Good Product

I bought this to replace an ancient portable generator that had become unrepairable. Only problem with the new one is that there was a shard of bare metal on the black frame work that gashed my finger, requiring three stitches to stop the bleeding. This should have been caught at final inspection before packing.

Awesome generator

Bought this for backup when the power is out. Electrician installed an interlock switch so as not to backfeed power to the grid. Now i have what i need when the power is out !! Love the electric start. Also like that the choke is integrated into the start switch. Mine was a display model and was missing the cord for charging the battery. Called customer service and they promptly sent one via mail at no charge. I have owned other brands and generac is by far the best.

The cadillac of generators!

Bought this generator after Hurricane Sandy after wishing we had had one prior to the storm. We waited for its delivery and when it arrived and I cut open the box, a smile came to my face. The generator not only runs great but looks great too. The fuel gauge, which many generators don't have, is a very handy thing to have. Generac is great in providing support to its customers and makes things easy to understand with their video presentations. I would highly recommend this one to everyone!

Very good quality and simple to use

Bought during a power outage and brought power back to my house very quickly. Assembly is simple and straightforward. Generator has started first pull and still starts very well with the included electric start. pushes a lot of power so nominal rating is not overrated. a bit noisy but I was amazed to see how little gas it used. Not the cheapest, but quality is top.

Very quiet and good on gas

I bought this generator to keep our fridges going during a 4 day power outage but I was able to do more. It also produced enough power to also run with the fridges a few lights, or my water pump or my sump pump. It's also light enough that one person can handle it quite easily. It starts very easily so practically anybody could start it. Great generator for the price.

Piece of mind

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.

Can't depend on OGE anymore….

OGE is having major issues of late on our grid. Past Sunday the weather got to -4 …. windchill -15. My electric went off for over 5 hrs and I ended up replacing the pipes in the well house due to everything freezing up. I researched and decided to purchase this Generac 7500. Very glad I did. We've another major storm brewing this upcoming weekend and I wanted to be ready. I can't depend on OGE anymore and having an alternative power back up gives me the feeling of control and power over my situation. Instead of being a victim of OGE.

Very satisfied! Not worried about the storms now.

I am very impressed with my model of Generac. I purchased this model after seeing my neighbors in use and I was impressed. Used for home backup and miscellaneous jobs. The electric start makes simple for my family to get running with no assistance if I am away from home. Very easy to set up and use. Good design for storage.

Simple set up and easy operation.

We purchased this unit as a home back up power source to insure our furnace and well pump were operational during winter storms. I found this unit to be an easy set up for that purpose, and a whole lot more. Although the weather has been cooperative this winter so far, I've found the portability of this unit to be valuable in powering all sorts of tools and lights in my newly built pole building. I recommend this unit to anyone needing a standby power source. It's great!

Great value for the money invested

The generator came with oil and clear instructions for assembly and operation. It starts very easily and has operated dependably each time I needed it. I had to call customer service to register my warranty and the person I spoke with was very friendly, spoke clear english and took care of everything I needed. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and would strongly recommend this product.
