4 out of 5 stars review

Quality out of the box, one pull start, only used 30 minutes as first start up trial.

Unit packaging was quality, instructions and assembly of wheels to frame and feet as well as handle was simple. Manual was easy to read, follow for warnings and pre-start up instructions. Unit started on first pull, expected maybe two just to get gas through system. Ran for about half hour to give it a bit of a break-in. Plugged in a few lights and other items to give each circuit a trial. No problems, ran and powered as expected. Not sure what other review stated about eco sense issue, I had no issue as I used the product outside and away from building approx. 4 feet. No issues on my initial trial run and expect this product to do the same after the next big storm hits our area.

Easy to set up and use

Bought this as an emergency purchase. Had borrowed a no name generator for camping to have it quit working. Went to Menards in Princeton Indiana at closing time and found this model. Had been wanting of my own for various reasons over the years and have always put it off because of so many choices out there. Being forced to make a split decision in bio this one was a blessing in disguise. Could not be happier with this generator.

Well made, start on the first crank of the electric starter.

I live on the east coast of Florida so need a good home backup generator when the power goes out. Power was out for two weeks after the last big hurricane. The GP7500E is an upgrade from the 5500 Watt generator that ran almost constantly during the two weeks power was out. I wanted to ensure the same performance so Generac was my choice.

Easy out of the box assembly.

Easy out of the box assembly. Took about 20 minutes to assemble. Everything you need in the box except the gas. Filled with oil, charged the battery and started right up. Noise level is less than I had expected....that's a good thing. Looking forward to using the unit for home backup.

Very easy to setup and use.

Everything with this product met my expectations and functions were easy to use. However the only thing I have to complain about was the products packaging was perfect but the product was damaged inside the box. The fuel line nipple was broken at the back of the control valve and was leaking fuel. The problem was the fuel line was cut too short and pulling on plastic nipple.

Fantastic product that goes above and beyond my original needs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For camping trips and times when my neighborhood experience power outages, this generator is able to power my table saw, chop saw, circular saw, and keep my Fridge running without any struggles. My family took it camping this past weekend and we were all pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was! It is much lighter than my previous generator as well. With two small children and a small wife I needed a device I could easily lift into the back of my truck myself and this one fit that ask and all of my needs and beyond!

excelent portable generator.

Purchased this generator after Hurricane Michael. I used it to run refrigeration, medical equipment and my well. It had absolutely no problems carrying the load. It is a quiet generator and ran for about 14 hours on a tank of gas. I highly recommend this generator.

7500E Portable Generator

Excellent quality and great reputation is what led me to buy this generator. I am thankful I have not had to use it, however it provides a great piece of mind knowing its there if need be. One piece of advice I will give anyone purchasing a generator, secure your garage. My first generator was stole within the first two week of purchase. Since then we had anchors installed in the cement and have it chained down. We also have a place secured by the house if we ever need to use it that we can secure it to.

Emergency use

My generator is assembled and ready to run. I have not fueled it as of yet. But crankcase is full and I will be fueling it when needed. I do not like storing power equipment with gas. I keep it in a dry shed under look and key. Back in Ohio we installed a 22KW in our home; it was reliable And ran flawlessly. I purchased this GP6500 as protection from power loss. Based on previous experiences with GENERAC. looking for many years of service. Truly Rick D.

More Power!

This unit has 120 Volt outlets as well as 1-30 Amp 120/240 Volt twist lock outlet. With the 30 Amp outlet you can run More Power! The electric start and pull start are fantastic. The best of both worlds. Just follow the recommendations from the owners manual and carefully select your electric loads and anyone can have emergency power safely. More Power!
