I think the washer will be great. It has good features for different uses, however, the first time we used it the high pressure water hose failed. Blew a hole in it. The company was quick to replace it, (but just saying.) Don't know if this is a common problem or just an odd occurance. Will know more after additional use.

We recently had a wind storm and lost electricity for five hours. Five seconds after the power went off our generator fired up and we continued our activities. Our special needs daughter continued watching her cartoons as we prepared dinner. Best investment I've ever made.

I had experienced (3) basement floods due to power outages in the neighborhood causing my electric sump pump not to work. I finally decided to add a generator to run the whole house including the sump pump and thank goodness I did. We experienced any power outage and the generator kicked on immediately. Thanks Generac!!!

This unit replaced an older generator and doubled the wattage. The Power Management features permit the monitoring of our entire 300 amp service vs. 16 dedicated circuits previously. It's quieter, has a smaller footprint and the wireless module keeps me and our servicing company in constant touch.

Product is an insurance policy making sure you have power when a failure occurs. Installation prices are high and some installers want almost as much to install the unit as the unit cost. When power fails, the unit is automatic and restores whole house power.

Several of my friends have one and has never let them down. It has now given me peace of mind when I leave the house as I have a sump pump in the basement and with the new building code,, all the water goes there. They only drawback is the installation cost. Can't see how it cost almost as much as the generator and it takes them only 3 hours to install.

I am impressed with the size and how it is able to take care of my whole house. We have had two times that it has came on due to a storm and the other FPL. Everything that we had on before we lost power came back on as soon as the generator turned on. Love it!

My wife works from home and before generator we when through a period of several power failures. Needless to say this caused problems. After much research I decided on Generac and have no regrets. Installation and setup were simple enough. Luckily God gave me the ability to understand and follow instructions. We've had the generator for about 8 mouths now and only needed one time, but it worked great. Just like it was supposed to. Wish we had it sooner! An excellent investment.

We live in the south and figured this would just be a "what if" we had ice or snow product. Rarely do we have a winter in which we encounter a power outage from ice on the lines. However, we have already been grateful for having the Generac installed. Every other Wednesday it comes on and tests itself like we had the electrician program it to do as was specified in the instructions, but twice we've had the power just pop off for other mechanical reasons in our area. In fact, last night the generator kicked in at 11:45 p.m. when the transformer outside decided to "die." It took the electric company till 2:20 a.m. to get the power back on. We were glad for the heat, don't laugh, but we had a low of 32 degrees last night and for us that's a little low to be without heat. Also, we didn't have to worry about the food in the frig. The other time was during the fall, when the temperature and the humidity were both still very high. We were able to enjoy the afternoon inside while cool and relaxed. My dad is 92 and I am also retired so having a comfortable home is very important to us and our generator makes that all possible. Don't hesitate to buy a Generac. It's reliable and wonderfully efficient.

We live in a very wooded suburb of Boston. One might think that living 30 minutes outside of a city isn't the type of place for power issues, but our town is densely wooded with lots of tall mature pines everywhere. Whenever there's any kind of storm, be it a thunderstorm in the summer, a nor'easter or ice storm in the winter, we lose power almost guaranteed. The power company in our area is also extremely slow to restore power. Any outage guarantees at least 12+ hours of downtime, with many outages lasting 2-3 days. We got tired of spoiled food, no heat, and just huge headaches. We got this 18kW Generac 7226 installed by a local dealer last year, and it's already gotten us through two multi-day outages. It's so nice to not worry about our refrigerator and our heat in the wintertime anymore. We're able to continue our daily lives as normal while it just hums away outside powering our house. The automatic transfer switch takes care of switching back to main power after immediately once it's back, even in the middle of the night. If you're on the fence, go for a Generac. You won't be disappointed.
