Excellent generator!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much for letting me test out this generator. It is so easy to use. I did have help setting it up as it was very heavy. Once we got it on the wheels it was a breeze to maneuver. This feature helps to get it out of storage once it is actually needed. This generator works great and without jinxing myself I can't wait to use it. This generator will have enough power to operate all of my essential appliances if the power happens to go out. I can't say enough good things about it!!

Perfect peace of mind for backup power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As we head into the winter months, I'm so grateful to have the Generac Power Systems GP5500 Single Fuel Portable Generator. Power outages are pretty common where I live, and having this gives me real peace of mind knowing I can keep our outdoor refrigerator running and save our perishables if we lose power. The generator itself is quite large, but that's to be expected given its power and capacity — and setup was surprisingly easy with minimal assembly required right out of the box. It feels solid, well-built, and dependable. While I mainly use it as a backup for power loss, it's strong enough to handle outdoor work or hobby use as well. It's one of those purchases you hope you don't need often, but you're so thankful to have when you do.

Dual-fuel, easy start, and reliably powers essent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator has been a great backup for storms. I love that it runs on propane or regular gasoline.Having both options makes it so much easier when stores are crowded or one fuel is hard to find. It starts up quickly and is simple to use, even for someone who isn't super technical. When our power went out last week, it kept the essentials running: fridge, lights, Wi-Fi/router, and a couple of other small items we needed. No hiccups, no fuss. Switching between fuels is straightforward, and it's been very reliable every time we've tested it. If you're looking for peace of mind during outages, this has been a solid, no-drama solution for our home

Great features.

I bought this one, it served me well during these power outages they have here in Tennessee. Powered my fridge, two bedrooms ( t/v's and boxes), electric fire places. Filled it up at night, it would run all night. (8+ hours). It served me well. I have the whole house one now.

needless waste of my time to resolve warranty issu

Originally purchased unit from a general distributor. The product did not work as it should. Spent months trying to get that resolved. The process was gruesome and useless. Finally after months & hours of my time a resolution was determined to replace the unit with a new one. This unit appears to perform as advertised and expected. So long story short, replacement made but after months of aggravation. Not what I ever bargained for.

Must Have!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much for the opportunity to test out this generator! It was incredibly easy to use. I did need a bit of help setting it up since it's quite heavy, but once we got it on the wheels, it was a breeze to move around. That feature alone makes it so convenient to take out of storage when it's needed. The generator runs beautifully, and without jinxing myself, I'm actually looking forward to using it when the time comes. It has more than enough power to keep all my essential appliances running during an outage. I really can't say enough good things about it!

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is great, out of the box it started on the second pull, I used my electric chipper with it since there are no plugs anywhere near my garden in the back of my yard and it powered it great. Haven't used in a power outage yet but when the time comes I'm sure it'll work great. I used it on propane the first time and it's amazing how easy it is to use on propane. I don't plan to run gas in it unless I need the extra power, or I know I'll be running it for a while.

A must have on the farm for power outages! We will

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the Generac Dual Fuel Generator. I gave it a try on my farm and it effortlessly powered anything I asked of it. Skill saws, lights, anything! It was easy to assemble. Propane took a minute to get started but gasoline fuel fired right up. The only reason I knock of one star is the difficulty we had starting it initially. Noise level is adequate for it's size. I couldn't imagine the farm without it. It also provides me comfort to know it's ready when needed for one of our many power outages!

Portable gas powered energy on the go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is more bang for its buck than I expected. A little pricey and definitely on the heavier side, that can be overlooked since It's easy to set up, great for portable job work, and an awesome machine to power your appliances if there's ever a power outage.

Good in a pinch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable generator will work in a pinch if there is a power outage. It's easy to use, easy to move, and has enough output to power most appliances. Buyers should understand that generator won't be able to power multiple major appliances, but you can power a refrigerator or freezer just fine! The GP5500 runs on unleaded gasoline and has a run time of about 10hrs. It was easy to assemble and took about 20mins to put on the handle, wheels, and rubber feet. I've only put about 4hrs of time on it so far and it has worked great. Overall, if there is a major power outage, you can count on this generator to function when you need it.
