This is a great machine. I purchased it to run my whole house in the event I need it. It is portable and large and heavy. I bought a small trailer to mount the generator onto for easily moving around, hook it to my truck or ATV. Trailer has room for the big power cord and other extension cords. I purchase a bigger interstate battery to start it. I also use the battery for other things.

There are two minor suggestions to improve the handling of the generator. One: The handle is too high for a person of average height. In order to move the generator I have to bend my arms. Two: The supports in the rear to balance the generator are made from very thin sheet metal easily bent. Yoram Manor

Lost power and needed a portable generator immediately. because the sump pump failed and the water was rising. I called several sellers and found a Generac. Since I know the Generac is the No.1 manufacturer of portable generator, I purchased a unit. Put it together, filled it up with oil and gasoline. Started it up and unit did its job. Hurray, Generac saved the day!!!

Just bought this generator after much research on internet, different hardware stores, and electricians. The price is right and our local hardware took the time to gas it up, put in oil and give a demonstration in use. The noise level was certainly acceptable and less than expected after seeing some negative reviews elsewhere on the noise. The ease of portability, electric start as well as pull, and having not to buy wheel kit are extras. The unit started at first flipping of switch. Recommend it highly.

Thorough research and customer satisfaction, were the basis for my selection. Review of the product was simplified by the product manual, which was most informative and easy to understand. I will be getting a quote for the home standby system as soon as possible. In Florida, a generator is as necessary as homeowners insurance.

I recently installed a power inlet box to my breaker panel and purchased this generator to to power the house in case of a power outage. I have tested it a couple times now and it works great. Electric start would be nice but its really not needed. This generator is easy to pull start and starts on the 1st pull every time.

Bought the unit for residential back up. Was shipped with all parts included. Thankfully. Set up was with out problem. Have utilized the generator only once for a three hour period. It carried the load without any struggle at all. Pleased so far with the unit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this 3600 watt generator about a week ago and I am so glad I got it. I had been looking into getting one since Irma came through and we lost power for a week. Now I have one big enough to run my chest freezer, refrigerator, a lamp and a fan. The box came damaged, but the product was in tact and had all the bolts required to put the handle and wheels on.

I bought this generator after researching online. Brand name carries a lot of weight in the generator field so I decided on a Generac and was not disappointed. Had the generator out of the box, set up, break in oil added and running in less than 30 minutes. One week after I brought it home we had the seasons first snowfall and the electricity went out. Hadn't had time to get the electrician to do the hookup to my service panel yet so I ran a drop cord in from outside and plugged in the TV. Watched television until the lights came back on in about an hour. Worked flawlessly and can't wait to see how it works running through the service panel. I would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this generator a few times since getting it and I have been extremely happy with the product. No issues or concerns with starting and it provided more than enough power to supply my home during the outage.
