[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came at just the time I needed it, we had a bad storm and lost power for a while, and i got a chance to us it! I'm impressed, it did it's job!! It was so easy to put together, the instructions were clear cut, and I'm overall impressed with it. If I had any qualms, i would say it's a little pricy for me, but I'm so very thankful I now have one. It's a good product and I would recommend.

i highly recommend everybody having a generac generator as an emergency backup after going through hurricane irma and having no power for 8 days and we lost all of our perishable food in deep freeze and refrigerator because we did not get generator until after the storm but so glad i ordered it because of the unbearable heat in florida and we were able to run window ac's and well to take showers very satisfied.

After returning the original purchase due to a defect, the replacement generator went together quickly and easily. I was concerned about previous reviews that talked about difficulty putting oil in and putting the wheels on, but I had no problems. You do need a funnel to add oil, but a funnel with a long neck worked fine. After the unit was assembled, I put some fuel in it and it fired right up. I also put a small load on it to ensure it was actually working. All in all, I'm happy and confident this unit will perform as expected when it is needed.

This is a great unit. I live in a colder climate in a home with base board electric heat. The unit handles the house load well. I had no problem with the 2 ton heat pump/air conditioner. Assembly was easy enough, but instructions on wheel assembly could be improved with larger diagram. This unit is heavy. The pneumatic tires are good. the only negative is the wheels should be bearings instead of bushings. This could make the unit a little easier to move around. Unit is a little loud, but that can be expected with a 30HP engine. A second muffler attachment could help if it didn't place to much back pressure on the engine.

Have been waiting for this model to go on sale for over a year. Finally found it at a local business for $150 less than the big box stores. Wanted a Generac as it has always been rated very good by Consumers Report. Haven't used it yet, but assembly instructions were very easy to follow. Started up on the first crank.

Bought when power went out in early august. Ran 2 fridges and a chest freezer without a hiccup! Recently had a transfer switch set up so now I can power the whole house if I want to. Starts on first or second pull every time, and has enough power to not strain at all.

I found the unit to be well made. As big as it was, it is easier to move than I thought it would be. Well balanced. All features are well marked. I purchased the unit for power outage during severe weather. This unit replaces a smaller unit that could not handle all of our needs. The investment will be worth it when we lose power again out here in the country.

After researching and using other products, such as Honda. I could not help but know that my GP6500 is the best bang for the buck! I know the dependability of generac having owned one in the past ( used it as an enticement on sale of my previous home). This particular model will also give a surge of power when increase of load is needed . With proper maintenance there is no reason it should not last a very long time. Very comforting to know the dependability of the generac name. Living in Florida having dependable back up power is essential. Sleeping better knowing I now have it!

I bought this generator a year ago after living thru other storms with no power. I never used it until the past two weeks with Hurricane Sandy here in NJ. Flawless performance. My friends and neighbors struggled with smaller generators ... the GP17500 ran without a hitch for hundreds of hours nonstop. Well worth it, not only for comfort and convenience of running everything in the home, but also for the for peace of mind that I wasn't under-powered or getting up in the middle of the night to refill the gas. Glad I got a portable ... when my power was restored I was able to let a friend borrow it.

Just unpacked my new GP7500E. Easy setup to get running. Powered a few items just to test the generator. Will be easy enough for my wife to use before I can get home. Only disappointment was that there wasn't the extra cord included (twist lock to 3 plugs) but not a deal breaker.
