Two weeks after installation of the generator and the GenTran switch we were hit with the "great November snow" in New England. Some people in CT were out of power for 9 days or more. We were out for the 10 minutes it took for me to wheel the generator out, plug it in, start it, and shift circuits to it. SMOOTH! Never a hitch or a glitch. I LOVE it!

I bought this generator after Hurricane Irene and I had to put it in service during the freak October snowstorm that hit the East Coast. It performed as well as expected. I used it for 36 hours without a hitch. My wife was happy to have hot water to take a shower and also she enjoyed being able to use the microwave. I argued with her for 14 years as to the pros of having a generator. She always said it would be a waste of money, guess what ? Her tune changed during the snowstorm. She was happy to have the generator.

bought after hurricane went home put together, oil/gas in it started right up, after i found a 30amp cord i hooked up camper on 30amp and the house ref and freezer on 20amp everthing works great ran for 12/14 hrs. It would be great if 30and 20 amp adapter were supplied and not having to try and find in an emergency.

I just purchased the GP7500E for emergency backup for our house. We experience several power outages during the winter. This is my first purchase of a portable generator. It was easy to assemble. I added oil and gas, turned on the fuel, set the choke, pushed the start button and it started right away. It even comes with a battery charger. This will be the perfect back up power for us. It is a little louder than I had hoped but, we can get over that when the first outage happens and we have power in the house. It is connected to a manual transfer panel and the change from hydro to back up is very easy to accomplish. Come on winter storms!!

This new unit is replacing a 9 KW portable unit that ran my whole house except for the Hot Tub and central AC. The new Generac runs the whole house with power left over. I just wish that it would come with a voltmeter. It was easy to assemble and runs great.

Bought this unit during a major power outage following a wind storm. Easy to set up, but unit didn't like full choke setting to start in high temp. Used 2 120V outlets for my house. One to connect to a strip to power freezer, modem & router in basement. Also ran sump pump b4 connecting to freezer. Connected 2nd outlet to strip on 1st floor to run fridge, LCD TV and fan. Let one of my neighbors use 3rd 120V outlet to run his fridge & freezer. Heard change in pitch of generator, when a compressor powered up. Unit worked without problem for 10½ hours, when commercial power came back up. Used about a full 7.2 gal tank. Very pleased with performance. It was a little noisy in the room next to the deck, where it sat, but not unbearable.

We had three installation quotes and they were all very different configurations. Not many installers know the large portable set up. took longer than anticipated, and research. Once we reviewed the steps it was very easy. Moving to desired location also took planning as this is 450lbs. Good idea to have a battery charger on hand, we needed to charge the battery.

Good product, easy set up and install. Live in rural area and power sometimes goes out for a while, so always wanted this. Looking for an enclosure to buy so I can store it closer to outlet, not sure how it will pull through snow from garage. Started on first pull, hope it's always that easy to start.

the 7500e arrived on time and within an hour it was setup and tested. it starts immediately and purrs like a kitten. when we did a load test we were happily surprised. the watt meters showed that we could comfortably operate our home with power to spare. the value we derived from this purchase will give us years of electrical security. thanks Generac for a product well done1

Purchased on the day hurricane Sandy arrived. I ran it for 12 straight days without a problem. I only turned it off to change the oil 3 times. Very well made and dependable. A bit noisy but most gas generators are. Only knock is that the gas gauge stopped working after 2 days.
