I cannot argue against Generac generators. For reliability, dependability and overall satisfaction I recommend getting yourself a Generic. Yes, Generacs' do cost a little more but you get what you pay for. However they are not the most expensive generator company. So, don't skimp on safety and comfort due to price. Go the extra mile and buy yourself a piece of mind. I bought myself a portable generator GP1500E to be sure I have what I need.

This particular model has enough available power to run an average 3 bed room house including the furnace and refrigerator. To ensure a no overload condition have refrigerator turned off until furnace or ac kicks in then turn on. Easy to maintain and easy starting.

This was recommended by the salesperson and as we stood in the checkout line another customer told us how happy he was with the one he purchased last year. It is easy to start and operate. Makes washing lawn equipment easy. We're happy with our purchase.

I purchased this model for my , home back power supply. It can handle all my needs such as power all my outlets , well pump , T.V. & Satellite . I been with out a gen before for over a week . You should speak to your local electrician about what you plan on powering . I can Run my electric hot water heater , but have to turn other things off if I need to make some hot water. we didn't feel it was necessary go larger , just to make hot water once a day .I highly recommend speaking to electrician before any purchase for all your needs electrical needs if you want a home back generator .

My review is based on the DeWalt 6500 made by Generac. DeWalt a name that is associated with quality products. No matter if it's tools or a generator. DeWalt is a name that is synonymous in the industry for quality. This generator is made by Generac for Dewalt which also is a name that is synonymous in the power generator industry for reliable generators. The bigger the watts on the generator usage, the longer run time at 50% power before refueling. In other words if you run the generator at half load (in this particular case 2 divided into 6500 watts = 3250 watts) you will decrease the fuel consumption by about half. The generator will not have to run at maximum speed to produce a continuous 6500 watts. That is why if you plan on purchasing a generator, always purchase a bigger generator in terms of wattage than you will need. This will decrease your fuel consumption by the generator and you'll be able to run for an extended period of time on the same amount of fuel. Living in South Louisiana along the Gulf Coast, we experience hurricanes often.This generator will allow me the peace of mind knowing that the size of this DeWalt generator will allow me to know that this generator will meet my most critical needs after my power has been knocked out and knowing that the DeWalt name is behind this generator. This generator will allow me to keep my refrigerator and freezer (packed with seafood) continually working and keeping my family comfortable in the hot and humid Louisiana weather. One thing to remember, when using a generator, plug-in one appliance at a time to keep the generator from spiking. All appliances have a capacitor which kicks in when first starting the appliance. This draws quite a bit of wattage from the generator. The capacitor is used to to start the unit and once the unit is up and running the capacitor will disengage and the unit will be running normal. Once this is accomplished the next appliance can be plugged into the generator outlet. Repeat the procedure for the next appliance. This procedure will keep the generator from spiking and shutting down. This DeWalt generator is packed with many features that makes it practical and versitly for a portable generator. DeWalt uses two words to define their array of products "GUARANTEED TOUGH" and that is the truth!

I JUST RECEIVED MY GENERATOR TODAY. I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE SOLID DESIGN, EASE OF ATTACHING HANDLES, WHEELS AND FRONT STAND. I AM REPLACING A 2500---3000 WATT GENERATOR THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO SMALL TO RUN MY 220 VOLT WELL PUMP--I WAS OUT OF ELECTRIC POWER FOR 11 DAYS AND WANT TO BE READY NEXT TIME.

During the ice storm of 2013 our areas' power was out for 8 days. I borrowed my brothers Generac4500 and was impressed with it's ability to supply power for services of our rural property. When you are in the country and you loose power it includes you water supply and with horses it was essential that we had a constant and dependable power supply for this period. We have since purchased a Generac7500 with electric start and it is able to supply stable power for our whole house. We have used it recently when the power was out for a day and we never missed a beat.

I just had the generator wired to my house and the electrician and I ran a test. It ran everything in the house. It won't run the heat pump or furnace, but that's o.k., it will keep us from going to a hotel and the contents of the refrigerator /freezer won't go bad.

Have installed and maintained Generac Whole home generators. So I am familiar with the quality , ease of Operation and maintenance of Generac products. Bought this for home backup After electrical outage. And with ice storm on its back fully anticipate using it. Am pleased with what I've seen and will add another review if I use it with my thoughts on product.

First run under load. 260 volts and 62.4 hertz I would like the instructions to adjust this. No service in my area. I would have to drive 80 miles to a shop that may be able to adjust this. The current fuel prices don't allow me too make two 160 mile trips . They will not take it back because I have run it. Running it, is the only way I found out it was not outputting proper voltage and frequency. Does anybody know where to adjust the xd5000E voltage This obviously was never checked at the factory before it was sent out. I am capable to do this.
