming hurricane season starting.

Purchased the GP7500E (special sale price) at Canadian Tire. Assembled and started right up on first try. Appears to be a good quality unit, great value for the price. Just wish it came with a float charger instead of the supplied batter charger so it could be left plugged in at all times.

Had to replace the generator I left behind in my previous home after 14 years of use. It was a Generac. I looked at several other brands, but settled on the Generac because of the reliability, wattage and value. Received it yesterday, assembled the wheels, feet and battery, and it started on the first try. Thanks.Tim31

I had been looking at a generator for awhile and contemplated many different brands. For the price, wattage and most importantly, name brand quality, I found that Generac was the way to go. Spend the money and get the electric start. Save yourself the aggravation at using a pull start. Just push a button and rock n' roll. Upon first unboxing it, everything was zip tied together very neatly and it was well packaged. It wasn't so overdone that you spend hours cutting away zip ties like you do with your kids toys on Christmas morning. Cut a few of the zip ties and you are ready to connect the batter cables. The generator was SUPER easy to get set up. If you can use a wrench or socket set, then you are good to go. You don't have to be super handy at all to do it. The directions were very simple and easy to follow. A matter of securing the wheels to the frame with the axle and washers (Provided) and also securing the pulling handle to the frame. Other than connecting these bolts and two very small bolts for the batter connection, it was a snap and took only minutes to unbox and be fully ready to use. The generator comes with an initial package of oil and it's a matter of opening up the oil valve and pouring it in. Heck, I can do that. This unit is very heavy. So if you plan on wheeling it around your house, or you have an outlet on a further away side of your house, just remember that you may be trudging it through feet of snow, like I do in Maine. So just have a plan in place to have it put somewhere for awhile or the ability to wheel it around with ease. Overall, the generator just looks cool. The black and orange color is cool looking. Obviously not a requirement and individual tastes vary, but it looks like a well built machine and the colors pop. The Generac name is why I went with this one. From past experience of buying cheaper name "knockoffs" to save a few bucks, I have always had it come back to bite me. It's true that you get what you pay for. This unit was priced the same as the knockoffs, too... so why not go for quality, even if you pay just a tad more. But I was very pleased with the price point. LAST, and my ONLY complaint was that I thought the unit came with the L14-30R cord. It DOES NOT. So, if you plan on hooking it up to a 30amp power source, with the 4-prong outlet you will have to purchase the cord separate. Other than that, I am 100% please with the purchase and think you will be too. It powers everything in my house that I need.

I live in Puerto Rico, and since Hurricane María destroyed our power grid, almost 5 years later we are still having constant island-wide blackouts. The most recent in April, 2022, all the generating power plants on the island shut down due to a fire in a switch yard. Four days later, half the island is still without power, including us. I've used it once before during a brief blackout and it did well. Today it looks like we're going to be without power for at least another 24 hours (I had power restored two days ago but today it went out again). I plugged it in to the house with a manual transfer switch. Right now it's nightfall, and I am running two refrigerators, kitchen and living room lights, all ceiling fans running, and not a hiccup from the set. The electrician that installed the transfer switch says that if power doesn't come back later, I could turn off the refrigerators and turn on one bedroom inverter mini-split air conditioner. Thoroughly satisfied with this product. Thank you Generac. Now buying a whole house automatic propane or diesel set and/or a Powerwall with Generac seems like a wise investment. Until then, this GP6500 will do just fine.

Hi my name is mark I lost lights for 8 days 3 years ago so I bought a7500e I love it runs my whole house easy to install works the best got heat tv water I got a well so it even runs the pump this thing starts every time pull or elc I love it my friend next door runs a cord to his house helps with gas so easy to run would no be with out it LOVE IT never lose good again let it snow & blow I am covered lol thanks big mark ct

I use my generator to power my house when the electricity goes out. It is sized just right for what I need. It is easy to start and set up. With the fold down handle attached it makes it very easy to maneuver the unit wherever you need it or to store it away. I have researched and used a lot of other generators and this is the best so far. I am very happy with this unit and I am sure it will bring me years of service.

Unit now showing 25 hrs. Bought after storm took out the electrical service drop. Put together and had up and running in less than an hour. Operation is straight forward and pretty much plug and play so to speak. Only thing I noticed was the powder coating on the frame seemed very thin in places. could have been a little thicker. This is not a game changer just something I noticed. When you add the oil the first time try to have a long neck funnel, it's a whole lot easier to hit the opening to add the oil. Look forward to many years usage from this unit.

Purchased on the day hurricane Sandy arrived. I ran it for 12 straight days without a problem. I only turned it off to change the oil 3 times. Very well made and dependable. A bit noisy but most gas generators are. Only knock is that the gas gauge stopped working after 2 days.
