I bought this generator after my old one (not a Generac) quit. I always shut off the fuel and let the carburetor run out of fuel. I also use Seafoam in the gas. This helps to stabilize the fuel and keeps the jets clean. I purchased a product called Generlink that fits behind my electric meter and allows me to plug the generator directly into the meter. I also use a solar power battery tender to keep the battery charged. I am very happy with how this generator performs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Generac generator arrived in a large box and was pre-assembled. The product is bright orange making it easy to spot in our unorganized garage. It was easy to use and instructions were simple. I would recommend everyone has a generator in their home in the event of emergency or prolonged power outage. This would easily power our freezer/refrigerator. It is also compact enough that you could take it camping or to an outdoor event. The only small complaint would be with regard to packaging. As we all know, items shipped get banged around and my generator had a small crack in the outer plastic casing. It was nothing that prevented it from working properly but if it was shipped further perhaps more damage would have been done so I would suggest more padded materials inside the box.

I highly recommend this generator to everyone. My GP7500E was easy to set up and get started right away. It will be nice when the power goes out here in south Arkansas again and I can just start up my generator and not miss a beat. This generator will do all we need to do. Thanks Generac.

Generator was purchased during the Northeast's infamous "end of August 2011 storm" and provided excellent whole house emergency power throughout that week long period, and the subsequent week long storm emergency the following October. The only complaint is that the fuel turn-off valve knob broke off when turned off. Aside from the inconvenience of transporting it back to the dealer, the problem was quickly rectified under guarantee and with out question.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh wow! What an amazing opportunity to try this. We did use natural gas in this just to try it out and it was incredibly powerful! The unit is noisy but not so much that it would be a disturbance. Our old generator was much louder. This unit is quite compact and easy to move around. It will definitely come in handy when the power goes out! Love that it takes 3 different types of fuel too. Very convenient. Generac is such a trusted brand that lasts too!

Got this as 'insurance' against the increasing number of power outages. My electrician set up wiring for easy connection to my breaker box. It's really easy to roll around and use. It runs all the essential things (sump pump, furnace, refrigerator/freezer some lights, one burner on fridge, computer) - about 1/2 the house - plenty for an extended outage. I am almost looking forward to putting it through its paces during the next outage. Almost.

10 year old unit so take this with a grain of salt. This is a great unit and meets all our needs. But it does have one, I'll call it a design flaw. The fuel pump has a ground wire that needs to make good contact with the motor. The end that attaches to the motor is copper or brass and tends to corrode and break contact. Cost me a $100 to have a repair man come out and buff it with sandpaper. Hope they have corrected this.

I have always wanted one of these generators, the reputation is backed up by it's performance. Unit is packaged correctly to prevent damage. Unit is extremely easy to assemble and set up. Started up almost instantaneous the first time, and all the features are very easy to learn. I plan on using with a power transfer switch to power my house when power is lost. Great product, great company, great reputation!

Just the right size with the right features and at the right price. Wired it in myself with a Reliance generator transfer switch. Bought a GenTent for wet weather use. Had to use it twice already and it worked out great. I'm very happy with my GP3600.

Assembly was easy, directions were clear and parts well identified. The unit started easily on first pull. We had a problem with a "smart" refrigerator tripping the 20 amp breaker, so we rigged up an a-dapter to provide 120v from the 30 amp 240v receptacle. The home-made a-dapter worked, but Generac should include a proper 240v/120v adapter for the 30 amp receptacle so that the capabilities of the unit can be fully utilized from the get-go with scrambling for a home-made remedy.
