I bought the GP8000E to replace my Honda 7000 that was over 25 years old. The setup was relatively straight forward except for attaching the battery cables. When I unclipped the zip tie holding the battery leads for shipping, I didnt notice that the power connector for the starter had become disconnected, probably when I cut the zip tie. I called Generac Support as the electric start was not working and they had me check all the connections including the power connector for the starter. I connected it and the generator started right up. I've only had it for a month but I love it as its easy to operate.

This generator is all that the advt. said about it. It arrived on time and truck driver even offered to take the cardboard packing back. It was simple to put together and the directions on the box were a big help too.I put it together wheels and handle, put the oil in and it started right up. The battery does not charge when it is running so a battery maintainer should at least be mentioned in the ads. I bought one soon after. Thanks PED good job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is fantastic in quality, as one would expect from the leaders in generators. We live in Florida and store insulin along with medical equipment that has to be charged regularly so this is a must for power outages. I hated not knowing if we'd have enough gas to last us, but having three fuel sources relieves my mind. Our house has natural gas already, and we regularly have multiple LP tanks, so it's nice not having to worry about gas fumes from storing gasoline or trying to find gas during storm prep unless we want to. It's a bit large for traveling with it, but this would be an awesome unit for camping if you need a lot of plug-ins powered up and have a truck bed to load it on. The unit itself is easy to start, and easy enough to wheel around short distances. It has multiple outlets to connect into, and a panel to show how long it's running. It's really simple to use, although we have solar on our house so we can't connect into the main panel without some extra costs, so extension cords are the maximum of our experience so far. The unit is quieter than our previous model despite it being larger.

bought the gp7500e to replace a manual start generator. at 72 many times i could not start a manual start.this is a backup for power failures. runs everything needed with a manual transfer switch.starts instantly only concern is it has external charger- does not charge battery by running generator. charger is included.

Generac GP7500E performs as noted in sales literature. Purchased as temporary backup house power. Test run confirmed this unit runs minimum house appliances (2 split aircon units, refrigerator, tv, WiFi, house receptacles and lights). It is a bit loud, but appears to be quite fuel efficient.

Turned it on and no electric powe on all the outlet. Pressed the circuit breaker still no power. Got a pencil a pushed harder and got power. Those buttons have to be pushed in deeper than I would have expected . Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. We have been lucky, haven't lost power yet.

This generator performs very well. I really like the fact that the 240 volt plug has a real circuit breaker rather than the pop out type. Makes a big difference in hot weather. The only thing I don't like is that it does not charge the battery when running. After multiple starts you have to charge it with a charger.

its a piece of junk right out of the box..they keep giving me the run the around.dont buy a generac..has 9.2 hours on it and wont start.do not buy a generac of any kind this is 2 generators now.both are junk

Unit was defected. No output power. None of authorized shop recommend can fix it. Could not refund to due to crazy FleetFarm policy. Running around for 2 weeks trying to get it fix. Loss $20 to drain gas not cover by warranty. Terrible experience. Don't recommend it.

Purchased this portable generator, had a problem with it after 15 min. of running.. Called for assistance and No One would come to my house to repair it. They only would come if it was a standby generator. I like Generac Products but my was 450 pounds and I could not service it myself. Plus it was under warranty.
