Brand new, unscrewed the oil dipstick to add oil, and found out the threads were stripped. Immediately ordered and had to pay for a new one.

Great product! However, I really wish that Generac would get another bank besides Synchrony for their customers to finance with.

The first one had a bad LP regulator. Home Depot was great at getting it swapped. The replacement ran like a champ.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the GP9500 Tri Fuel Generator. This purchase will insure emergency power when the need presents itself.

I have not used the generator in an actual power outage situation but when I ran a test it performed really well. I should have paid the difference and got an electric start but that was my mistake. It's a little loud but no more than expected. I believe it will meet my needs for a back-up during power outages.

Best value for price. Easy assembly. Started right up. Ran my pool pump, kegerator, deep well cooler, 1 window ac unit, 1 in wall ac unit with ease. It didn't even strain. Refrigerator and house lights are on solar, battery backup system. I did not try running central ac, stove, although it probably would if other loads were shut off. Connected my oscilloscope while under load. Voltage and frequency right on. Very clean pattern. More than happy with power output, quality.

I needed to run my entire home inn case of a Hurricane. This was the only generator gas powered to accommodate our needs. 50 amp service was more than enough, ran my entire home for almost 3 days till power was restored. I was extremely happy. I referred this model GP17500E to a friend he bought one and like me very happy thank god we didn't need it so far in 2018.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to finally have a generator. Where we live the power constantly goes out even if it’s a small storm. It stays out for hours and hours and we have three children and most of the time we weren’t prepared and had no batteries ready so we sat in the dark. No fun at all. Now I feel so much better because when it goes out we will still be able to have a couple lights on and a space heater. It gives me so much peace of mind. My husband had to take it to work yesterday and he said it worked great! Started up on the first pull. I definitely recommend this generator.

So far seems like a good generator. That said there is more plastic than on my older 5000 (ie choke lever). One definite disappointment is the really cheap and flimsy old fashioned cotter pins used to hold the wheels on. Why not use a self retaining hex as on the handle and feet or at least a heavier slide on style retainer clip????

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd Generac portable generator not because the other ones went bad, but because we use all 3 as a service provider. These always start easily and provide the power we need at the various locations were landed power is not available. Fuel consumption is not the best, but you sacrifice using fuel for the amount of power you actually need. So my recommendation is don't oversize your generator to much for what you actually need.
