[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this generac generator to review, wow is all I can say, my husband put it together and it's a beauty , tryed it out works like it should and more love the look of it, will definitely be using this product, love it, go buy one!!

The first, "just out of the box" test run was at once a success and a failure. The success: It started (took a few pulls but that's no surprise with the carb and fuel lines empty) and ran smoothly (it's quieter than I expected - a bonus). The "fail" part: BOTH vibration mounts on the unit's left side ("left" relative to the end where the recoil starter, air cleaner, and choke lever are located) BROKE (rubber and metal separated) while I was attempting to start it (and no, I didn't use excessive force pulling the starter rope). I'll be contacting Customer Service about getting replacements.

I bought this GP8000E to replace an older other brand with lesser capacity. It starts instantly and performs wonderfully but on day two I moved it on my trailer and after it had experienced a few bumps on the road I discovered that the fragile welds on the axle brackets had broken and bent on both sides. To properly weld them the unit had to be laid on each side resulting in oil spill etc. It was disappointing to see a unit with so much quality in other areas to fail on something so simple.

With the ever increasing unpredictability of the weather, I found it necessary to have a generator on hand to ensure comfort and the ability to cook and keep perishable products from spoil. To relax in the relative comfort and glow of my home while I look down the street and see darkness reinforces my belief that purchasing this generac generator was a great idea.

Just purchased this GP7500E. Very easy set up. Started right up within a second. Love the electric start. Got a great price for a generator of this size and quality. Everything required was in the box (except the gas). The 9375 starting watts will come in handy on the day that I need it to run my household wellpump, freezers,fridges and still have power to run some lights and cooking appliances. As an electrician I have hooked up large commercial Generac generators in the past and was always very impressed with the Quality, and this smaller unit seams to live up to my expectations

After much research I waited a little too long to purchase this generator as we had a power outage at 9:30 pm but at 11 pm I had the house up and running the store was 20 minutes away.The unit did every thing I expected and more.My family was very relieved as I had every light in the house on 2 freezers ,fridge and sump pump I had already set the house up for generator use so after assembling generator it was plug in and go.The outage lasted 6 hrs then 2 days later power was out again for 4 hrs did not miss a beat I hope I do not need it again but if I do the security is worth the price alone.

I needed a new generator & the price was great - haven't had the need (YET) but, I'm prepared! The (ONLY ISSUE) I have is the manual & bolt/washer locations - had to strain to see where the handle bolts live - it “REALLY” needs to be larger & clearer truly not user friendly - for the dotted positioning “ALMOST” need a microscope to see which of the 4 given locations they reside in. A tad nervous about the CO sensor (for stupid people) it's more common sense to locate it where it can breathe - I built a “house” for it where when started a cheap box fan pulls fresh air across the unit & protects it from the elements & I feel only a stray mouse “might” be @ risk - truly hope that (California - left coast sensor) doesn't cause me any issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really happy to finally have a generator. This takes a little worry away knowing we are protected if an emergency arises and we find ourselves without power. I have several friends and family members who have generac generators so I knew this would be a reliable, quality product. The unit is pretty much ready to go out of the box. Easily assembly and you're up and running. It is a nice size compact unit and fairly lightweight. It has a handle for easy maneuvering. It's pretty straightforward and easy to get started. Theres also a picture chart on the unit itself listing the steps to start the unit. I was impressed with how quiet the unit actually is. I thought it was going to be this loud hunk of machine and its totally not. This generator will be great as a backup if the power ever goes out. I'm always worried about losing all our food in the fridge and deep freezer. I am impressed with the look of this generator also. Everything is labeled clearly and easy to understand. Highly recommend this product to anyone who may find themselves without power. It's always good to have on hand because you never know when something might happen.

This is a good unit for the money as it ran well with no hiccups. The only issue of significance was the 5-gallon tank, so we had to run the unit in intervals while we searched for gas. But this unit has good features with a clear fuel gauge, the electric start with pull-cord back-up, the included battery, charger & the wheels (some co.'s sell units with wheels as an option) and a run-time meter. Minor inconveniences included the needed oil change after a short run and having to play with the choke on start-up.

We got tired of being hot and sitting in the dark. Unpackaged unit and filled with supplied oil and added fuel. Came with choke in the on position and started first pull. Runs lights, fans, tv, and cell chargers easliy. Not super quiet but not loud for what it is. Very happy so far!!
