great product

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.

A Life-Saver!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've lost power four times this summer due to intense Philly storms, and I can honestly say the Generac Tri-Fuel Portable Generator 50ST came in clutch every single time. Setup was straightforward, and the tri-fuel option (gasoline, propane, or natural gas) gave us flexibility depending on what we had on hand. We mostly ran it on propane, and it powered everything we needed — fridge, lights, fans, and even the Wi-Fi — without breaking a sweat. The runtime is solid, and the peace of mind it gave us during outages was worth every penny. It's not the lightest piece of equipment, but it's built to last and easy to move with the wheels. Noise level is totally manageable for a unit this powerful. If you live in an area prone to storms or unreliable power, this generator is an absolute game-changer. After this summer, I wouldn't be without it.

This product has every thing I need in a portable generator

I was able to get this generator on sale. So I was able to purchase a larger one than originally intending to buy. It has all the features I need in a portable generator. It was easy to assemble and it started right up after adding fuel. I have not had to use it yet for emergency power but it should be able to handle all of our basic needs.

Works as advertised.

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.

Solid Generator

My generator has worked flawlessly since I purchased it. Unfortunately I have been unable to get it to work as I had intended, which is to run my pool circulation pump during winter power outages. I have verified through multiple electrical experts that my connection from the generator to the pool equipment is correct. My next step is to adjust the Hertz output down to 60 from the 62 it is currently producing. Any direction you can provide me to make that adjustment would be sincerely appreciated.

Bigger than advertised

Great generator and I've owned several over years. Very much leaning toward it being much stronger than 6500 it's more like an 8500.... Also idk what they're talking about 10.5hrs on a tank I powered my home 19.5hrs on same tank of gas during a several days outage.

Purchased in the Nick-Of-Time !

I worked hard to find a full service dealer and settled on FD-Hayes, Lansing MI and was extremely pleased with their recommendations for this unit, installation and training. I had this installed on a Monday and literally that Thursday we lost power for 4 days and this unit performed admirably. The safety-switch mechanism on the breaker box was foolproof and the electric start was a real help. I ran it about 24 hours on a single tank of gas, it saved my frozen foods and kept my fridges at temp. I didnt use AC and that is not really a problem as I knew going in that AC would not be viable with this unit.

First impression, this is heavy and more than I ne

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The generac 9500 is nice. However it is heavy, like 265 lbs. I thought I would be able to use it more but not a lot of opportunity at this point. It stays tucked in the garage. It does make some noise but not as load as my old air compressor. Overall I think it is a good product I just don't have a lot of use for it. I requested it to see if this app would sent me something that big. Knowing Influenster will I will be more targeted in the future. Initial impressions on the 9500 are great. That being said I am not a hard use.

Great Unit

I purchased about a month ago. Generator arrived in good condition, and unpacking and getting ready to use was well instructed, but a bit more time consuming than I had thought it would be. Only "semi-complaint" is the unit is very loud. It would get a five star from me if the muffler system made the unit a bit more quiet.

My Generator

This generator is a beast, I haven't had a power outage yet but I ran it for 12 hours on a tank of gas just to try it and it didn't miss a beat, I could run anything in the house with no problems, it's a little expensive but anything that's worth having usually is especially in the winter months in Michigan and I am so glad I have a backup plan 😊
