Overall I really like this unit. The electric start is great because I have my eldery parents & my sister living w/me and this makes this unit simple to operate. As for the generator runs wonderful & is about as loud as any other portable unit. My 2 complaints would be that the wheels are really cheap & the fit & finish on my unit were not the best in my opion . Also I have a generac cord and a 30 amp generac receptacle gen box as well which I love. Overall 4.8 stars!

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!!

One minor part (battery wire terminal boot cover) missing from shipment that did not affect assembly nor operation so far. Will call Generac to get the part. Unit started immediately after assembly with no problem. Putting the feet and wheels on is NOT a one-man job without a jacking device or something to lever the unit. The issue is likely common to all brands. Connecting the battery terminals requires care to avoid shock. It would be better if the terminals were separated lengthwise on the battery, as opposed to both being along a "short" side, as presently configured. Oil fill is a pain, as it is on most small engines today. "Quality" is not only the power, but the long-term reliability. I have no reason to expect the unit will not last for years, but the short warranty period (all brands are the same) gives pause. Ask me again in 5 or 10 years and "average" could become "excellent".

It was easy to put together, add wheels, handles, added oil/gas. Even though it has electric start, just before starting, I pulled the cord very lightly just to ensure the oil was distributed, the unit started! Very reliable! The electric start works too. Would recommend.

During the ice storm of 2013 our areas' power was out for 8 days. I borrowed my brothers Generac4500 and was impressed with it's ability to supply power for services of our rural property. When you are in the country and you loose power it includes you water supply and with horses it was essential that we had a constant and dependable power supply for this period. We have since purchased a Generac7500 with electric start and it is able to supply stable power for our whole house. We have used it recently when the power was out for a day and we never missed a beat.

While I've not yet tested the GP7500E under loss of power conditions I must say the product does what it says. It is easy to put together, run, and register. It starts smartly and continues without apparent problems or interruptions. I would like to see a trickle charger incorporated into the unit or a recharging feature that would recharge the batteries when the unit is running. This is my only drawback, otherwise, dependable and smooth running. It gets the job done!

We were in the Michigan Ice Storm of December 22, 2013. Our yard looked like a war zone when it was over, trees pulled our power lines to the ground. I bought this generator on Monday the 23rd and got it running and hooked up to my fridge, freezer and furnace and several lights in no time at all, very easy to set up and run. It ran flawlessly for four whole days and nights, it would run 12-14 hours on a tank of gas. So glad I bought this, we enjoyed our Christmas with family, even though we did not have power to our house. Buy this generator, it will run your whole house!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Generac generator is a tri fuel generator i like that you can use gasoline or propane or natural gas it also has a CO sensor that shuts off the generator if it detects carbon monoxide you can start it with a push button or a pull rope it is not very noisy it is easy to assemble and easily rolls where ever you need it

I've owned my 7500E for just over 8 months now. As others have mentioned, from ordering to delivery was flawless, set up took very little time. Once I had the transfer switch installed, I ran through a test of all 10 circuits with the electrician and it barely created a load on it...even he was amazed. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and feel very confident recommending it to anyone considering this model.

No big complaints. Strong powerful seemingly well built machine that delivers consistent power. I ran it continuously for 16 hours on 1 tank @ 1500/2000 watts. With cycling stuff on and off run time easily should go over a day. Things I don't like, battery doesn't charge while running the generator and no fuel drain valve.
