Mine is the GP5500 and it can't wait to start

I needed something in a hurry. Looking for a Japanese product. My friend owns two ACE hardware stores. They only carried Generac. Made in America. Shucks! He told me Generac made top quality stuff. I bought mine in a jam. Delighted. This baby longs to start up! Dying to start up! on the first pull. Reliable, noisy as all get out-no problem. I surround it with some boards-it produces tons of power. Runs forever. I will buy another one. You will love yours .

Wow! This generator really cranks out the power!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use a generator to power our tailgate parties at football games. The person who normally brings the generator had his stolen so this is perfect timing! We tested it out and it has plenty of oomph to power the TV, satellite dish, mini air conditioner and various heating and cooking items we need it to. Not only that, but living in a hurricane prone area this will be a lifesaver when the power is invariably knocked out! It's not as noisy as I expected either! Yay!!

Generac 6500

I had previously owned a Generac 6500 and needed another unit due to the worst ice storm to hit in decades. I found a unit 3 hours away. It was worth the trip. I cut open the box, added the oil, handle and wheels. Put gas in the tank, and it fired up on the first pull. Quality I knew I could trust. It was worth the trip to bypass the lesser known brands.

Convient Provider

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received my generator, I immediately assembled it. It was very simple and the instructions provided were clear. After I assembled it I tried to run it. It worked perfectly and provided electricity to several of my appliances. I am older (in my 80's) and live in the woods so losing electric occurs during the winter or summer storms. This generator is easy to move on it's wheels which are attached to the frame. I would recommend this product for its convenience and easy to move as well as the electricity it provides.

Generac GP3600

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comes packaged nicely. All the parts for the handle and wheels comes packaged in a separate box inside the larger box, it even comes with a bottle of oil and funnel. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. It took about 45 minutes to attach the wheels and handle and fill with oil and gas. It wheels in and out of the garage so easily and the handle folds down to save space while in the garage. It has a pull start and it started on the first pull. While it is running it is just as loud as lawn mower, so it's not overly loud. We hooked it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel. This particular generator is enough for our oil furnace, refrigerator, and a couple lights to run all at the same time. It has an hour meter so you can easily keep track of the hours of use for maintenance purposes. So far, it does what it is suppose to do and I am happy with it.

Great product

We used this generator less than 50- hours. When we needed it again summer of 2020 we discovered the generator burned!!! Very DISAPPOINTED We had to use an older 10- year old Briggs and Stratton that started up right away. We are currently waiting on new generator to be ordered and delivered , due to Covid reasons it's taken this long. We pray once a new generator is installed it will work great for us for years to come.

It exceeds my expectations

I have given this generator a 5 star rating based on my experience with it so far, and so far I haven't needed to use it for the reason it was purchased; to supply emergency power during electrical outages. That having been said, I am impressed with what I have seen so far. The unit arrived in perfect condition, and assembly was easy. I was concerned by the advertised weight at first, but the carton was easily handled by two people, and after assembly, it is easy to move from storage to the driveway where it will be used. The battery was charged when it arrived, and it started right up and ran steadily for about 15 minutes. I had minor difficulty adding the engine oil, in that I had to hunt around for a long necked funnel to use to pour the oil into the unit, no big deal. And, the instructions indicate that you should check the oil level as oil is being added, so as not to overfill the unit. I did this, only to read later that the recommended oil capacity is 1 quart, and exactly one quart of oil was supplied. It would have saved me a few minutes if the instructions said "Pour the 1 quart of enclosed oil into the oil fill plug". Also, no big deal. Finally, it would be nice to have a compartment or something on the unit to hold the battery charger. I solved that problem with a bag attached to the frame with zip ties. If this is all I can find to complain about, I would say that I'm pretty satisfied. I trust that this unit will perform as well when the need arises as it has so far.

One of the best purchases I have ever made!

In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 Midwest Derecho, we were in desperate need of power. Purchased a Generac at Home Depot and had power on first attempt to start! In addition, we were able to run an extension cord to our neighbor to save food in their freezer.

Great, easy to use unit! Powers plenty!!!

Like so many others, going 7 1/2 days without power during the freak October Nor'easter SUCKED! I bought the GP7500E for back up power. Great unit! Easy assemble out of the box....was up and running in 15-20 minutes. We will never be without power. What a relief knowing we won't have to go throught that again! I recently had a friend who's an electrican install a 10 circuit transfer switch. This unit has plenty of juice to power everything we hooked up and then some. Hopefully we won't have to use it too often but, if it goes dark again.....we're ready! Thanks Generac

Works great as expected

I had an old generator that needed replacement. I looked at several but the 7500e seemed to fit what I needed and I had heard good things about Generac. It has electric start and kicks over immediately. I plugged it into the house and tested it with no problems. If I loose power, my basement could flood and in winter can get really cold so now I feel much more secure that I can power whatever is necessary in the house in any season. It is a bit loud by I can live with that in an emergency.
