Great product

My ancient but functional Coleman died 2 days into Florence last fall. I lucked out finding my 6500. I knew nothing of the brand, and paid what I thought was too much. When I hooked it up, however... BOOM, great product and a lit house and fans. Thanks!

Great Generator

I highly recommend this generator to everyone. My GP7500E was easy to set up and get started right away. It will be nice when the power goes out here in south Arkansas again and I can just start up my generator and not miss a beat. This generator will do all we need to do. Thanks Generac.

Best generator I've ever owned!!

Having had 2 other generators over the last 20 years, this one out-performs all the others. It starts so easy, I really do not need the electric start feature. It has plenty of power to operate the house. We seem to have frequent power losses, so having a back-up is a way of life.

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this generator free as a trial product and honestly wasn't expecting much out of it since it was free. I was very wrong! This is by far one of the best generators I've ever used!! The power is beyond belief. It has several plug ins and could potentially power everything I would need in a power outage. I wouldn't hesitate to take it camping, use it in a garage, the possibilities are endless. I cannot say enough good things about it!

Indestructible!!!

I've only got about 10 or 12 hours on my 6500 but I am amazed at how it performs after surviving two floods in my garage!!! Both times the water got high enough to fill the muffler and reached the electrical outlets. Both times I drained the water out, checked the carburetor and changed the oil to be safe. It fired up, steamed out the remaining bit of water in the muffler and ran as though nothing had happened. I was sure I was going to have to spend a lot of money to get it up and running again. I'm very impressed with my purchase. I'm staying with these guys.

Great product right out of the box!

I recently purchased two GP8000E CO2 sensing Generac, one for my house and one for my Mom. Easy to put together, start, and store! They start right up and are surprisingly fuel efficient. My Mom is 71 and has no trouble starting and operating the generator! We have used it several times since June and have been very pleased!

Good Purchase

Good Value and easy setup , only took about 15 minutes to setup and get it running , seems as the battery was not charged so had to use pull start and it fired up on first pull. I just did a quick test to make sure it would supply power and all seems fine. good piece of mind to have an alternate source of power when needed . Mark

99% Happy

This generator was easy to assemble and fired-up immediately. Quieter than I expected based on neighbors' units and some of the chatter online. Easy to move the generator around. The 1% unhappiness is based on the difficulty to add the oil. The generator is designed to receive oil at an almost 90-degree angle, so you need to spend a crazy amount of time carefully adding little amounts at a time or go buy a funnel with a flexible line. Also, the oil supplied does not indicate the type/weight of the oil and neither does the generator's manual. You can find it online at generac.com FAQ section. It's easy to see why it's an FAQ.
