Product is great except for the user manual

User manual could be a little better on how to operate the generator, I spent an hour trying to figure out why it was not putting out power. I finally figured out the problem. Other than that it looks to be a great generator!

Passed the test.

Bought this generator the day after Florence hit Wilmington. Ran it for 4 days. Performed flawlessly. With a little maintenance, this generator should do the trick for a long time.

Works great as expected

I had an old generator that needed replacement. I looked at several but the 7500e seemed to fit what I needed and I had heard good things about Generac. It has electric start and kicks over immediately. I plugged it into the house and tested it with no problems. If I loose power, my basement could flood and in winter can get really cold so now I feel much more secure that I can power whatever is necessary in the house in any season. It is a bit loud by I can live with that in an emergency.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We trust the Generac name. It was easy to assemble out of the box. Portability is great as it comes with never flat wheels. Fired right up and I am impressed with the quietness of the unit. I was expecting it to be much louder. Have only ran it a handful of times, but I have not came across any issues. We live in Tornado Alley and this will be a blessing during storms, however this is also great for job sites.

DIDN'T FIRE UP ON IT'S MAIDEN VOYAGE DESPITE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS

DIDN'T FIRE UP ON IT'S MAIDEN VOYAGE DESPITE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. WAS HARD TO LOCATE A UNIT DURING THE PANDEMIC AND HAD TO TRAVEL 4 HOURS ROUND TRIP TO GET IT. BOUGHT IT, THOROUGHLY READ THE MANUAL, DID EVERYTHING TO THE "T" OF RUNNING NON ETHANOL GAS, HOOKING IT UP TO TRICKLE CHARGER, ETC ETC. I TEST RAN IT EVERY WEEK. LAST NIGHT WE GOT HIT WITH A 2 FOOT PLUS STORM AND SHE DIDN'T FIRE. VERY, VERY VERY VERY VERY UNHAPPY AND NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM GENERAC. SHAME ON YOU. I EXPECT A CALL FROM GENERAC INFORMING ME HOW THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THANKS.

Great machine for the money

I purchased this machine to replace an older smaller unit. The sale price made it very attractive, so I purchased. The unit works well, starts quickly and puts out enough power for most rural homes. I live in an area where the power goes out 3 to 4 times a year for more than 4 hours so a back up is very necessary. This unit will run a deep well pump, furnace, freezer and refrigerator at the same time with power to spare for lights and some electronics. I also like the gas shut off valve that came on the machine. I shut off the gas then let it run out to clean out the carburetor. This keeps the carb clean and working as today's gas is so poor and eats any rubber parts and seals in the carb. The built in handle and wheels make this no harder to move than my older smaller unit.

Great for me

Being a senior citizen,I needed less complicated products.This generator is exactly what I needed for me to maintain.Not as heavy as some and makes it easier for me to move it without help.Coming from an area with frequent storms causing power outages, this is just right for what I need..

Generac 6500

I had previously owned a Generac 6500 and needed another unit due to the worst ice storm to hit in decades. I found a unit 3 hours away. It was worth the trip. I cut open the box, added the oil, handle and wheels. Put gas in the tank, and it fired up on the first pull. Quality I knew I could trust. It was worth the trip to bypass the lesser known brands.
